Musketeer in Through the Maelstrom Patch or Huge Tease?

[Gilraen]

A.) That's a pistol, not a musket, and she's used (well, waved it around anyway) it in previous CSs if you'll remember.
B.) Merlwyb is the leader of "The Maelstrom", why would she not be featured in a patch with a similar name, and in continuing story missions that likely have something to do with it?

In a 1.0 cutscene she uses two pistols, fighting like a gun-ninja. Trust me, all she has to do is wave it around and men fall in line. They know full well what happens when it's not just waving around.

Ideally at Highbridge. "Battle at the Big Bridge" and all. This seemed to have been somewhat alluded to at the end of the 2.1 Hildibrand quest.

That screenshot clearly isn't Highbridge though. Not really sure where that could possibly be, the only other notable bridge in Eorzea (other than the one leading to Ishgard) that I can think of is Griffin Crossing, not sure if the architecture matches or not though. I think I'll be pretty disappointed if Griffin Crossing is a Trial location and not... You know... The path leading to the other half of Coerthas... Guess there would still be that path north of Natalan though...

I hope it is on the Ishgard bridge. No other bridge is bigger.

I'm really hoping, with all of my heart, that we get MSK in this patch.


I'm just not holding my breath.

They've made us wait more than three years now. I can see them making us wait another 3 no problem. With the mention of this character from Othard, I'm expecting we'll get another class and job before we get MSK. Again.

Really getting old.

LMAO... If so.. check out this picture...



This was way back in 1.0... where we have a CS holding a gun...
We have been teased for so many YEARS

He has that gun cocked sideways #Swag

Why has no one mentioned the green chicken in this screenshot?

Beastmaster confirmed!

Rune Knights hail from Dorma and they use Greatswords, so..... New Tank Confirmed!

Dorma was also home to Samurai, Ninja, Blue Mages, Magitek Knights and Mimics who always cover their faces and have 1 "horn" on the left side of their head...hmmm...

Although it would make sense to bring in musketeer with 2.2, given that the patch centres around Limsa Lominsa where the Muskateer guild is, i just think it's too early for a new class and I don't see it happening.

A new class, especially Muskateer, is a major card for SE to play and they wouldn't just waste it on a patch this early. It'll be used as a selling point for the expansion, or if things get desperate and the game needs a breath of life. Despite what some would have you believe on here, we're nowhere near that stage yet.

FFXIV: September 2010. (Both Arcanist and Musketeer existed in 1.0 as NPC only classes)
FFXIV with Job Classes: 2012.
FFXIV ARR: 2013.

It's far from being "too early" lol.

There are also many enemy npcs named "x Gunner" that dont use guns. This, to me, states that MSK is more than ready for the game, and at the last minute was decided not to put it in.
