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

Regarding the puppetmaster, this job is very famous in the FireEmblem serie, but non existent in FF. If we were in 5.0 or 6.0, I wouldn't say, but there are soooo many other iconic job could be added, Dancer, Beastmaster, TimeMage, Geomancer, just to name a few... that addidng a Puppetmaster would feel very out of place.

I am calling that the Spider-Man shirt will be beast master oriented or blue mage oriented. All the shirts have been blunt and obvious. The Sam rami theory is so far out there. I believe it is due to Spider-Man getting his powers from a spider like blue mage or using animal powers to fight.

(I hate the idea of it, but it is the most sound idea)

FFXI's Puppetmaster says hi.

Puppetmaster isn't iconic in the series, hell it almost wasn't a thing it was introduced last minute to replace necromancer because it didn't "fit" final fantasy. Don't get me wrong I like puppetmaster and it was my main in FFXI, but I don't see it being added unless yoshi-p really really likes the job and sees a niche for it ingame. Plus puppetmaster has an identity crisis it cannot be a hybrid so if it's added it'll be like AST "FFXIV original job". I think the best bet for PUP being added is to merge FFXI PUP with mime from older FFs.

Saying that though, things like Geomancer and Beastmaster just for examples as they were mentioned, are hardly iconic to the series either, having only being used in a few games, and only 1-2 main series games. If we want to claim them as iconic, then technically Puppetmaster has been in games beforehand too. FFIV had a Puppetmaster villain, and Cait Sith could be considered the Puppet of it's Master Reeve in VII, and Lulu in X was a Puppetmaster/Black Mage hybrid.

True they have puppetmaster aspects but it wasn't a job until 2007, and even then it has never been reintroduced so puppetmaster is in the lowest tier of wanted jobs next to gunblade users which as of yet has no job in the series. In my opinion PUP was a very fun and original job in the series but any chance of it being reintroduced has been destroyed by FFXI thanks to their poorly executed release. If puppetmaster was on par with BLU and COR I bet we would have seen them much more in the series. But SE released them horribly broken which damaged their reputation. (I believe Astrologian will suffer the same fate in the series because of it being released broken at launch.)

I see a lot of people talking about the Blue vs Red reference, you guys must not forget that Heavenward have 蒼天(blue sky) in it title and Stormblood have 紅蓮 (red lotus) on the title. So most of these references are from the transition from the blue themed Ishgard to the Red themed Ala Mhigo. Maybe we will get blue mage, but I sincerely believe most of these references are for the expansions, not teasing any job.

After looking for the titles in Japanese, now read the new year poem again, and it will be clear (at least for me) that it's talking about leaving Ishgard to Ala Mhigo.

I don't care what the poem is about just confirm Blue Mage as a tank already so i can drop paladin.

I see a lot of people speculating based on the woman in the trailer, discussing if she is a DNC or a MNK. That woman obvipusly isn't Uda, she doesn't have the tattoos in her neck, which wasn't forgotten by SE because in ARR opening you see her tattoo.

Sooooo that's certain to be here sister. Being her sister, an Ala Mhigan and being parte of the resistance, she probably was trained with martial arts like Yda, but why couldn't she develop a love and interest in Dancing, mixing martial arts (offensive stance) with dancing moves/posture (buff/debuff/healing stance)?

So I'm hoping, and want só bad, SE is bringing DNC. Come to papa!

And once again yes, there is a lot of unrelated blue and red references been thrown around. It has people that hope for BLU really going crazy and people who hope is not BLU pointing out is crazy talk.
I personally don't care which class it is I just love the speculation.
I just know that if in the end it's BLU my reaction will be


for all the clever it isn't but it is stuff
