Next Job/Jobs Speculation

I'd love to see Blue Mage tank and Dancer healer.

I haven't finished the storyline yet, but that is a bummer to hear.

They suggest this in the first couple quests, and re-inforce the idea throughout

With all the buzz about Blu from SE's letter and the Astro quests, I do hope that it is a thing they are working on. I would like to see it as a tank as well (Twelve know we need some tanks and healers in que).

Stormblood spoilers here!!!

And, if they were added, I would honestly see the job teachers either Raubaun (he does a ton of primal abilities in the tourney of HW and of course his name is a big flag for us who played FFXI), or even the warriors of the Steppe. Magni uses some Titan-esque moves and his axe looks like the Crag axe. And then there is Sadhu,
and boy does she scream Blue Mage! The line AoE is Garuda's wind blast, and she summons those Chuluus to spit fire and summon a meteor.

And as for another job, I would like to see Dancer come in as a healer that can heal through dps via Drain Samba. Of course, it would still have direct heals, but it would do good to not have a repeat of Astro's mechanics and have a healer with its own style.

Saw a Thanavirian Embassy in Kugane. Perhaps someone in Radz-at-han knows how to tank with a saber or heal with a fan? Maybe they would teach us?

I've actually been hoping for Mystic Knight (possibly tank?) and Chemist (healer) to be Thavnairian jobs. They fit the look, at least.





I won't deny Blue Mage and Dancer could also fit it. But these are the ones I want, especially Chemist. Chemist should also fit Thavnairian lore, I'd think.

beast master, idc if tank or dps. I'll play it.

Dancer for Tank. Juke and jive past AOEs while keeping aggro because mobs are jealous of your sick moves. Video related.

Blue Mage and Geomancer are likely. There's also high demand for Dancer, as well as Beastmaster.

Going by "Arms", we have:

GEO: Handbells
BLU: Whips, Scythes, Scimitars? (little consistency with BLU weapons in FF series)
BST: 1h axes/dual axes?

Yoshi also said he wants a new job, unique to XIV.


I also want a Magitek Knight/Rune Fencer or something later that uses Garlean tech or magitek. Would be based on Celes from FF6 and FFXI's Rune Fencer.

Gunblader job for tank ..the NPCs are using so much gunblade skills that they could just mash them together and just introduce them

Most likely to happen if 5.0 is when we go to Garlemald as it would suite the expansion theme.

Also there should be plenty of Gunblades looted from the defeat of Garleans after 2.0 by now considering Gunblades is standard issues for Garlean Soldiers.

Geomancer would fill me with glee, and it feels like a hint after the one in AST's questline (he even uses a unique weapon just like Arcanist in 1.0 had), but SE knows how badly we want dancer after the intense speculation that Lyse was one in the Stormblood reveal trailer.

But, I fully expect 5.0 will bring a tank and healer, since we need new ones now, and building 2 jobs seems far easier for the devs to handle than Ninja in the 2.x patch cycle, followed immediately by Dark Knight, Astrologian, and Machinist in 3.0. Both Red Mage and Samurai feel far more polished and balanced.

Geomancer was more than a hint, it was going to be in 4.0 but later changed to Samurai.

From what we know from interview before release they literally have no intention to add dancer.
