Gunner Image Hint at PT Role

[Sax]

So Merlwyb has guns and may be a musketeer. Why does that automatically mean that which ever class comes next that uses a gun also has to be a musketeer? IF it is a healer, then it makes for something different supplementing heals with physical attacks instead of magical ones - sort of like Rosa in FF4 with her heals and bow.

I don't get why everyone is assuming that you will heal people by shooting them lol.

It would be foolish to ignore that rapier...

The connection between the rapier and musketeer comes from a general misconception that was not helped by Alexander Dumas' book. Musketeers were the predecessor to the modern rifleman. Yes, they had a sidearm in the way of a sword, knife, or axe before bayonettes were developed and became standard attachments for rifles.

As a Note, the Story NPC's most generally represent BASE CLASSES (e.g. Merlwyb - Musketeer, Raubahn - Gladiator, Thancred - Rogue).

Merlwyb is a Musketeer, this speaks nothing of what Job Musketeers develop into.

There is no clue as to the Musketeer's Job-Branch in her or in Limsa's Musketeer's Guild.

I think it'll be a DPS with a third job as a healer revealed in Japan as well as a surprise. 1 tank, 1 heal, 1 dps for new jobs in the expansion makes sense to me

My wife hopes its Redmage.

Merlwyb - Musketeer
Kan-E-Senna - Conjurer
Raubahn - Gladiator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUN3OIfoL9M

weapon type = class

Thancred is a Bard and he uses daggers.

[Mugiawara]

Thancred is a Bard and he uses daggers.

But treated as a Paladin lol, then acts like a Rogue in the Levi quest.
He's an ONION KNIGHT!!!1

[Duelle]

Thancred is a Bard and he uses daggers.

Should be noted that Thancred calls himself a bard but doesn't do much but talk too much (Papashan even said Thancred seems to like the sound of his own voice a little too much), fights like a GLA and can switch into Rogue mode.

[Riviere]

doesn't do much but talk too much

No argument there!

Calling it now:

DPS - Red Mage
Healer - Agent/Chemist
Tank - Dark Knight

Hopeful for an additional DPS-Gun Job but sadly doubting it...
