Yoshi-P New Classes/Jobs Release Plan.

[IStolzI]

Also, I think lvl cap raise and second jobs for all classes need to be added before new classes/race. A dd job for gla (mystic knight?), Templar for lancer, time Mage for thm, hunter or ranger for arc, oracle for con. Pup for h2h. Beast master for mrd. Save DRK for GS class and THF for knife class.

Padjal isn't gonna be playable...ever. Yoshi already said they are a rare race in the lore, so he won't make them playable because instead of 100 living in Eorzea, there will be thousands. Doesn't fit the lore.

Got a source on that? Just curious to see what he said exactly.

I would actually be really okay if DRK came out of GLD. SE just needs to take daggers away from GLD and give them to whatever class gives access to the THF. Also, if anything else comes out of CNJ, it needs to be Geomancer. It just makes too much sense for it to be anything else.

Maybe we'll see Padjal as a new race?

Padjal aren't a race. According to lore these are children born to typical Gridanian Hyur that the Elementals have decided to bless. They do not age past a certain point and act as translators between the Elementals and Gridanians.

Likely we'll either get one of the pre-existing beastmen or a form of viera maybe even pure blood Garleans who decided to break away from the empire.

Thanks, but I was looking for where Yoshi-P specifically ruled them out. If he said that, then that's that. Though the lore stuff is interesting.

Out curiosity, Why is it that so many people demand that new class/jobs simply MUST be tanks?
I'm referring to posts here about making Ninjas based on Gladiators and giving them shields, or weird concepts thrown out for Red Mages to make them Tanks ... Why do these classes *need* to be Tanks?
.

On the Red Mage front I personally want to see a caster tank, I think it would be interesting because its not really done all that often and I really don't see the need for yet another tank that follows the same pattern as Paladin/ Warrior. I mean if someone wanted to play a heavy armored tank.. well its there.

As for why Ninja or even Thief could have a proper tanking role the conceit of the heavy armored tank is a holdover from D&D but in D&D the tanking classes were a wall that had to be gotten behind to get ot the squishier types. This is not how MMOs do it. a Tank in an MMO holds agro by baiting and survives it. Go watch the Hobbit. Watch Bilbo Tank.

Dark knight

I want a 2-hand Dark Knight that can use an ultimate weapon like Apoc, then I will be in love with this game They have to add better weapons though.

Thief/Rogue/assassin. Is a classic job cant miss! in a RPG or MMRPG. I cant believe this wonderfull game dont have Thief Class until now.

The problem with this Class is really dificult balance for PvP or for PvE. The players usually dont understand a Thief never will do the same damage of a "Heavy DPS".

Thief Could work better as a DPS - Buffer. Like Corsair in FFXI. Probably this is the reason for Yoshi-P avoided make an Assassin class with the launch the game.

Another jobs i could love in this game are. Dark Knight, Samurai, Blue mage and Red mage.

AND.........

WARRIOR OR MARAUDER IN DPS STANCE, ALLOWING THEY SEEK AS DPS ROLE. Like Warrior in TERA.

I agree. On a separate note, it'd be awesome if Dark Knight was a hp-drain-based light-mitigation off-tank role. Perhaps geomancer could be a mitigation-based mage tank with earth spells!

Dancer as an agility tank would also be awsum

Problem with that concept is that Dark Knight is originally a DD type Job with tank like stats.

Dark Knight was originally designed to perform DD as a character and focused more on using its own HP to power his Damage skills. The only reason why Dark knight had such High Defense and HP was to prevent the Dark Knight from killing himself due to the amount of HP he would constantly drain when the Dark knight goes all out DD on a enemy. Not very good Job to have as a tank (if yoshi-p follows this concept) since Dark Knight specialize in DD by sacrificing his HP.
