Thief, Musketeer, Dark Knight, and Arcanist

[RissotoMissoto]

Considering that Gladiator already has Knives / daggers available as a weapon set, THF would make more sense coming from there, if you ask me. Although, that said, THF with tanking abilities is kind of peculiar.

I could see DRK coming from marauder since great axe -> scythe isn't a big stretch (if you follow ffxi's model)

Arcanist would be all around nifty, aspecialy if it became a Time Mage.

Personaly, I'd like the job system to branch out more as a whole, and maybe include dual-armory jobs such as CNJ+THM for Red Mage, maybe ARC+GLD for THF? THM+GLD Mystic knight? x3 En-spells hee hee.

They did already say Red Mage for example would be a Job + Job type of scenario.

I think before we get RDM we need a fencer class.

heres what im wondering

i know that DRK always used a sword in most of the franchise but i really did feel a Scythe is much more fitting and felt the general over all idea of DRK in XI was perfect from weapon to abilities.

so im wondering, if it comes from PLD, are they gonna retain the sword thing or are they gonna go the scythe rout?

i REALLY REALLY prefer scythes for DRK

Scythes are used by Botanists.

Hmm, you raise a good point and I'd have to say that I agree.

I might just be in the minority here...but I still think the idea of classes and jobs just seems redundant...we have alrdy defined the roles that the classes play...we don't need jobs to do that...and the classes are flexible enough as they are, I mean what exactly is the difference between a cnj concentrating on healing as opposed to a whm...they're both going to do the same thing...I won't invite a cnj to dd or be a magic dd...because thats not where it strengths are...
I do think a system like FFT/FFTA would work extremely well or just giving classes all of these job abilities...But like I said I'm prob in the minority here.

I bought the CE at release and quit after a few weeks. I came back last week and I'm impressed at how much the game has improved, however......

I am still not a fan of the "armory system" (why there is so much to-do about weapon swap = job swap is beyond me). When I'm out and about, people are switching jobs on the spot constantly and it's hard to identify that person with a job. Even XI (pre-Abyssea) didn't really have this problem. So I'm actually FOR having to make a choice between DRK and PLD. That said, there should be a lore-heavy, epic quest that takes you on a journey to the opposite job.

I think that is more of an issue with your mindset and gaming background then in actual problem with the game. Once you acclimate yourself to XIV, you'll stop needing to identify a person with just one job and start thinking of them more as a Swiss Army Knife.
