I think I have an Idea of the next Melee Class!

Maybe it is just me but Magus sisters being added to the game literally adds nothing for me. It's not exciting news, or sort of news to care about, like Anima being added who is a big deal.

The artwork that may relate magus only makes me think of Ranjit like situation even more since one had an elephant, adding further to that whole Sanskrit potential situation and as you said furies (making a job that is in essence Charon even more likely, The Fates are not like Charon (and they don't guide souls, they weaved fate hence they were called the Fates) - so there isn't an issue that both exist, if anything it supports it since the reference material of Fates obviously has a Charon). Of course other than Charon there is also Thanatos, they have some overlap in duties sometimes (Charon more dedicated guide obviously lol).

Although like I said maybe I missed some legendary aspect about them (perhaps there is a huge fan base out there, to me the Sisters are just goofy characters with minor background stories that have showed up a few times- nothing that interesting). Still seems of a leap over other options, imo.

As for the reaper part not sure where it is hard to imagine, except maybe for the fact it is called reaper? Of course they'd probably call it something else, especially if we're going with all this Middle Eastern / Indian influence (god of death for Indian's is Yama, Cindy in that art work, if that's Cindy, has an elephant head like Ganesh which is not a Yama feature), but the job concept of what a reaper does is noble and good (in the essence of order, duty of psychopomps).

I think this just comes down to you and I have a different opinion on things is all. You don’t think Magus Sisters are a big deal while I don’t think a one time summon in X is a big deal, The Sisters are a FF staple.

And to go off the Arabic ties more, one of them has an attack that is Arabic in name. Not only that, the Matanga are the beast tribe coming to the game, so Cindy showing elephant features I think is probably tied to them and not Ganesh. I think people are putting too much stock in this scythe for a new class is what I am getting at. We’ve never had an expansion in the game that showed a weapon or hint for the secondary classes in the initial teaser, and we haven’t had Yoshi hint the second class on his shirt that first time.

I feel like the player base is turning this into Scythewalker. Ranjit gets a scythe, Zenos has a scythe, Cindy has a scythe, the botanists all have scythes, the people who paid for scythe glamours from the mob stations get a scythe.

Are they just gonna change all the botanist weapons and refund the scythe glamours for the real life money considering they are so strict about nothing sharing a weapon?
