Let's talk about THAT cutscene from the main story (spoilers)

[Eekiki]

I could see Yoshi going for a Dark Knight (or whatever class is on WoW) but I'd like to be a pre-ninja from the get go... Well, either way is fine anyway =P

I see them adding scythes to the game as a THM weapon, then branching DRK off of that, giving THM a melee DPS job.

Yugiri might be hinting at the ninja, but then again, that could be like 1~1.5 years from now.. who knows. And didnt yoshi say that new classes are only on expansions and job could come in patches and he'd like to add all the classes that didnt make it to 1.0? I could be wrong and day dreaming tho =P

Yoshi already confirmed that Musketeer will be the first new class added to the game due to it being in the same boat as Arcanist in 1.0. But that doesn't mean it will be the only new class when it's added. He said this as part of his answer to the question of what new job he most wanted to add to the game. His answer was Red Mage, but he said a.) They need to figure out how they want to do it, and b.) They have to add Musketeer first because it was promised in 1.0.

I thought I saw some interview with Yoshi where he said they were basically done with the first expansion. So only they know what they're going to doooo~...

Thats not how they armoury system works though, weapon = class, you can't give a thm a new weapon because it would no longer be a thm.

Why not? Both THM and CNJ have staves and wands. GLAs have swords and daggers.

People have speculated that if Samurai is added, it'll branch off Lancer and great katanas will become a new weapon for LNC to equip. People have speculated that when the THF/NIN class is added they will take daggers away from GLA.

Point being, if SE says they're adding scythes to the game as a THM weapon, then scythes will be a THM weapon. That's how the armoury system works.
