Why does everyone want Chemist as a new job?

I dunno about the “I can’t think of any other time a job hint has felt so on the nose.”

I mean we have the founder of a nation being a Geomancer, a dungeon dedicated to them, you fight the deity they worship in a trial, there is a quest chain involving them and as of 5.0 there is a school in Kugane teaching people how to be a Geomancer.

This isn’t even involving the mounts, housing items and side quest text in Yanxia.

I can’t see the game implementing this much about a Named Final Fantasy staple class just to..... have it mentioned. It would be the first time in game for sure.

While there's a lot of Geo lore in game right now, most of it is found in sidequests; there's no guarantee that every player would have seen those, so that's something the team would have to take into account if they were to tease the playerbase.

If there's any place where they'd want to drop future Job hints, it'd be in the MSQ because players can't avoid it, which is where Riki-Tio's quest happens to be.
