Scout, Caster, Pet. Which class would you want next?

[LillithaFenimore]

There needs to be another caster class. The melee class has plenty for now. To only have two caster classes is just nuts. Either a caster/pet class (summoner) or red mage. Either would be fine by me.

Can I have Fluttershy as a pet, please!

I think the Disciples of Magic classes need more variety, so I'd say a new caster class is the most important. Bonus points if it's Red Mage!

I also have been looking forward to Musketeer since alpha, so I'd like to see that with possible job options Corsair and Engineer.

I hope Red-Mage is radically different from FFXI.

How is it going to be any different from Cjn/Whm and Thm/Blm if it supposed to be a mix of both, and the first 2 Dom alreayd have a mix of each other's abilities.

Well in FFXI the job of the RDM was mostly about enfeebling and enhancing instead of just being a versatile warrior/mage. I think it would be cool if getting the RDM job required progression in both a DoW class (gladiator for example) and a DoM class (thaumaturge most likely) and allowed access to a melee/caster type role where you stick enfeebles on your opponent in melee combat. How cool would it be fighting as a duelist type wearing a fancy red hat who cripples their opponents with enfeebling magic?

Another option for enfeebling/enhancing would be Time Mage. Something not explored in FFXI at all, but definitely an iconic FF job that could easily fulfill that role with spells like haste and slow.

They should just add all three, and make everyone happy, not add one and make it worse by saying player poll shows which one will be implemented first.

Yea, I think this is the best strategy. Release a whole slew of classes/jobs, keep people happy for a while.

I agree here, don't get me wrong, all three sound great (as does musketeer) but I think another caster class is needed before anything else. After that though, I wouldn't mind seeing a BST type job next

The "caster" job in the poll seems more like a Musketeer than a mage.

Since Yoshi-P stated that the next class would be a Mage (Ideally: Arcanist >> Time Mage.) , I can't help but wonder if this poll is to help the dev team decide on an additional class to be released in tandem with the new Mage class.

It would be a bit strange to add a class to the game by itself. New jobs in FFXI were deliberately added in groups of 2 or more to avoid what would be a majority of players all leveling a single job at the same time.

But then again, this game isn't finished yet....
