Completly New Classes, Something new

[Exstal]

It a lil disappointing that no one wants anything new, just recycled stuff with new wrapper.

Oh well...

Fanservice first, innovation second.

Fanservice first, innovation second.

Most folks come here to play Final Fantasy, not a brand new IP. Innovation is nice, but there are standards it needs to uphold to continue being a Final Fantasy game. Using the classic Jobs is one of those standards. And it's not like there are only, like, ten of them about. There are a ton.

You want to hear some of the cool jobs that already exist? Let's walk you through a handful of them right now. And these are just a selection from Final Fantasy V. There are more in Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy XI, and Final Fantasy Dimensions.

Blue Mage -> Can learn abilities from enemies directly and use them against foes. In some iterations, they are also well-versed in their use of Libra to determine weaknesses and even exploit them.

Mystic Knight -> Casts magic onto their own weapons, enchanting them as they take down foes. In some iterations, they can also cause all enemy magic to be redirected towards them like a lightning rod, then absorb that magic to restore MP.

Mime -> The Copycat Job. Has the capability, technically, to use any and every ability in the game, but at the cost of having to copy it from someone else.

Geomancer -> Spellcasters whose abilities cause the very terrain to attack enemies. In some iterations, they can even change the terrain entirely to cast new spells.

Dancer -> An underrated Job, the Dancer (who is, in essence, the Melee analog to Bard) is able to channel magic through the power of dance. Their signature move, Sword Dance, can potentially be one of the most powerful attacks in any game it's featured in, but its magic can also cause confusion in enemies, drain HP/MP from foes, or a variety of other effects.

Chemist / Cannoneer -> Two different, yet similarly acting jobs. The Chemist is the support/healer analog of this duo, able to use items for double their normal efficiency and to mix items together to create powerful effects. Cannoneer, on the other hand, is the debilitating damager analog. Mixing items with "shot", they can inflict serious amounts of damage to various enemies depending on the variety of "shot" used.

Oracle -> A spellcasting class that foretells great fortune or misfortune, the Oracle has some of the most powerful spell effects in the game at a very very low cost. The drawback is that each of these spells are tied to a countdown timer. Once the timer reaches zero, the ability activates. Doom is a very popular Oracle ability, but also included are spells like Divine Judgement, which inflict massive Holy damage on all enemies and heal all allies simultaneously.

The point I'm trying to make is that, while innovation is a fine thing to strive for in most cases, in an MMO that makes a conscious effort to be a tribute to the legacy of an entire franchise, it is often best to take full advantage of that legacy before implementing too many unnecessarily new ideas.

I don't disagree, I was just letting the guy I was replying to know why things are going the way they are. It's logical to have jobs that most Final Fantasy fans have come to love before adding jobs that have not been seen before in the franchise.
