Yoshida mentioned something in his convo (after visting event room) ...

Red Mage probably will end up as mage DPS who can buffs the entire party with AOE enspells, and more enfeeble, thus fall in line to the Bard + Mech in party set up. Otherwise, if they put Red Mage as healer who can buff the party, it will be competing with AST, and you will have another uproars on healer forum. They could also take approach of FFXI Sch, and turning RDM who can select stance before joining the duty finder, either as healer, or DPS - but then we may have another revolt from those Arcanists....

If Doomtrain is happening, it could easily be part of Hildibrand season 2. Yoshida already confirmed that's in the works.

Who better to suplex a train than Godbert Manderville?

Please no he will ridicule it. I prefer a malevolent train which rides us into our doom and fight happens on that train on the move. I got bored of circular rooms with the boss in the middle. leviathan tried to bring a new mechanic in the environment and it was fun. For doom train I prefer a fight on the train as it moves. Nobody really knows how they will use Doomtrain in this game. Time will tell.

[Dererk]

He also says something about the new xpac being underwater, underground or on the moon. Fingers crossed for underwater!

I don't even know how they would do underwater content. Its my understanding that people actually hate it for a number of reasons from programming to gameplay.

any one ever play monster hunter tri on the 3ds? Underwater combat was annoying and other games too I'm sure.

IV never played the ff game where this was in I saw a video and I think it just would look really weired as a plane fight.

Instead maybe a dungeon where you have to clear each train car. And at the end maybe Bigs and Wedge can appear on a hand cart and you fight the engine on that.

This would be pretty neat just from a progression standpoint going through multiple platforms to get to the end.

Personally, I'd love to see a samurai or red Mage as a melee "support dps", but with different support skills than bards and mch. We don't need another TP/MP battery.

While I'd prefer Samurai as a dps, I'd take a tank as well.

Maybe they will do it like the one area in Aht Urghan that was in an underwater fortress

It worked in FFXI. You would be able to learn certain spells at certain levels. Your artifact job armor would help you learn spells. The enemy would have to cast the spell to learn it. If your magic skill was high, you could learn it. There was some RNG to the system in that game.

My fondest memories playing blue was having to ally with 12 other players to learn some skills from incredibly tough monsters.

keyword here is.... XI. XIV isn't XI. what worked in XI, doesn't necessarily work here.
BLU worked, cause all jobs had access to a lot more skills...here we don't.
BLU will be restricted to same amount of skills, as every other job (27)
i'm gonna assume that BLU will be DPS, so it will have various DPS skills, sort of like BRD (as in no particular combo) some self heal, like White Wind, and some utility skills/buffs.

Yoshi basically already said Blue mage was a no go right now but red mage was possible and that it won't be what people expect.

[Limecat]

I'd definitely would like to have Doomtrain operate like the Phantom Train. Dungeon on the inside, then outside fighting the engine.
