SE, stop teasing us with THF/NIN/ASN

[Tule]

ASN? Teasing us with Asians?

Assassin XD

SIN would be kinda odd since the abbreviations usually incorporate the first letter and then two other key letters to help differentiate it from others. Though Assassin and Ninja are a little too similar as All Ninjas are trained to be assassins by nature. Their fighting styles would also be identical with shadowy stealth attacks and possible status En like spells/abilities (something similar to Bravery Default's Sword Magic but with status and DoT like effects.)

Could always go trick management though, Smoke Bomb evasive dodge or poison bomb DoT Poison damage.

All would be extending of the "THF" class though.

They also tease us with Beastmaster in Brayflox HM. That unusual Gobbie among the trash mobs before the final boss there...

Interesting stretch...but now that it was mentioned...I hate that Gobbie...All 4 of us had never ran that dungeon and couldn't figure out where the hell those Gobbie Pelicans were coming from XD

Found the little buggar while he had like three of them left with him as well as 2 other gobbies. >=O

That dungeon was so much fun though. 10/10 recommend friend XD

If you look at the retainer venture threads on various forums you'll see they already gave us thief. Someone in my FC had their retainer "find" a manor couch today.

Aint getting new races before the expansion so no way its soon.

You know, not saying whether I agree with the OP or not but how sad it is that these forums give more likes to someone talking about races when the thread is about class/jobs? He typed one line of text. One line. How do you confuse that? lol

[Arkghyom]

I can't handle it anymore!

I meant it as they'll come out at the same time the way smn/sch did, rather than having to wait for the alts like all other classes are

I figured we'd get our 2nd jobs for other classes first, but with all the hints it seems this might come earlier.

Oh ya that part....

Ya most likely the new classes will be given their 2 Jobs a head of the current classes. However, if lucky we may see some of the current classes get their 2nd Jobs as well when new classes are released since they may have all their corss-class and lvl 15 requirements in the game by then such as Archer's 2nd Job may need Musketeer class before it can be added into the game.

At the same time, there isn't any reason why a new Class can't be incorporated with just one job. If we get Thief and Ninja before Dark Knight or Red Mage as existing jobs for other classes, Thief could still just have Ninja until a much later point. They don't have to add more classes to add jobs to existing classes either. Dark Knight can be Gladiator/Arcanist with changes to Aetherflow and GLD skills to do more DPS and allow DRK draining abilities. Some jobs changed their secondary class from Beta testing to release. Some places had incorrect information because of this. RDM can stem as a healer from THM using CJN as the second or be a DPS role from CJN with THM as the secondary if they wanted.

Its not so much a matter of, we don't have anything good enough yet, as it is lets wait and see how testing turns out in terms of balance with current roles. Tank -> DPS, Healer -> DPS, Healer -> Tank and DPS -> Tank.

New classes are a little more lenient with adding as they don't have to be suffocated with pre-class lore watering it down and have more maneuverability while being developed. Then you just tack on a complementing job~

Arcanist got 2 jobs at the start to test the hybrid waters. Arcanist is a hybrid. If you know what you are doing you can properly tank for short bursts of time, be an effective healer, or give out ample amounts of DPS. While we're capable of doing all three, we're easily outclassed by any of the others with specific fields, THM, CJN, GLD.

Teasing the new race like that is okay, imho.

Yet teasing the new classes/jobs like they have? No please that's just wrong.

Personally they should tell us what job/classes we are getting but tease the abilities as to get us hyped for them. Which is the portion they got right.

They did it since 2010 with Musketeer and Arcanist. And not only gave SE Merlwyb the Musketeer class, they gave also Urianger the Arcanist class. Only to tease us.
At least, we have Arcanist now since last year
