6.0 New Job (Healer: Sage and Melee DPS: ???)

[Mahoukenshi]

Everyone was chanting chemist and we got sage. I'd say its gonna be a original FFXIV class too

Why "too"? Sage is not XIV exclusive. https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Sage_(job)

Regarding the Gundam Wing take on it

To be fair something did happen in the game that seemed to suggest chemist might be a new class. Very often in the past SE introduced new classes by having new npcs as those classes before players could access them. Considering this the miqo child npc who wants to be a traveler who helps others with her alchemy can easily appear to be a teaser about a new type of healer. We have seen this sort of thing before.

At this point I'm wondering if SE made that miqo npc just to fool us into thinking a combat alchemist class was coming, and then would get great joy in our shock at seeing Alphinaud being a healer with weapons we have never seen before and appear to have no relation to alchemy or chemist.

Plot twist the melee dps is the chemist with Dr.Jekyl and Mr. Hyde mutagens!

Yea from what we know of FFXIV's version of Sage, it appears to be nothing like previous incarnations of it in other FF games.

That would actually be really cool! And it actually does sound a bit like the transformation Ran'jit does and he uses a scythe.
