Job icons have officially been confirmed

[Iscah]

The icon is pretty abstract, but it's hard to think of what "straightforward" design they could use when Machinst already has the gun icon.

The most straightforward would just be weapons design, so a gunblade in this case. That said, I prefer icons to be more abstract.

The icon kind of reminds me of Squall's hit animation, to be honest. It's been a long time since I played it, but iirc when Squall hit an enemy there would be a diagonal slash graphic, and if you also pulled the trigger on the gunblade, there would be an added explosion-like effect. The end result being a circular explosion effect with a diagonal slash through the middle of it.

This to me looks like a stylised version of that effect.

True - but as I said, machinist already has a gun with a similar shape to a gunblade as its job icon. You wouldn't be able to easily distinguish them at the size we normally see the icons. (Other than the icon colour, of course, but I can still understand them wanting to do something more distinct.)

Now that they've confirmed it, what exactly IS dnc's icon supposed to be? It can't just be a heart cause ooh dancer pretty I hope.

[Bright-Flower]

Seeing the face of a revolver clip could have worked but I kind of like them taking 'gun breaker' and cutting the crosshair in half.

Dancer looks OK I guess it makes sense since chakram won't be their only weapon type.

[Nalien]

Dancers icon makes perfect sense when you realize that the job will Kali Ma their enemies and throw their heart right back at them as an attack.

It's their LB3 in fact. Kali Ma the enemy, then dab.

Ha I was thinking more along the lines of P5's Phantom Thieves. Dancer is going to take all your hearts!

Nothing seems to line up quite right on the Gunbreaker one.



The whole thing is slightly off-centre, the little points don't line up, and the semi circles don't begin at the same point on the line breaking through the middle.

I like the symbol conceptually, but the execution seems off.

Perhaps you are...triggered?

Wouldn't the iconic lion head with a cross have been a better icon. I mean the gun thing is exactly the same as the way it will work with SAM right now.


Also, yeah, what is DNC. I get it looks like a heart but it has to be something more representative. I think maybe it's a fan?
