I can't be the only one excited for machinist?!

[416to305]

I'm totally excited for it but not sure if I'll get to playing it for awhile. I was playing Bard originally, and was saying to my friend I wish there was a class with gunblades like in FF8 and what not, and that's when he told me about the expansion as I hadn't seen it yet. So was insane excited about this. Then I tried healing and am addicted, haven't even touched my Bard since switching to WHM a couple months ago. So now I'm more excited to try AST but I definitely will be giving this new class a try as well. I like that it's not the same old fantasy type stuff, I mean did you forget about Praetorium and the other end game instances with the Empire where it's all machines and completely non medieval? It's not like this is suddenly going to throw things off, as the game already has tons of modern machines in it.

The Final Fantasy series as a whole is mostly a blend of "medieval fantasy" that incorporates some form of machinery or technology. Magitek and other forms of mechanics are very present in FFXIV, so Machinist is hardly un-characteristic. I think it fits right in. The complaints are just player preference of what they think fits "fantasy" rather than what actually suits a Final Fantasy title.
