Is FFXIV hinting Berserker, Necromancer, and Chemist next expansion?

Yes, there is a warrior close to a berserk, but its a Tank. A berserk can be a class with to heavy weapons, slow, no amror, but heavy hitting.
Or he can be like the Marauder from Warhammer Online with weapons connected to his body. A litte bit dark...but we have a darkknight ingame.^^

Except in 14 Dark Knights are more Paladins than Paladins themselves, they do what's right for the innocent rules be damned, hardly "evil" caked in edge? absolutely but they're portrayed as good, same with the rouges, they're pretty much a branch of the city sent to protect it when you need someone not afraid to dirty their hands. I suppose they could have done a Robin Hood style thief but, they go well out of their way in 14 to ensure any job we can play strictly has some rhyme or reason for why the expressly use their abilities for only good.

What you talking about theifs have been ff main heros for years.. and we can Literally play dark knight so...

Lock from ff6-zidane from ff9-rikku/yuffie, ff10-2 its a sphere. Vaan starts out as a basic theif.

Yes, which is why I said in FF XIV they chose the term Rogue rather than the iconic term Thief, iconic relating to how they used thief in many other FF titles. But it was simply a decision of the FF XIV Team, Thief being unfitting for a WoL. And as far as Dark Knight is concerned, that has been explained rather well by BlitzAceRush.

I'm not keen on necromancy for a job even if it's only raising skeletons and mindless zombies. It's been done to death by so many games and it contradicts the whole WoL/WoD archetype. What I'd love to see is a crossover with Ascian creationism magic where we either create monsters to fight at our side or enthrall beasts to fight at our side, both for a limited time to avoid a permanent pet-type job. Also creation magic is a very powerful concept with a lot of room to wiggle and create unique job abilities both single target and AOE and within the existing lore.

This game's Warrior is basically Berserker, Necromancer would not make sense at all in this game's lore (which kinda goes out of its way to say necromancy is a Bad Thing), and we already have Alchemist as a crafter.

So no, I wouldn't say it's hinting at any of them.

But God id kill for a real berserker .. not a warrior with a berserk trait.

Have you even done any of the Warrior job quests? There's far more of a "berserker" quality to the class than simply having an ability called Berserk.

Chemist, Judge or Time Mage are my guesses.

Chemist was referenced pretty heavy handedly in the latest patch.

Judge is going to become more relevant as the Bozja content progresses, given that the primary villain is a judge. Would keep an eye out to see if that character gets unique combat animations when he inevitably appears in a solo-duty. Could be a new plate-wearing maiming dps, so that DRG finally has company.

As for Time Mage; some time-related abilities were sort of pruned out of AST's kit, and they've introduced a new character in the Eden raids that seems to use time-related magic.

Who knows. Maybe we'll get another leak.

[RicaRuin]

I'm not really sure whether Gaia should be used as a hint for time mage. Her powers could very well be NPc specific to her and simply be meant for the parallel to Ultimicia/the FF VIII nostalgia.

Fascinating how many people can immediately point to berserker as a new job but i looked at it in a different way.

What if it’s foreshadowing a major warrior rework. DRK fills in the space where warrior was and warrior takes on a new playstyle.

[Allegor]

Berserker and Necromancer are highly unlikely, one is literally a job we already have but with a different name and the other is...controversial, to say the least. Chemist was definitely teased, even if we have Alchemist. I mean, I could say GNB is just melee MCH, yet both exist and are very different.

That said, tbh I still have hopes of seeing Geomancer, just because I have preference to fantasy over sci fi.

[Lihtleita]

i mean you could spin necromancy as saving lives by using the dead for dangerous work or go with the classic meaning of necromancy which is simply being able to talk to the dead
