Split Machinist to Gunner and Engineer

[HeulGDarian]

People seem to want a gun job but don't like MCH for one reason or another. Yet don't seem to realise that Machinist IS the classic Final Fantasy gunner job.

but he isnt the classic ff gunner job. Its current inspiration is from edgar of ff6 , and he wasnt a guy with a gun , he was a womanizer king who loved gadgets , he literally had a castle that could dig inside the earth to travel across the ocean.
To clarify i dont really agree with op , the only thing i want is an actual gun job and i learned recently that musketeer is a cancelled one , the change of direction for current mch gives a good reason to rethink that decision , and i dont see the harm on asking to have an actual gunner job.


Only thing i read and heavily disagree is the 2 people saying that smn/sch chain was a mistake , something that has been fixed since stormblood, and something that is a selling point for those jobs as well as what makes them so different and more interesting than other jobs. but nooooooo lets keep beating a dead horse and crucify both jobs , look what happened in shadowbringers both suffer cause summoner lost aetherflow and sch lost the dps spells he shared. but nope its their fault for being chained together , we cant have nice things it was a mistake cause heavensward existed and people havent heard of traits, lets keep trying to destroy it.

For smn/sch the shared base class caused sever balancing issues, and FF14 borrows a lot of lore from the Ivalice Alliance games with the flare of Irvine and "the man with a machinegun" from FF8

And, most of these job split suggestions are usually just unimaginative pigeon-holding or like really boring like "pure-healer" is
