Healing Gunner Planned?

Honestly I don't like the agent name, and the lore seems kinda of dumb lol. Hopefully its chemist

Agent class seems bit odd if set within an MMO environment so doubt they will go that route unless drastically change it given how so female focused original agents skills were. But will wait and see, so far I am glad DRK is a tank and glad ninja is a DPS but I doubt next one will be agent if next one is healing class. Shooting people to heal them always seemed bit odd in general though I suppose it could shoot above peoples heads and bullet explodes releasing some sort of healing substance but shooting someone in the head or chest wouldn't make much sense as form of healing. I could be wrong and maybe is agent but I don't think will be combination of agent filling the role of group healer specifically in FF14.

Agents can also have lots of neat little gadgets that could... idk heal people... we have weaponized airships and magitek so why not? THe gun could just be for its dps abilities like sch has arcanist spells and whm has some nukes as well.

I didn't read the entire thread but to throw in my 2 cents, for what it's worth, I highly HIGHLY doubt that the gun wielding class (Musketeer?), will be a healer. I see the class as being more of a dps/support role like Corsair from Final Fantasy XI, or possibly like Brd with support abilities.

Or the shirt is a Hildibrand reference. He is the Agent of Inquiry afterall...

Agent? Really? A one shot job, on a spin-off and exclusive to a guest character that is not even popular? Not very iconic at all. This is game is pure fan service, we will see a lot of popular/requests jobs before we see a random obscure job like that one. Even SOLDIER has more chance of being a job then this.

We might as well have expected the Hero job on the Batman shirt in reference to DRK too... http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Hero_(Job))

No, look at the leader of the Maelstrom and Limsa Lominsa for a sneak peek at the Gunner class.

I think people are forgetting the fact that... yah know, magic exists in Final Fantasy games. If science-ish based series/games like SWTOR can get away with gun using healers, not to mention games like Borderlands, one would think that Final Fantasy could definitely do just fine making sense out of gun = heals. Don't forget that games like Persona 3 involve shooting yourself in the head to summon something for an action (which includes healing).



It's quite possible that guns could be used with magic to create magic circles that will either summon something to heal or directly heal.

Since NA revealed Ninja (dps), EU revealed Dark Knight (tank), maybe JP will reveal a healing class. So, the gunner class is a healing type. Of course, this is assuming they are just adding 3 new classes.

Pretty sure, Ninja will not count toward 3.0 jobs. so I expect another dps to be announced between now and 2.5 probably. Ninja is part of the 2.0 base class. Really NA FanF didn't reveal ninja as we already had the reveal for that since E3. Drk knight was revealed, and confirmed in EU, Gunner was hinted at again at EUFan and will be revealed at JPN Fan, hopefully they reveal the 3rd Job as well for the JPN Fan.

Imagine a chemist gameplay mechanic something like mudras where you have to mix different chemicals according to formulas that correspond to different types of potions which would then be followed up by a "Potion Throw" ability to be used on an ally. So many possible ways to allow them to support and buff a party.

Except Batman is known as The Dark Knight. Also Yoshi mentioned that he was a fan of Christopher Nolan's Batman (Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and The Dark Knight Rises) in particular. So, no. The Dark Knight was the only thing that made sense from Yoshi's Batman shirt. Likewise people are digging into everything Yoshi's given us on the next one also.

No, look at the leader of the Maelstrom and Limsa Lominsa for a sneak peek at the Gunner class.

Keep that in your own thread that you started, its a pretty loose confirmation if anything.
