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

I admit the more I think on it I don't know what to think. He says the director of the movie has no influence, yet at the same time has stated BLU would probably not happen as it's more believed for solo content? Unless they are just flat out lying or trolling, I honestly don't know if their is something else we may possibly be missing? Granted only leads me back to being acrobatic, thus me thinking Dancer again. =/

As for the AST = Time mage, I kinda feel that is what they were going for.

Bravely Second tries to differentiate between Astrologian and Time Mage. (But then I'm also disatisfied with class uniqueness in Bravely Second.) (But again, two separate jobs.)

What if spiderman himself is misleading and the actually connection is Peter Parker or another character?

Sometimes a rose is just a rose.

I'm not really sure what would be the point of a misleading clue...as we kind of need to know something, anything at all, before we can be mislead away from it... 0.o The prior shirts were pretty spot on too!

I'm gonna call it... The answer is gonna be a full on "Dad joke" and all of the dads will snicker once the truth is revealed... The reason we can't figure it out is because the actual tie in with Spider-man is soooooooo corny that we'd never deliberately pick it out as the answer as it would be too cheesy of a connection....

Dancer it is then.

I can't think of anything more cheesy than the way that my Dad dances...talk about lack of Rhythm.

Just to follow up on that, and a comment someone made earlier about the live action Supaidāman (Spider man) TV show in Japan (officially licensed by Marvel); someone should get the Spider-man boogie track (Episode 7 of Supaidāman) and the dancing spiderman put together for the sheer heck of it...

haha that's awesome!

Another thing I noticed was that new dance emote in china ffxiv looks almost exactly like the storm blood girl dance. Also my bf recently did a report for university on Chinese dancing and if you look up the chinese scarf dancing it looks very similar as well.

In Final Fantasy XI the name of the Blue Mages were "The Immortals" and they were captained by a man named Raubahn. Gee wonder where that sounds familiar. The Immortal Flames in Ul'Dah is run by Raubahn who just so happens to also be an Ala Mhigan, not to mention that Ul'Dah is rather notorious for it's Ala Mhigan refugee population. I don't know, some people might brush that off, but I think it's just too much of a coincidence.

After reading this, I'm on board with Blue Mage. I was actually heavily convinced that Samurai was going to be added, but when I thought about the indications I was using such as the new Antaganist for storm blood being a Samurai, it wasn't really sufficient information. Just naming some additional reasons that haven't been mentioned that support the Blue Mage Theory:

1) If we are in fact only getting 2 new jobs (based on the tweet), wouldn't it be weird that the only job that exclusively comes out of stormblood would be Samurai? Given the fact that Red Mage is a job accessible in ARR areas, that means we'd unlock Samurai from SB and that'd be it. Honestly that would make no sense. I could see if they were adding three jobs and you could get Samurai and Blue Mage both in SB, but Samurai alone would just be odd because it really doesn't fit into Stormblood/Ala Mhigan lore whatsoever. It makes more sense in Othard/Doma.

2) Stormblood currently seems to be an expansion pack which is borrowing from the world and concepts of Ivalice. You can hear it in its music where there are lots of horns and violins giving sort of a (Royal) sound, and even one of the raids are named Return to Ivalice. With that said, when I try to imagine a job that fits more into the lore and world of Ivalice, I think Blue Mage would be that job at not Samurai.

3) Adding to the Raubahn/Immortal Flames/Blue Mage Theory: Raubahn's weapons are also called Tizona which is the Blue Mage mythic (Relic equivalent in ff14) weapon from FFXI. The weapon style is also a scimitar and not a sword which is a Blue Mage style of weapon.


After giving it some thought, Yoshi-P and the developers like to add jobs that "fit" into the lore of the expansion and Blue Mage actually does that really well, but Samurai? That's a stretch. I am still highly convinced we'll be getting Samurai, but I think it would have to come with another job like Blue Mage if it were to be introduced into stormblood.

Hmm, Spiderman is also a bit of a chemist.

[NorthernLadMSP]

No, no he's not a bit of a chemist.
