Found this so called "leak" on gamefaqs

Do wanna say I recall something about possibly a new DoH/DoL but dunno how much work it would take to create a one of those jobs, I'd assume a lot less than battle classes but who knows.

Oh reallllllllllllllllllly? I hope you recall correctly.

I think the person who wrote this forgot that there is still the EU fanfest after the JP one. I don't think they would reveal all of this, if you look at how much they revealed in Las Vegas and remember that Yoshi-P said that he couldn't reveal more to have something for the other fanfests too.

Add to that the fact that Yoshi-P wants specifically to stay Director and give up being a Producer in the future when it would make sense. Exactly the opposite from this "leak".

There were some comments about a possible Shepard DoL class.

I laughed at a roulette made with savage content. How are you going to have a roulette for content that few people have beaten? Even with echo, good luck with that. Mentor roulette is a nightmare sometimes just with the extreme primals.

That would make sense so we could get our animal-y bits from gathering rather than killing.

Shepherd was planned (but ultimately never made it into the game) for 1.0. For some reason, people keep bringing it up as if there was any hint we would be getting it now (which doesn't make any sense unless they stop giving us mats from killing animals, which would piss tons of people off )

Anyway, @topic: Glad it's so obviously fake. While I really want dancer healer to become a thing, I'm not willing to trade that in for a shortened GCD. I'm too old for this horrible, annoying trend that everything has to be faster and even faster pointless button mashing in modern MMOs and am glad that is not the case in FFXIV yet.

I don't know if you've ever played a Final Fantasy game before, but Red Mage is all about physical offense, black magic, and white magic. They're not just a stabby Rapier job with a fancy outfit.

Pretty much, that's literally their entire gimmick through the series too using low tier magic spells and iirc they don't learn either -aga or aja spells depending on the game.

I won't even count FFXI, I can hardly see balance in that game.

You can't just dismiss it because you don't like it FFXI is a MMO with raise present in the Red Mage's spell list, lol. Balanced or not

[Blackcanary]

Sounds pretty fake to me.

RDM have the ability to raise?

...

Red Mage has the ability's of both a White Mage and a Bleack Mage and they can enchant their weapon so a RDm having raise would happen. They had it in FFXI.

From what I hear, FFXI was an extremely unbalanced game though. XIV strives on making every job feel important and useful to some extent. Though older jobs like Paladin and White Mage are quickly becoming less relevant.
