@EdwinLi: the stats of our class are irevellant in face of the role they are filling. Bard maybe the only class using Dex stuff, but at the same time it's still a ranged class. indeed it's a dps/support, but still a ranged class, the stats have no relatition with this... people look for find a way to justify the add of a class (dps/tank/heal) based on detail like this... but Yoshida have already said that for a class to be added it need to fill a role a need for the group.

@XanderOlivieri: the 2.2 is called maelstrom...because we will fight leviathan... and leviathan element is the water.

for the Evasion tank, if he can mitigate all the damage... it become overpowered... and some attack can't be evaded... an evade tank will have less defense the other... if he can't evade... he die.
i prefer see a true magical tank.

for the samurai, like i did say it will not be different of the warrior. it will bring nothing new to the tanking and magical attack can't be parry... making it hard for get a parry tank in the game.

anyway, if, and i say if, they add a tank... i think we need to look in direction of the Lancer, maybe the templar.

I'm only say what I think is most likely possible by just what we already have in the game now.

As of now no one knowns what that 1 new class will be. It can be a Physical Melee, Physical Range, Magic Melee, Tank, Healer, Magic Range or two of these combined due to the class may have 2 Jobs on release.

As of now the game points more towards musketeer class when looking at all the current content they have placed in the game...

Musketeer guild is already set in Lisma since 1.0 but any other guild class have not been set up.

Musketeer NPCs and Gunblade NPCs are already in the game and Major and minor characters in the game are Musketeer class or Gunblade class.

Stat wise we need a 2nd DEX class/Job

Role wise we need more Tanks and Healers since we have 4 DD already

Damage Distance wise between Longe Range and Close range we need more Close Range Classes

Damage type wise we need 1 new Physical Damage Range Class or a Magic Damage Melee class.

Lore wise Musketeer and Gunblade class has been set into the game but Gunblade class we won't see until we can enter Garlean Empire due to the Guild being located there so it leaves only Musketeer guild being the two known Guilds that can be accessed.

DoW and DoM wise we need a new Mage class to balance the imbalance we have between the 5 DoW classes and 3 DoM classes.

Starting Class per City Wise we need another class in Lisma to balance the 3 starting classes per city in this game but this could be anything since there are some parts of Lisma still blocked off.

There is more than just 1 simple reason why each class has the possibility to be in the game but most of the reason for now stack towards musketeer so far. However, what will be released still remains unknown.

Any words said now by us members of the player base is only what we think is possible. It is not a certainty nor a 100% accurate guess. All this now is what we think.




Yes if Yoshi-P release Musketeer people who scream bloody murder because now we have 4 range distance classes and 2 melee DD classes.

Yes if Musketeer is not released people who have been waiting for this class since 1.0 will be mad.

Yes people who want a 3rd Melee DD class will be happy if they get Thief or a Red Mage class

Yes People will be mad if a 3rd melee DD class is not released.

Yes people who want another Mage class for DoM will be happy with a new Mage class released or mad if not released.

Yes people who wanted to play as scout will be mad if they don't see scout being released.

Yes people who want a Melee Mage for Red Mage will be mad if they don't see it being released

In the end there will always be people happy and mad about what new class or classes are released.
