FFXI Classes-->FFXIV

Pup. It's all i need ;_; or at least another class with customizable pet

Hmm. Well, a lot of them can already be obtained by mixing and matching what is already out there. Rdm, for example. There's just a few things missing.

SMN and BST are no brainers as classes. DRG with wyvrn and jump of course. Thief has potential with backstabbing if people ever twig on BRs and Incaps, etc., but also stealing would be nice. Ninja would be nice for Dual Wield though I could care less about shadows.

Hmm. I'm holding out for musketeer. I would love to dual wield pistols, if it were some kind of /ra class. I couldn't get behind Corsair in 11, nor could I in 14.

Bard would be nice. I never enjoyed playing it, because support didn't appeal to me, but the style of play and the way that Bards had to always manage their location always impressed me. It could really play a huge role in 14, again if people ever twig on the neatness of positional combat and BRs.

SAM is cool, and it has its place (A "direct copy of SAM from 14 -> 11 = Self BR?), though it never appealed to me personally.

But some new stuff would be nice as well.

CORSAIR.

No I don't want musketeer or any old gun user. I want to buff my party, and I want quick draw with elemental shots. It's like SE got together during ToAU's development and said "Hey guys, why don't we just go ahead and make this the one job to be more fun to play than any MMO class in existence". There's enough stupid pirate nonsense in FFXIV anyway so it's not like they couldn't make it "fit in".

God, I love COR. Samurai would be nice too.

While I disagree with COR specifically, because I don't like buffers, I definitely do wish that SE would show that same initiative when considering new classes. Credit where credit is due; SE nailed corsair as a "gambler" job in an MMO. I wouldn't have thought it possible.

Man, I would've said the same thing before actually trying out the job for a while. It really picks up when you get quick draw. Being able to pull, deal damage, dispel, instant sleep, enhance enfeebling effects, and buff the entire party all in one job just made you feel like you ran the whole party.

I played a 75 bard and I really enjoyed it. Also Nin was fun for me, the shadows and duel wield. Also, introduce great swords into the game. I know a 2 people who won't try it w/o GS.

Thief - This has been one of the basic starter classes in just about every FF game...idk why it was changed.

Black Mage - view thief

Dark Knight - awesome DD in almost every FF game that it was in (Since Cecil). Why not bring it back?

Corsair/Cannonist - amazing party support. With the ability to be just about anything (DD, buffer, side healer in FFXI) this class is one of the most diverse that I've seen and is one of the most fun that I've ever played.

Puppetmaster - Just an all around fun job in FFXI

Necromancer - it uses zombies...nuff said.

I'm sure others have said it, but I'll happily say it again:

Summoner.

Really, it's a Final Fantasy staple. Albeit almost certainly an advanced role but.. yeah, it would be a travesty if Final Fantasy XIV never sees Summoners in some form.

my exact thinkning. that's like never seeing cid in this one nor riding a chocobo. these are final fantasy staples and should always be involved in some form or another. i would love to see summoning a creature with the graphics this game has.

I know people hated it , but i think of all classes ffxi had, compared to the rest of mmos i played. the most unique one was NIN.

I never had as much fun as tanking something incredible hard on nin with a haste build, not eva build.Hell even with pld 75 personally i found nin to be incredible fun.I played quite a lot of mmos and im yet to find a class similar to NIN.The game play was seriously fun.

[Mega]

I was a black mage in XI and I was really looking forward to playing the role of an in-depth whm class.
FFXIV needs a class that everyone can look at and say, "hey- that dude heals pick 'em up." I wanted to be that guy since others are unreliable and I do it best.

Other DoM want to do the complete opposite and blow sh-- into nothingness. However, they are auto-lumped into the category of healer which makes me less special and takes away from their enjoyment.

This is why WHM needs to be added to FFXIV
