What jobs would you like to see? Both battle and crafting/gathering

Green Mage is already in the game in the form of an Arcanists.

Yeah pretty much. And Time Mage is Astrologian. So we can cross out those two. Thief will never happen either as Mug is already a rogue skill.

chemist! I wanna toss potions at peoples faces. !

Unlikely to happen. Chemist has only one recognisable ability, which is not enough for a rotation. Plus you'll be required to use up your allagan coins, crafting materials and glamour sets for damage. This is the same problem why rogue didn't get throw.

Not gil, but real ones cultivating fields and rearing livestock.

Killing sheep and snurbles is morally ambiguous. I opt for shearing them instead!

It's a neat idea but it wouldn't work unless you have a house. I mean you need a farm to be a farmer.

Puppetmaster (preferably with a Mammet because as much as I loved my Automaton in XI I love the little buggers on XIV more), Dancer, and Blue Mage would be very welcome in my book. Maybe something like a Shepherd for gathering so we could get skins and wool and the like without having to go out and maim cute little sheep.

Would it be different enough from egis, carbuncle, fairies and machinist turrets?

I can see a Red Mage and Blue Mage being added as a melee spell blade caster and a ranged caster.

Wow what a negative post, you have to understand that most parts of a game are pure aesthetics, otherwise we would still be playing text games, it doesn't matter if a job feels similar to another, they can always change the mechanic of a job, the only reason to implement something is to please the customers, most ftp MMOs have 1 class per role, i'm sure you can imagine how well they are doing

Also, i want RDM and BLU to be hybrid role, anything else would be like a downed version of them, they can balance an hybrid role np.

Here's how I would imagine Chemist as a healer:


Relic: Philosopher's Stone

Heal stance: Amalgamate: You only require 1 of the necessary item for it will duplicate it and enhance its effect based on your mnd stat

Heals: Potion (cure 1), Hi-Potion (dot heal), X Potion (cure 2), Mega Potion (Cure 3), Elixir (restores 50% hp/mp for 1 player long cd), Hi-Elixir (100% hp/mp cure for 1 player, very long cd)
*Also use the Ether variants i.e Ether, Hi-Ether, X Ether, Mega Ether with similar effects but is off cd with each getting progressively longer i.e. 30, 60, 90, 180.

Raise: Phoenix Down (30 seconds cd but instant cast)

Support: Antidote, Cactuar Needle, all other previous FF items that cure specific ailments, etc

Chemist moves:
Duplicate: Resets timer for one skill allowing for skill to be used again (180 secs)
Mischief: Dps stance. Lowers effect of healing potions used and enhances Throw skills.
Throw skills: Uses PvP potions to inflict harm on enemies
Lead Potion: Prevents knock back for 1 player including yourself.
Throw Stone: Throw stone, blind and heavy effect
Grenade: Stronger version of Throw stone, no effect
Scent Bomb: Causes enemies to run to a targeted spot and stay there until attacked or timer runs out.

I would see Chemist as an aggressive healer with tons of support options and would most likely be a staple in Caster heavy parties. Focuses on raw heals rather than barriers or mitigation. It would be the only class to have a "Satchel" in the Inventory which allows players to put the required potions needed for battle and cure mp for players without suffering the long cd timer for using items. Uses tp for most of it skills with mp only being used for self buffs like Duplicate. The Relic is the Philosophers Stone, which given its lore, suits well with the Chemist and its Amalgamate and Duplicate traits.

This is all my opinion so take or leave it.

Id like to see the blue mage as a job for lancer, the story fits really well in my head haha, like the focus on learning your enemies tactics to help uncover the ancient art of blue magic (or somthing like that).

And were getting the dark knight so how about the onion knight? could be an extra job for the gladiator class with a rediculas amount of cross class abilities, and just think of how good the relic armor would look =0.

Also about a gunblade job, i imagine like, learning garlean skills from an old friend of cid (who may or may not be called Seifer). Not sure what the job should be called or what class it should go with (maybe a shieldless dps gladiator job?) but itd be based on the idea of if the garlean empire had its own version of SeeD mercinaries =P.

I really wanna see Mystic Knight as a sword DPS

[Barimu]

Only thing I wanna see is Blue Mage and maybe a true summoner not a demonology/affliction warlock clone.

A true summoner would essentially be a black or white mage with the abilitiy to summon something for 1 attack.

As it was in previous FF incarnations.

11 allowed them to buff/debuff/nuke through their summons every minute they could buff/debuff and attack, but they won't do anything that doesn't clone WoW in this game.

FFXI summoner was also boring because it did almost all of the work while you sat back on your butt doing nothing.

That version of summoner was not very iconic, either.
