Lightning Returns gives hints to FFXIV: ARR Jobs coming? (Maybe?!)

[KaiKatzchen]

I think people say far fetched because one is an offline game nowhere near in the same category and not even truly a 'job' system - Most of XI's devs are on XIV as well, so looking at XI's jobs would be a much bigger hint than LR.

Very true, heehee! And if you think about it, Thief, Blue Mage and Red Mage were all Jobs in FFXI~! So if we look closer at the jobs in FFXI, then it still a possibility they will show up, because they were there as well~!

This is about as far fetched as the people who try and make connections between Valve announcements and HL3.

Lol plz don't bring up HL3 :P

[Naberrie]

Those are all jobs that have existed within FF for years. They're FF staples. Their inclusion in FFXIII-3 isn't indicative that those jobs are coming to XIV. It's indicative that XIII-3 is an FF game.

I don't see how it is far fetched

SE openly admitted that people working on 14 and 13 were talking and giving one others stuff for the others game
Both games happen to use the exact same 'Soul' names for the exact same jobs in both games
13 already has stuff from 14 in the game, and 14 has items from 13.

Regardless, it is an interesting theory and I don't think it's that far fetched, knowing the people from each game talked and collaborated. And this thread isn't about it being true, it's about the idea that the jobs in 13 and 14 match up. Have some fun with it, lol~!

The job named and the soul names are the same. So what? The job names have been the same if most ff games, and yet it doesn't mean anything more than it being a series thing. I think people arereading far too into it. Obviously those are potential jobs we would get because this is a Ff game.

[KaiKatzchen]

Gah I give up! lol

Yes the outfits are different looking in FFXIV vs LR!
Yes it's traditional jobs of FF so OF COURSE they are going to be in other FF games!

The over all point is FFXIV and LR: XIII are using the same exact naming system for the souls in both games. Exactly the same. 100% exactly the same!

It's interesting, it's funny, and seeing that we know the two groups were talking to other another, it's intriguing! Blah, why can't there be some fun without dissecting it and making it so tedious!

Fine, fine, don't have fun with the info, heehee~! I'll go talk with people who are having fun with it over on my other chat system.

at the end of the day, how different looking can you make a core FF job? When one thinks about a red mage, a pointy hat immediately comes to mind. maybe a cape. whatever they decide, I guarantee it's going to be some flavor of that. As for the non-core jobs, I guess it depends on what it the job is.

I don't care much for the Red or Blue Mages, but there is a distinct lack of a scouting role. I wouldn't be surprised if we see any new classes/jobs that we get something akin to Thief first.

If they by pass thief and red mage and don't implement them for years to come, I will be one happy lala. Unless they are a completely new concept in terms of play style and don't encroach on sch / mnk would they be worthwhile to add :/

@ OP I highly doubt FF13:LR has much of anything to do with up coming jobs we get.

[Vanguard319]

It's possible, I wouldn't dismiss the possibility outright.

It seems that Lightning Returns uses this same system for some of her Schemata

All that tells me is that the localization team liked the sound of "Soul Of..." and carried it over to that game. Besides, Lightning's RDM outfit looks pretty terrible.
