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

I doubt it will be Red Mage. Red Mage will be Fencer, not Musketeer.

Unless they make this:

Maybe I have no sense of humor and/or are hurting in a lower portion of my body because that was a joke, just maybe, but I also have backed up my theory with more sound logic than your own.

Maybe you also practice something else called psychological devaluation.

I'll touch up on your rogue/ninja. My opinion of why the class is rogue? Serves as a perfect class to implement Thief later in the future if they decide too. just like how Archer would be perfect for Ranger. (Arcanist= SMN/SCH) Typically they are going to use Classic FF jobs for new jobs that come out it, was the trend in FFXI and it is the trend in FFXIV. However Corsair is a FFXI exclusive job, it appears in no other FF title. SO they may release an entirely new job. However I don't think they are going to butcher the Cecil Dark Knight model... Ever.

Except they've explicitly stated that Rogue is Thief, simply with a different name. There are multiple different sources that actually point to this as well. They also said they have no current plans on adding a job that will branch from an existing class.

They already did.

Sooo replacing the RDM pic on the OP now.

Giving them scythes didnt butcher the model also infact their best weapon forever was Ragnorok(great sword)

Gunblade would fit the Dark Knight model much better than a scythe does, but I suppose this is a matter of opinion, isn't it?

[Eggnook24]

Boomstick.

[Aliquis]

Dark Knight having a scythe like the grim reeper is soooo unfitting xD and Dark Knight having a future weapon is sooo relevant to a dark arts goth knight themed class. okay gotcha.

Garlean Gun class? sure...

It being FFXIVs DRK? not a chance...

[Freyt]

You mean the future weapons that already exist within the realm of Eorzea?
The future weapon that a character seeking the power of darkness wields?
The scythe that is actually a farmers tool and is in game already for Botanists?

It's hardly future technology. It's grabbing a sword and slapping a gunpowder device onto it. It isn't even conceivable in any sort of scientific sense, which is why it's fantasy.


There's even already a basis for what sort of skills the player could have with a gunblade. Given Irvine's various bullets in FF8 and the Magic Junction system, it isn't inconceivable for the Dark Knight to be some sort of debilitating Job, which is what it was in XI wasn't it? (I haven't played XI so I am not laying that out as solid info).

[Aliquis]

It doesnt matter if Eorzea has future weapons. Just listen to yourself lol. The only classic job on 14 whos weapon is not their classic weapon is BRD and there is historical reasoning as to why Bard uses a bow in this game. It has to do with the origins of Bards in history. Summoner also doesnt use a classic weapon but its really irrelevant they just held place holder staves. SE will stick to the style of Dark Knight as it is a Dark Knight and it is not a future weapon wielding job. This would be like if the Garleans had light sabers and so Paladins had them... Ridiculous fantasy, not final fantasy.

Honestly I hope everything to do with Garleans disappears by 3.0 because there was enough Star Wars Empire rip off in FF12 (Arcadian Empire) and its ridiculous they wash/repeated it for 14.
