So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

[Bonkleberry]

I am jumping on the Blue Mage bandwagon. All of the previous shirts were quite literal in pointing out the new job names or abilities. Spiderman got his powers from being bitten by a spider (the most obvious clue I think).

Web slinging was never one of Spiderman's powers, it was an invention he made to supplement his new powers and identity, so anything web or string related is a no in my book.

The samurai clue is reaching in my opinion. The man's name is not literally samurai, it resembles samurai. Anyone else wanna go through the staff listings of any other Spiderman movie and cherry pick staff names that resemble final fantasy classes? Spiderman has never been a Samurai. Samurai Spiderman is a random toy in a Bandai series that depicted several superheroes in Samurai form.

The only other job assumption I could agree with beyond Blue Mage is Beastmaster, since Spiderman fights several animal themed villains, but that idea seems less likely to me than Blue Mage.

Yoshi kind of shutdown the speculation tied to 'Sami Raimi' in his interview with Famitsu.

No. If I were a game director and asked such a direct question I would probably react the same way. Idk why people think he would straight up say it DOES have something to do with the name of the director of Spider Man. He's also trolley as hell. I also really doubt BLU will be introduced along with RDM because that would be 2 Caster DPS in 1 expansion, wut? Unless they make it something else.

Edit: "It might be a “spider webber”" This is as troll as they get.

Honestly with that post even if it wasn't a troll the only one that would work with strings is Puppeteer

*sigh* I continue to be unimpressed by Beatmaster, Puppetmaster and Blue Mage. Red mage, depending on how it is implemented might be good.

At the end of the day I'd like to have seen a sword based DPS(Samurai), Samurai I would play. Agility based job(Dancer) could be any of the trinity roles, I'd play any of them; we don't have a physical healer, so an agile job that can rush in and provide close range healing would seem to fit well. One other thing I would like to see is a DoM tank. (Edit: Having read the famitsu interview, RDM is obviously DPS, so the following speculation matters not)Red mage could actually be this considering it's history of wearing real armor, using a physical weapon, and having access to magic, but somehow I doubt this will happen.

I guess we are doomed to a bazillion RDM and BlueMage/BeastMaster/PuppetMaster wannabes in the early months of StormBlood.

Brings back memories, when we crashed quest servers in 2.0 because of everyone playing Arcanist

I dunno if anyone pointed out this, but in final fantasy spider web is the item that mimics the effect of slow... how about a time mage?
