I'm not saying the new gun class is going to be... but its going to be...

Except if it isn't using magic with the sword it ain't a RDM.
Actually no. Cutlass is more in line with the cavalry saber, except the saber is longer while the cutlass is wider and shorter. Rapiers are used as thrusting weapons while the cutlass and saber are made for cutting. That's two entirely different fighting styles.

My money is still on the gunblade class being our "gun class that we didn't expect". Probably a healer based on how Cid acted in combat.

Thank you, I am not the only one that didn't over look the fact that Cid is basically a Chemist. Ranged tanks almost never work well, and I doubt it is going to be a DD since we are all ready saturated with them. The gun class will be a Chemist of sorts using 'Potions' like Aqua Vitae and Fortis for heals/buffs/debuff. I say 'Potions' because these will not be consumables.

He said it'll be something people won't expect meaning:

1. Goes back to him not playing XI and he ends up making Corsair again, because that's something no one would have expected when you mention "Gunner", because how many MMOs have a Gunner that's also an amazing support role?
2. He stated it'll be a Magic user, so not chemist, but will be a "mage".

It'd be easier if he just...told people about it. Hell we were getting info on Blue Mage and Corsair up to a year prior to it's release when they were showcasing ToAU expansion for XI, even if some of the main stuff they showed off we never got for Blue Mage, e.g Spider Web.

Where did he mention it will be a magic-user? Serious question, not being a rear end in a top hat. I never saw that mentioned in anything I looked over.
