SE, stop teasing us with THF/NIN/ASN

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.
