So.... What exactly is this? [Stormblood Speculation]

[Kogasan]

But if that's really bard af since when did bard use a dagger. The other weapon looks so much like a dagger. Another idea is that that picture is whatever the third new job is gonna be.

[Felis]

That's an idea. New stormblood glamour, instruments to replace the harp for brd. Bagpipes would be amazing or a banjo or a bass guitar or bongos.

It will be just gear accessory, not a real weapon

[Kogasan]

But still it could be the third new job. So what's to say at this point that it is definitely bard af. I'd say give it a couple months for the release date of Stormblood to get closer before you say that it is definitely bard af.

That White Mage gear looks awesome. Kinda makes me want to finally level my WHM.

What other weapon?

You've got a bagpipe on one side:


And then a curved horn with key pads on the other side:



It's BRD AF. You people are being ridiculous at this point.

[Beckett]

There are tons of gear pieces that have extra daggers or vials or bullets or what have you that can be worn by jobs that use none of those things. What's on your gear doesn't matter at all, only what's in your hands.

That image was originally shown in Las Vegas fanfest, I believe they straight out mentioned the job names before or after showing the images (DRK/BLM/WHM/BRD), maybe someone with access to the fanfest archive can verify.

I clearly recall them talking about them, and mentioning how due to player feedback they were going with two different models for male and female WHM.

[Fluffernuff]

....it has to be blue mage because the robes look "mage-y"?

Because BRD/MCH have never had robed gear... ever. I guess.


Did we all forget about those cast bars, though? Maybe those robes are Mage-y because its for out beloved BowMage?

[Kogasan]

I still think it could be for whatever the third new job is. Besides at this point it doesn't really matter. Because Stormblood is still months away and we don't even know what the third new job is gonna be.

[BHGlobbd]

Why do you keep saying third new job? At this point only one job has been revealed, there is no guarantee that there will be 3.
