What Race Should the Next Jobs Be?

[TankHunter678]

Dancer - Female Au Ra
Red Mage - Male Highlander
Geomancer - Female Elezen
Blue Mage - Male Roegadyn
Puppet Master - Female Lalafell
Beast Tamer - Female Roegadyn
Salve-Maker - Male Lalafell
Samurai - Male Au Ra


Dancer fits female characters far more then male characters by far. Its why often times when it comes to character design a female dancer is paired with a male bard of the "performance" style classes. Blue Mage would fit a character that is often considered durable (like Roes) given that classic FF Blue Mages learn their skills by getting hit by them.

Samurai HAS to be male. race doesnt matter (except potatos) but it needs to be male. When you picture a samurai you don't see a cute little kawaii girl, no you picture a strong independent guy( any race except potatos) wielding a bow in tow and a large katana in armor. Or a lone ronin wanderer searching for either redemption or vengeance[

I'm confused, where in the race selection are you seeing potatoes? Sorry, "Potatos". Are Potatos a new race? I hope so, getting sick of all the boring Hyur clones.


On topic, I gotta throw my vote in for more Roe/Lala representation!

That artwork isn't actually true 'concept art' though, as concept art is part of the design process and may change or differ from the final version. That artwork is more like propaganda artwork released to promote the game and the Jobs, no surprises that the first five Jobs are actually of Derplander and his friends (the male roe, female lalafell, female miqo'te and female elezen). The artbook The Art of Eorzea ~ Another Dawn just generally depicts Midlander hyur of bother genders for the base design of each class/Job's equipment/AF and then shows supplementary artwork of that same gear on other races due to design differences peculiar to each race.

Personally, for the propaganda artwork the choice of what race for new Jobs artwork would likely just depend on what race the artists feel like (and within the design brief given by Yoshi of course). But may I be proven wrong though.

If there is a Dancer, it needs to be a male, because, you know...



...Bartz.

I'd like to see a male lalafell Healer, as well as a lalafell DPS. I wanna see lalafells.

I would request all jobs be represented by Roegadyn

[Ghastly]

I would request all jobs be represented by Roegadyn

Me too

But I also want to correct one thing, male hyur is not what represents the warrior class, it's actually male hellsguard roegadyn.
For Red Mage it has to be Viera (their lore says that they're masters of all weapons)

You are right concept was the wrong word, it was just the first word that came to mind, lol. I fixed it in my post.

male hyur is not what represents the warrior class, it's actually male hellsguard roegadyn

This doesn't look like a Roegadyn to me?
