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

I believe it was.
"Dark Knights are so awesome, So are gunblade users like Sephir. Oh man what if they combine them? Oh Clearly Yoshida is thinking the same."

I thought the gun class would be Blue Mage until I realized everything that fit the pattern:
-Gun class
-Not expected
-Already established in plot
-Will probably merge together with a Dark Knight job stemming from Nero and his Crystal Tower exploits (Nero = Black, and he's trying to harness the power of the darkness, but he doesn't seem entirely evil, and CT3 will probably be us saving him, and he has a gunblade.)
-Nero would be the job master probably

Clearly, we can surmise how much of a value you hold on actual real information, and how much bias you use in your arguments.


No. He did not state it wouldn't be Musketeer (afaik). He stated it would be something we likely didn't expect, and that would involve Musketeer. As far as Job vs. Class, most questions about such things are asked in a way such as "Can we expect some kind of job to behave like the Musketeer from 1.0?". If you take this and gather the rest of what he says from his other Live Letters, he doesn't rely on specifics to trick the players. For example Rogue is essentially what players would expect as a thief class (without stealing), yet it is simply named "Rogue". He did this to support the in-game lore and not as a trick to the players, and clearly emphasized these points whenever addressing the topic.

A Musketeer as one of the next Jobs isn't something that's at a 0% chance, but I'd say it's pretty low. The idea of a dual wielding pistol class raises the odds a little bit, deviating from the expected, and there's an existing character with dual pistols (Merlwyb), which is a valid point, but that's where the excitement ends and there isn't anything else to back it up.

1.0 is over with. Musketeer isn't around, and Arcanist is.
