What if we got advanced jobs in a new expansion?

I think the only chance of it happening would be if advanced jobs cannot enter Duty Finder content (unless undersize mode is used).

That way they could make super powerful and highly versatile advanced jobs just for fun, without spoiling normal job balance or breaking relevant content.

Blue Mage with a large pool of spells to pick from would be in this category. Only used in undersize duties and open world content like quests and hunts.

It could function like the crafter specialization where you can only have 3 advanced jobs unlocked.

You have fun ideas but this isn't one of them.

Let's hope Samurai comes in at 3.3 patch.
Like they did for Ninja.

That would be awesome, and let's make Samurai a healer. Lol

It won't. They've already stated we aren't getting any new jobs till the next expansion.

Paladin is Knight, at least for JP

Yes thats what I said. Knights being able to promote into Paladin. We had knight renamed so they shot that in the foot already

Yoshida has already said that there will be no advanced job. As a old Ragnarok player, I love the idea of advanced jobs, but I do dislike the whole you can only have 3 advanced jobs unlocked per character. What makes FFXIV great is that one character can play all the classes. Which is something that I enjoy alot in FFXIV. Advanced jobs is something I like to see, but there should not be a player can only play X amount of advanced jobs per character.

@OP,

Have you thought about the balancing of these classes? Will advanced jobs be better then the current jobs or just a mix of them? How do you suggest SE will balance them, so players dont kick a Black Mage out of the group, because he or she is not a Galaxy Mage? Right now when someone joins a group as a Archer, they will be kicked out of the group, because they are not a Bard. When advanced jobs will be released, will the same thing happen aswell? Bard will be kicked, because they are not a Ranger. Then there is the whole you can unlock only 3 advanced jobs per character. This means that aside from the 3 advanced jobs, all the other classes are useless and will be kicked, because the player did (could) not unlock the the advanced job. So in short, this suggestion will make only 3 advanced jobs viable and the others useless for group content, since you will probaly be kicked.

I like the suggestion, but the following has to happen:

- Advanced jobs should not replace the current ones, they should be a different branch. If a group needs dps, they will take a Ranger, but if they need support they take a Bard, Make advanced jobs be another side of the same coin.
- You can unlock them all, no limitation like with crafters.
- Every Job has to have an advanced job.

A Sage would be great, White Mage and Black Mage combined but without limitations to their skills or abilities!...

A Sage could use both Healer and Caster gear and be able to fulfill either role!...

If Advanced Jobs means combining current ones then I'd be glad to have them in-game!...

Its as if the game is not fun enough to play to implement this.
