Who actually got conj , so that hey could be a dmg mage ?

[Kinseykinz]

Where does it say whm and blm are both coming in the first batch of jobs? The translation people have been going off for sometime now has said no such thing only that whm, blm, drg etc are planned and decided. The discussion for the most part has been purely fueled by the 1 class 1 job statement and both thaumaturge/conjurer players who are posting not wanting their class they leveled to be made into the healer.

Look, I'd be most happy if CNJ was able to unlock both classes...considering that's why I wanted to be a CNJ in the first place...and this discussion on 'is the article correct yes/no' has happened already within this thread and others like it. While it could be wrong or could have been an 'idea back then that SE now re-thought' (and I'd prefer this by the way), everything else from the same translation has either happened/is scheduled to happen.

In my perfect FFXIV job unlocking world CNJ= BLM/WHM and THM=RDM or something like it. I'd love this... I just also don't see it happening (really, unlocking 1 Job per Class is more than enough to keep SE busy right now...since it's not just a title, but requires storyline, gears, spells,abilities, etc...and all that takes time to create) I'd even prefer if they go the one class/job rank they 'hold' BLM currently... give CNJ the WHM but give THM the RDM...I know we'd still be disappointed no nuker specific job BUT BLM could be released in the second wave of Job classes, and probably be uber sexy if it was held a bit longer.

Ereskigal and Alaltus are both appearently speaking out of complete ignorance. Pay no mind to what they say.

"Currently the initial "Job" names that finalized are: Paladin, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Dragon Knight, Bard.
** Maybe the axe and bow class are just not finalized, don't be afraid!
** There is no any evidence that bow class will get a job as Bard."

And there is the link to it.

Good job you 2 on the news flash update of how it was never said. Two real credible braniacs they are.

never once they said in that will be in first set of jobs, just that they know for a sure fact 100% that these jobs will be introduce into the game at some point when that will be they didn't say.

SE, as in Dev posts and Yoshi-P announcements, have yet to put out anything. This makes the information less than readily available. The information has been put out in other mediums such the magazine articles and interviews. If you didn't know, unless you specificity researched for it or ran across it in one of the thread on lodestone, you probably wouldn't of ran across this information. Some of the other posters, on this forum, assume you have this information and can be 'over critical' if you don't know it.

I think you proved my point for me coglin with that post. I posted the translation myself by reinhart earlier in this thread, i know what it says and even with your version of the translation it does not confirm your or anyone's assumptions about both mages coming in the first round. By no means am i saying they won't but theres nothing stating that they will either. Just because SE has said these jobs have been decided on doesnt mean they are the first round of jobs heck they didnt even include jobs for all classes so i'm doubtful that was their intent. I'm even beginning to doubt Dragoon is coming in the first round with the Dark knight looking character on the front cover of famitsu magazine and even though i would love for it to be dragoon i cant deny its very dark knightish. Not to mention that the reps stated the bow transforms so theres nothing to stop them from doing transforming spears.

That being said Alaltas, It has been specifically stated in other articles and other post. Bayohne for example had posted clearificarion on this matter. The issue is, that posters like you want to sit here and claim information that IS known to exist, does not. Just because you have no knowledge of a fact does not mean it does not exist.

You are wrong. Thats a fact. What you are claiming has not been said, has in fact been said more then once. You may invest some time to do a little research to catch up on the facts of the situation.

Klive seems to upport making false claims such as yourself, because perhaps he feels its fine to post out of ignorance and speak with half the facts. He is most likely guilty of that on multiple occasions, hence his position. That does not make me or anyone else "over criticle" of the situation. I feel it is just the right amount of criticism.

when inviting a CON to a group, the expectation is that the CON will be healing. Whether or not you all agree, that is the reality of the situation. Now, I don't mind healing since it gets me a group pretty fast, however I did sign up for a BLM like class. In addition, the CON damage is extremely sub-par in comparison to nearly every other damage class. Frequently, mobs are dead before we are able to get off a couple casts. And the casts that do land do fairly weak damage in comparison to the damage output of arc, mrd, thm, etc. While no one is putting a gun to our heads insisting that we heal, it is clearly the best and most efficient usage of our class in a group setting. Ideally, we should not be taking up a damage spot in a group. Lastly, deeply rooted in FF tradition, the elemental spells and Ancient Magics are a defining characteristic of the BLM-like class. CON has a major identity crisis - we are the class with ancient magic that heals. Developers are not gods, contrary to what some of you may think, they are just ordinary people who also make mistakes occasionally. This class is one of those mistakes. Let us see if it can be fixed...

I went through all of Bayohne's dev posts and this is the only post that i could find that has any relation to this discussion and the interview.

Spoke to the dev. team to try and wrangle some more details regarding the upcoming job system. The current thinking is to have one job for one class. So for example, if you are a gladiator, the job you could unlock would be paladin, etc. Right now, we can't give any further details about the possibility of having multiple jobs per class.

To try and stave off the coming flood of "So if gladiator becomes paladin, then what will xyz class unlock?" You'll have to stay tuned for more details in the future!

I actually remember reading this post and if this is the right post all i can imagine you could be suggesting is that by bayohne saying "paladin, etc" he was confirming the other jobs that have been mentioned in the interview were coming in the first round. That seems open to interpretation though. If you can point out an article/interview or a dev/rep post i've missed that confirms in words that white mage and black mage are coming in the first round i'll be happy to read/find it.

No disrespect but this might hurt some people. I wanted THM to WHM due to lore, but now that I've read enough info I believe WHM will go to CONJ and BLM will go to THM (they don't care about lore and they don't care about mages time and time again) The Jobs on the connect magazine were confirmed to be the job designs they have. I just don't think they spend time coming up with blm and whm gear concepts now, if they weren't going to be one of the original jobs released in 1.20. Yoshi already said in an interview rdm would be an advanced job, meaning maybe thm+conj=rdm, so we can throw that out as happening in the near future. So basically, to me, people who think blm/whm will both come to conj in 1.21, that just sounds really delusional. A lack of wanting to just say ok "looks like I lost conj will get whm and thm will get blm" dude conj lost as much as thm, I was pissed at first too, but damn all signs lead to this, we might as well adapt to an attitude of pessimistic defeat, but if it doesn't happen that way then we can be surprised, but if it happens the other way we'll already be used to the sadness. No "i told you so" to dish out in the first version but at least you can be pleasantly shocked.

Again this is just my opinion, I understand some people are more hardheaded then others, and feel they have some effect on things of this nature.

[Alaltus]

#XIVLive Q: Could you tell us all of the jobs that are going to be released in 1.21?

A: There is one job that has yet to be announced... What we have announced so far is paladin, white mage, black mage, dragoon, monk, and bard. Last, here is a warrior image!

There that confirms all jobs mentioned in the interview are coming in the first round. A mysterious 8th job though.
