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

[Shiro--Tsubasa]

I hate to think about it but if its really only 2 classes that just means we are going to be stuck without Samurai & Dancer or Blue Mage & Samurai or Dancer & Bluemage for what about 2 years or so depending on how long till the next expansion

Also if Yoshi-P is massively trolling us >:[ Lets tease SAMURAI as hard as we can then not reveal so they have to wait till 5.0 trolololol

Not entirely true. IIRC Ninja was released mid expansion. Whose to say we won't be getting one mid expansion this time as well.

The devs themselves, pretty much. They've talked about how splitting part of the team to work on NIN introduced a lot of difficulties because they had to divert them from Heavensward, straining both the half-team that had to develop and balance a job mid-expansion, AND the team that had to do more work to make up for their loss on the Heavensward team.

It's kind of like the Sch/Smn split, it sounds like something they experimented with but aren't inclined to repeat.

who knows? I mean its possible theyd retract from never wanting to do that again, but its not like weirder stuff came out in the past like "rdm not gonna happen in this game because reasons"

Indeed, they were once said that red make is hard to fit in tank, healer, dps role. As RDM are support job in FF series.
Major in spells such as slow, paralyze, blind, phalanx and etc.
They made it happened now.

Besides, if battle system is changing, it might mean that Blue Mage could be able to become 1st multi-role job. (YouTube shows many of FF11 Blue Mage as Tank, DPS, or even Healer)

Im right there with you! Obviously the role system will limit a job, but its not impossible to get it to fit. And I'll always believe that

They pretty much said they won't do that again. Unless they don't release the 3rd class now and save it for mid expansion.
