Which job seems the most 'relevant' to the main storyline?

[Frederick22]

That'd be neat. I'm hoping we only get one new class this time around and if so showcasing whatever it is makes the most sense to help build hype.

It has aleready being said we will have 3 new jobs

Actually, just recently Yoshi-P said in an interview that getting 3 new jobs out for 3.0 took a lot out of his team, and that it might be unreasonable to expect this number from every expansion. That seems to give the indication that there might be less than 3 in 4.0.

I might be okay with this if they add more classes as an expansion goes on, rather than at the start. We have a lot of DoW DPS classes, but only 2 DoM DPS classes, and it's pretty sad. Granted I'd also like to see a DoM Tank and a DoW Healer (Red Mage and Dancer respectively). Add in Blue Mage as a DoM DPS addition and I'd be happy for an expansion. After that, I'd want to see a Caster DPS added each expansion.

Samurai is an 100% thing
Red Mage is highly possible..

why wouldnt be a 3rd job?


Where did they said that doing 3 jobs took loot of time and might to repeat that again? I read all interviwes and i dont remember such thing.

[Erudito]

Summoner hands down and no questions asked. My memory is fuzzy but if I recall correctly no other job in the game touches any of the subjects of the main story.

We found out during this expansion that the story from Dragoon from 30 to 50 would have a part to play but the job story from 50 to 60 does nothing for the main story.

The same thing might happen with Monk for the next expansion if we end up going to Ala Mhigo.

It would be really good story telling if the level 50 Dark Knight story mixed in with the main story somehow.

I believe it was at one of the LIVE letters he mentioned that, but I clearly remember it being said indeed that they (probably) wouldn't do 3 jobs anymore at once at the start of the next expansion, as it took a lot of resources.

[Grayve]

I recall that statement as well. They also said they would not be adding a class in the middle of an expansion as ninja was very difficult.

[Tracewood]

Monk is kind of low key, but I get the feeling if we're going to venture to Ala Mhigo they might play a larger role like the Dragoons did in Heavensward.

Perhaps maybe it's time for a mage to take center stage, like derplander goes DRG, but say the miqote bard changes into astrologan or (Red Mage) something and put her front and center for 4.0 promotional materials... people like them catgirls.

"It's too hard to add a new class at any point of development ever. We will no longer be adding any new classes.

Please look forward to it."

2.0 starting in Ul'dah as a gladiator and working up through Paladin feels the most canon

Heavensward up until after you think the dragonsong war is coming to a close Dragoon feels the most canon.

After your heart is shattered to a thousand pieces during the storyline Dark Knight feels the most canon for murdering a certain robe wearing holy man and his twelve knights.
