WoL jobs in trailers

[Lilseph]

Which artwork was that? I recall every rendition of Renda-Rae (even the Source one) being a bard, which has a similar looking hat, personally.

Umm Renda-Rae is the bard, The big Elezen guy was a blm

I see now. Sorry, the comment about Renda-Rae was what made me turn my head, although that's the first time I'm seeing that particular image lol

The real question is when will we be able to change jobs mid-combat like the WoL can.

My theory is that in the important fights, your raid group is actually just you preforming all 8 jobs at once

The view of a Warrior type of hero is iconic, there is a reason most depictions are of combatants who specialize in close combat.


Mind you i have often thought of that this next expansion should showcase a Healing job due to just how badly Healers were treated in this one.

However i don't see it happening. I'm not say it shouldn't, just that my limited ability/ imagination does not see any the the current jobs not of the melee persuasion as spotlight/ showcase jobs. Just saying, it's the Warrior of Light, not Mage of Light. The closest we'll get is probably Red Mage or something new...

However i hope i'm wrong.

A surviving hero fights from the distance.

A true heroes fight in melee.

Looks like I don't have to say anything because it is in my signature . . .

Ooooaawwhhh!

Thank you so much for this image!! I suck up every tiny bit of Red Mage awesomeness from everywhere!

Probably just my heavy bias talking here (really want it) but I feel a transformation job could check all the visual boxes really nicely too. I mean a summoner (as referenced earlier in the thread) I think could potentially as well since in a vague sort of way they're similar (calling forth something different/not similar own image, also they could potentially fit the lore very well like dragoon to HW).

Both SMN and a transformation job could play with that overwhelming image that suddenly changes odds drastically, summons because.. summons (which can use both magic and melee logically) and of course transformations which could also be a mix of magic and melee. Also the later has potential to touch upon some Terra Bradford and Vincent FF references.

Though honestly I'm probably just trying to fit it in now lol. Transformation job go go SE gooooo. :3. We've so many mechanics and themes but that one is untouched so far, so adding it would be quite new (Also I want to see some transformations by FF's awesome artists- also unchained, at least the later forms being impressive and intimidating).

Also you could do some flash back quotes to "become what you must" .

Okay... so.. probably just crazy, but we all know how Black Mage is Yoshida's bae, he loves that job... Is it just me or does it vaguely look like that's him in there? lol. XD

I think the problem with casters and why they only appear as support in trailers is that they're to stationary.
Even RDM is 70% standing still and casting. Meanwhile the other jobs can move and attack.

I feel like RDM has a decent shot at being one of the next cinematic jobs. It fits a theme of balancing light and dark, which would fit an expansion after Shadowbringers, and has a lot of impressive flourishes to make a flashy cinematic. Though they might just go Paladin to go for that Cecil feel.
