next job and race speculation.

[Beckett]

I have this weird, completely idle speculation that we'll be getting Blue Mage, Dancer and a Gunblade job, and that SE has heard the demand and will add Viera, but will also add a lion race.

[Kazrah]

I'd expect two jobs, being a tank and healer.

Healer potential comes with at least three options: Dancer just because it's now possibly the most demanded job in the game, Chemist or something incorporating it due to a "mix" of player demand and easy potential lore tie-in and Oracle due to Yoshi's previous mentions of it being intended as a third job for Stormblood (which means resources for it may already be there). Tank choice leaves a higher potential to fulfill Yoshi's stated desire of having new jobs exclusive to FFXIV, where we may see something that may seem on some level like a more familiar job redesigned to fit how the game functions. If there is a chance for a third job in 5.0, it was severely diminished with the overall lack of content provided in Stormblood compared to Heavensward.

As for new race, I don't think it'll happen for a long time unless it's another case like au'ra of taking models from other races. My main question to the viera fans would be wondering how butchered would vieras have to be before they'd be considered unacceptable since that's probably what would happen given past issues involving character models.

Nu Mou and Chemist healer

Au Ra just appeared out of nowhere.

Not only that but they also appeared a full expansion BEFORE we visited their home continent. How many au ra npcs did we even actually see in HW again? Yugiri of course. The dark knight guy. Was there anyone else?

[giwaman]

Padjal, Viera or Garlean.
Blue mage, Dancer, Gunblade job

[Stormfur]

ronso and beast tamer >:V just to be different

Don't you tease me! I want both of these so much.

We need a wolf/fox-like race.

also the one guy at wolves den and in WHM/WAR job quest

[Metsonm]

I'd probably be willing to put money on Blue Mage/Dancer/Whatever gunblade user will be called for classes and Viera for new race after that leak called everything else that it did.

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Going by the leaks, we're to expect:

- Blue Mage (Support Melee DPS) in 4.5
- Solider/Gun Blader (tank) and Dancer (Healer) in 5.0
- Viera
- Ronso

Given the person has been nearly 100% accurate, I'm inclined to believe this may turn out true. Still a little iffy on two races though, but three jobs I can easily see. Unlike Heavensward, there wasn't a fourth job (Ninja) in development prior. Furthermore, I suspect they want to have a DPS in each expansion release due to how popular the role is overall, however they can't go another expansion without a tank or healer. This seems the best solution.

[JunseiKei]

Going by leaks, it said two new races, one of which wasn't being told due to story spoilers. That makes me wonder if that story spoiler race isn't Garlean. We're apparently heading into Garlemald; it makes sense to me in the least.
