Thief, we want it!

[Sumii]

You'd probably know more than I do, I just remember reading all of this back in Beta Forums, I wasn't here for 1.0, but I'm guessing you were?
I remember my FC telling me about how Musketeer was supposed to make it in 1.0, which is why it already has a guild in Limsa, but I wouldn't know where to start finding out this info. since I read it all on beta forums. Sorry, I can try and look but I promise nothing XD

Haha. Yeah I've been here since alpha 1.0. The musketeer's guild always caused so many rumors back then, but ever since Tanaka went to XI and Yoshi took over XIV I haven't seen anything official about the job actually making an appearance. Tons of rumors/hearsay just like plenty of other jobs/classes. I was just looking to see if anyone had 'hard evidence' from the Yoshi monster himself.

like we are missing a jobs for share leather+strength stuff

Not 100% true, until lvl 30, DRG is primary using STR leather with Monk

Well if someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I did read something "official" on the Beta forums(ARR) for Musketeer, but like I said, I wouldn't have a clue where to find it here sorry >.<;

I'm sure that musketeer will be the first class added, so thief will have to wait. Reasons:
1. There are only 2 battle classes in Limsa, while gridania and uldah have 3
2. Maelstorm leader is a musketeer

Potential jobs for him:
Machinist/Engineer - DPS
Chemist - healer

I think more clases will come when another city-state gets introduced, so thief will have to wait even more, after current classes get 2nd job.

Nerf thief, better late than sorry ^^

Why do people keep posting these threads? Do you never listen to live letters or read stuff the Dev's put out? First new job will "probably be something like dark knight" per freaking Yoshi P. Even that new job will be in the next expansion. It will be years before you see stuff like thf or rdm in the game. So many other jobs are lined up first. Yoshi said if he had his way the next job he would put in would be red mage, but its not feasible right now. This is all stuff you can read and find out about if you just do some digging.

Total troll ...

There was a lvl 50 THF in Limsa the other day near the market boards.

In a prior post in the thread I commented on this, I'm not sure how to make it appropriate really. As long as its viable DPS for end game content, I'm happy.

See my Performer idea in my signature. It's really not that hard.

I believe the term "Scout" has already been referenced by Yoshi in regards to a new agility class.

So likely:

Scout (Class) >> Thief (Job1), Ninja (Job2)

This would also be acceptable.

never, in the beta, they have always said that for now, musketeer is not a priority, that the official statement. we will not see it in the first new class added sorry.


actually the message about class are this:
from live letter 5 from june.

Q: Can you give us any information about possible new classes or jobs like thief, ninja, samurai, or musketeer?
A: We definitely want to add more classes in future patches. For melee classes, I believe scout-type classes are somewhat lacking. By this I mean classes that can move around stealthily and attack from behind or steal items from monsters. The lack of magic classes needs to be addressed as well. We've received requests for ninja and samurai, especially from overseas, but we can't give out any specifics yet. Rest assured that new classes are definitely coming.

about musketeer it's this:
from live letter number 7

[1:24:36]
Q: Is there any new information on musketeer?
A: Nope!

about the dark knight it's used by yoshida in an interview when talking about the thing they can do about adding new jobs. there:

• The Secrets of Eorzea (SOE)

Will you make the second jobs very different from their class or first job? For example, the Dark Knight is a very aggressive job and since you seem to want it to become the second Gladiator job (This has never been confirmed but since Yoshi-P always uses it as an example, you never know... ), don't you think Gladiator's abilities are in contradiction with his style?

• Naoki Yoshida (NY):

I see what you mean. We created the system, but we do not necessarily need to follow it all the time. For example, let’s say that the Dark Knight is the second Gladiator job (attention, it is still not a confirmation), when you get its job stone at level 30, all acquired Gladiator skills will certainly be modified to better fit the image of the Dark Knight.

It was just to give an example to explain that we are not going to destroy how players consider different classes / jobs. It could be an interesting way to introduce future classes / jobs. We will consider your concerns on this issue, rest assured.
This should make things more interesting, don't you think?

from there: http://www.secrets-eorzea.com/en/new...rets-of-eorzea

people a mixing a lot of information a bit like some was thinking pvp and housing was meant to be there at the release... when is not.

ps: a lot of information from the beta have been loose, it's sad but true...
pss: you will not that while the live letter 5, he didn't talk of the musketeer because actually ranged class are not the priority.
