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

[TheMightyMollusk]

Unfortunately Judge is already taken - it's what the GMs are (their gear is literally called 'Judge' gear - Yoshi's alter ego The Wandering Minstrel also wears the latter attire). This is further reinforced by how in the Garlean Empire the supreme commanders are called 'Legatus' not Judge (despite otherwise being FFXII's Judges in all but name).

Just like Onion gear practically precluding any Onion Knight job in the game, due to the GMs already taking Judge as theirs I don't see Judge appearing as a player Job alas.

I hear their LB3 is The Ban Hammer.

Pretty sure the shirts are just hints at Magus Sisters..

I would have to kinda agree on this. So his shirt is "Death" stating "I'll be here if you need me". So when you think of the magus sisters, they are an aeon or summon technically that you were able to use. This could fall in with the "I'll be here if you need me". As for "Death" itself we associate a scythe. Cindy uses a scythe. Also here is a snip of "lore" ---

"Magus Sisters may be a reference to the Moirai, often known in English as the Fates. The Moirai were the three incarnations of destiny—Clotho (spinner), Lachesis (allotter) and Atropos (literally 'unturnable' but metaphorically 'inflexible' or 'inevitable'—i.e. death)"

Also the Magus Sisters first appearance was FFIV. And what is Endwalker based off of heavily? FFIV. Where do you first fight the Magus Sisters? In the Tower of Zot or in FFXIV instance - one of the Spires that Fandaniel constructed. Although in FFIV it says the Tower of Zot is only accessible by the "Enterprise" because it is speculated to be floating in the sky (Or maybe on the moon?) As for the "Enterprise", in the Endwalker logo that "ship" or w/e it is that we see could be the "Enterprise" we use.

You mean Cid's Enterprise Excelsior which is already the personal airship of the Scions?

[MikkoAkure]

I’m only interested in judge if it goes back to its roots in FFTA and we issue yellow and red cards to both our enemies and our own party members for breaking whatever law we feel like enforcing today.

Zenos used a physical melee skill and killed the WHM? He is now ejected from combat and sent to Moridion Gaol where he can sit and think about what he did.

At the very least I would love if the cards were emotes.

Technically, yes. However he keeps upgrading it or might make something brand new. So it might be possible we see something from the logo.

As of 5.4 we have a new airship to ourselves, complete with manacutters.

2:15 in the trailer announcement. Zenos is clearly holding a Scythe. Next class is Reaper.

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?

Not to mention “I’ll be here if you need me” could be tied to Hythlodaeus’ quote “In time of greatest need, should you wish upon it with all your heart, it will surely answer to your call”. Not Magus Sisters related, but the shirts hint at interesting things.
