RDM? (Artbook image)

[Yamimarik]

Not to deviate off topic too much, but can these be purchased anywhere online as of yet? If so, how and where? I appreciate any info. anyone gives on this tyvm.

OT: I would love if RDM came to Eorzea. Rapiers are just their forte, and would fit quite well with their type of aesthetic at least.

The art book is only available at the fanfests for now..I imagine they will put it on their store after the JP one? But who knows

What if they are ALL new jobs?
Mind = blown
Dark knight, ninja, samurai, viking, red mage, ranger, dancer.... *shrugs*

i'd wish! they did say "Multiple new jobs"!

I really hope it's Red Mage. *fingers crossed* it's the only job I want to play and I feel incomplete w/o it in game

If they add it, I sure hope it's not a healer.

RDM is a job of freedom. Not bound by the defining roles of the white mage, black mage, or warrior (offensive melee), it has the freedom to do all three. Of the roles we have, DPS is the one that offers the most freedom. Healer is a pretty restrictive role that comes with the expectation that you will heal before anything else. Let RDM have its freedom!

Had an instant flashback of the berserker from 8-bit theater when I saw this lol.... Give it a monocle and I'd be game.

Yes but they are introducing too many dps classes if they don't go this route. Too many dps = job inbalance...unless they introduce something like chemist, RDM is the only other option at this point, and makes the most sense considering all the viable jobs throughout FF history. It's going to be bad enough with the launch of 2.4 and the 5 brillion ninjas that are gonna be running around.

Also FF14 operates on a WoW system, with the Dev team confirming there is no intent of adding a pure support class, or a freedom job as you call. Every job they will introduce will have a certain role, either DPS/Healer/Tank. I'm also hoping they make DRK a tank, cuz we also need a new tank in this game.

I think the fact we have a dps job that can lower its dps output to offer support disagrees with this. Yes, BRD is expected to dps, but that's not its only role. It's also a support job, as situational as its support may be.
