people don't marry themselves to a job concept before it even comes out.

I'll make sure to save this quote for when (if) Limited Beasmaster, Puppeteer, or Dancer comes out and we can do this all over again. The "concept" of Blue Mage did not begin in FFXIV.

It's coming from a place of being hurt by Blue Mage, which is real dark, I know...but some part of me really wishes they go the Mog route with Dancer and forcing them to have a small chance of learning a specific dance under every weather condition in the game in their limited DPS job gameplay, including like Ultima and Odin weather and such.

After all, it wouldn't be Dancer without that, right?

There haven't been any other main character Dancers in the series (besides Penelo if you count spinoffs), so to be fair to Dancer it kinda has to be this way or the fans would be upset and it shouldn't be allowed in FFXIV.

That's mean sarcasm and I wouldn't really want to wish that on anybody. But, the same logic really does apply and when people throw around things like "being married to a job concept" or all the weird justifications from the dev team about what jobs and fun are 'supposed' to be like, it's not so nice when it's something you're looking forward to, is it?

Dancer has a stronger conceptual identity than blu does.

Real talk, if Dancer is the next class and it's a melee healer, I might main swap. I want it to be a melee healer quite a bit. It's a role that goes pretty underutilized in MMO's and the last time I got to play one (rune priest) it was busted as hell and a lot of fun.

If they pull the ol' switcheroo and dnc is a limited job, I wouldn't really care. I already like playing sam, rdm, drg, war and drk well enough that surely at least one of them would be fine to play in the expansion (can't metaphorically ten-chi-jin all of them) and I would level my dnc and then get on with my life. I would definitely, 100% rather have a limited dancer job over it being another healer in exactly the same mold as the other 3 we already got.

@Videra thank you for noticing! In no particular order: Eureka, Gold Saucer mini games that take forever to grind out, lalafels, light grinding 500 garuda hm's. 13 minute raid encounters, and idiot rp'ers who take one of the precious few opportunities we get to directly converse with the producer of this game to ask if Alphinaud is actually half-elezen half-lalafel.

Dancer should also be restricted to female only according to Final Fantasy Tactics.

In that case bard should be restricted to males
