Artifact Armors!

[Ceons]

Except Musketeer is already a class, we just don't have it yet. Archer is bard, the picture pretty much confirms it.

We already have musketeers class (spelling).

I thought musketeer was going to be a class based on a skinny sword like rapier or a fence sword. Does it somewhere say it is going to be based on a gun?

Archer being bard is probably the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life, lol.

Sorry, but the gear did not derive from FFXI.

Actually, it did derive from FFXI as actual gear. The art style did not but it turned it into actual quested armor pieces to define the job's classic appearance.

Where would you ever get that idea from? Have you been in the Musketeer's Guild in Limsa? The symbol has guns, the walls are lined with guns, the Musketeer NPCs all have guns. There are guns everywhere.

Musket-eer

A Musket is a gun.

The look of each job is quite nice though some have left me wondering.

The musketeers' guild in Limsa has a flag with two guns, and is loaded with gun-swinging lads.

But didn't the three musketeers use swords... It's an innocent mistake.

Okay, it's still a pretty stupid mistake.

Ever played any other MMO? Bards use bows, that's as basic Minstrel-style weapon as there can be. Unless you shoot melodies out of your harp to deal damage, but that right there would be stupid.

It is a bit odd. Most jobs are taking the direction of evolving to be a better version of the class except with archer where if it is going to be bard it is completely the opposite direction. It would have been better suited to find a different job to suit archer.

I never looked at the musketeer guild symbol. x.x I guess that means we don't get corsair...

I had this long buried movie memory of musketeers where I vaguely recall them using skinny swords like rapier and fence.

Either way, I think bard seems to be a wrong job progression for the Archer class. But if we are getting it, then there is no changing it :P

Maybe this is just really hopeful thinking, but could the Black Mage and White Mage poses in the illustration be a preview of the new casting animations for THM/CON?

A friend and I thought the same thing. I remember they either said they were considering or working on implementing the ability for casters to cast with their weapons put away. Wouldn't be surprised if each mage job got their own special casting animation. In fact, we're supposed to get better auto-attack animations in 1.19, as well as a fix to the deal with drawing your weapon while running.
