2.3 speculation

[EdwinLi]

How dare you not remember that 2.3 will have Hildibrand Episode 3!

You need to be suplex by Godbert as punishment for forgetting this!

PS. You're confusing New Skills with New classes.

Yoshi-P said there will be no New Skills for current classes/jobs until the level cap is raised in 1st expansion because it would be unfair to give Summoner a new skill like summoning Levi-Egi while other class/jobs don't get anything new as well. He never said there will be no new class/jobs until level cap is raised. If a new class/job are released before 1st expansion it will just have the skills from level 1 to level 50 like all current class/jobs.

No, there is no confusion. He implied in one of the live letter that there won't be a level cap till the expansion and that new classes may not be introduced till the expansion. And this was after he said there was a possibility of a level cap increase before the expansion AND seeing a new class via patch before the expansion as well.

Your confusing what he said in the quote. He said "probably increase the level cap" when he introduce a new class which means he does not guarantee a new class will bring in a level cap raise. So it still stands that a new class can appear in both Major Update and Expansion.

GE- With ARR we’ll see Arcanist added with Summoner shortly after the game launches. Are there any other classes or jobs you’d like to see added? And will these be added in patches or expansions?

Yoshida- What I would like to see right?

First of all, we are planning a new race for an expansion pack. For the classes and jobs, we will introduce them through patches because all of the Legacy players have level 50 jobs anyway. When we introduce new classes and jobs we will probably increase the level cap at the same time.

About what I want to introduce- it’s more like what I think I have to introduce. Something related to guns because the (musketeer) guild in the game. Something related to that I think I have to introduce.

Also I do feel that scouting classes are lacking so I want to bring in Thief, Ninja and those that have to do with stealth. Also more casters like Blue Mage and Red Mage are something I would like to add.
