2nd STORMBLOOD Job revealed

[Vexander]

If Alphinaud were not portrayed very clearly as an Arcanist, I may have fallen for this.

Instead I shall take this as further (albeit reaching) evidence that Red Mage is a class associated with Sharlayan.

Well his sister was always a arcanist and out of nowhere she pulled a rapier out of her book who says he won't pull a magical scimitar from his book? Actually if BLU is indeed our second new job I wonder what twist their weapons will bring. If they did it for RDM I doubt BLU would get a same old generic scimitar. Perhaps they will get gunblade scimitars? Or my favorite suggested weapon a scimitar whip?

I have yet to do the Coils of Bahamut, so I don't know how accurate this is, but to my knowledge, we've never -seen- Alisae using her book like an Arcanist would. By contrast we have -seen- multiple times, Alphinaud summoning Carbuncles, Casting Ruin and Healing with Physick. Given that Louisoix gave the twins the books and said the true knowledge within would be unlocked when they used them together, I could possibly see a Blue Mage connection, but the sudden and drastic shift in class/job for Alphinaud would seem strange and maybe a little forced. Especially as Hoary Boulder has given us plenty of teasers about Blue Mage in his own training when he was off.

That and I'm not sure Blue Mage would suit Alphinaud. We don't know what the class is yet, but a long-ranged caster placing aether constructs between himself and harm's way certainly seems to fit Alphinaud as a character. He's a strategist, a chess master. Blue Mage would necessitate putting one's self in harms way just to learn.

That's a mood point in this game characters change jobs all the time before ninja thancred was considered a bard or gladiator then out of no where he became a ninja. Before 3.0 the WOL was a warrior then he switched to dragoon. NPC like the players aren't locked to jobs forever there are hints that they can job change as well.

Watch BLU and RDM both be more offshoots of Arcanist, and muddle the class even further.
