Predictions for job(s) in the next expansion?

Magus Job!

Homage to Chrono Trigger, named after the character who wields a scythe. Magic/melee dps whose combat animations come from that game.

Calling it here folks.

I'm guessing that it will be linked in to Thavnair in some way, given what we know about Endwalker's new city. There's also a Thavnarian consulate sitting in Kugane that looks like it's itching to give out a new job teaser in the lead-up to the expansion.

There are plenty of purely physical melee dps jobs at present. A scythe-wielding Mystic Knight who augments their attacks with magic (or even a touch of Thavnarian alchemy) would be a different spin that we don't have in game yet. A melee range Geomancer using a scythe in the same vein as GW1's Dervish could be another approach. Should help appease those people who keep asking for FFXI's DRK back.

Given the mercantile nature of Thavnair, I would have much preferred to see a cross between Bravely Default's merchant and salve-maker as the next healing job, but they took the easy route out.

It's funny because Magus is also the name of a spellsword class in Pathfinder tabletop games.

Doubt it would be called that, but basing its artifact armor on Magus on the other hand.....

I don't think Reaper is the next classe. The way Naoki Yoshida showed the T-shirt was way too explicit. That not like him at all.

For every theory i've seen on the internet for the Melee job, I guess Templar could be a good candidate. Let me explain my point on every class.

Corsair : First thing, Corsair aren't supposed to battle in Heavy Armor, because the new class will share some of the DRG's armor. Beside that, Naoki Yoshida announced that the job will be completely new. (If you go to Limsa outside the Marauder guild, you'll see what remains from the Corsair that should have come into the game. A flag is here.) Because Corsair is "already" in, it's not new, so I think Corsair won't come out. Beside that, Corsair usually battle with Gun and Sword... Gunbreaker actually have both in the same weapon, and Machinist use Gun. A third job with this will make it redundant. (Weapon : Sword and Gun)

Reaper : Reaper "could" be the next job, but not because Zenos wield a new weapon that could be a Scythe. The reasons I'll use to dismiss Reaper is that a Scythe is somewhat similar to a Spear. It's a two handed weapon with a blade on top of it. A reaper in Heavy Armor ? Why not ? Could be something cool actually. But the way Naoki Yoshida actually give us "information" could mislead us to this. (Weapon : Scythe)

Templar : Because of many search of information behind the Shirt of Naoki Yoshida, Templar actually got a spot to be a good candidate.Templar is usually a Knight with religious background (Ishgard Related ?) and that make it different from a Paladin. In FF Series, Templar are usually a Unique classe, and they are related to the Vangaa (the Lizardman who sides with Fran in FF14). In Tactics, Beowulf Cadmus and Aliste Rosenheim are Templar using Sword to deal magic damage and are somewhat similar to a Mystic Knight (Weapon : Runeblade ?). And what if Aymeric is a Mystic Knight ?

Other Theorie I've seen so far :

Judge : Not actually a Job in any FF Series EXCEPT ONE : FF Brave Exvius. Indeed, Some character from FF12 have the "Judge" Job attached to them. Judge have great ability in Combat but also in Magic. They can use almost any magic they want if they are skilled enough and use Heavy Armor all the time. We got the Judge armor from FF12 with the Delubrum Reginae. That could be a good hint. Even in a Cutscene we've seen Gabranth unsheating his weapon ! (Weapon : Long and Short Sword Dual wielding ?)

[Kalaam]

Well...Aymeric IS the Commander if the Temple Knights.... >.>
Though that would be kind of like with Corsair and the job being "already in the game".

[Ralph2449]

Considering it is using maining armor plus more than likely uses a Scythe I am guessing whatever Ran'jit was could be a likely candidate, and do we even know where he is from or where he learned his art?

Cuz Zenos would probably be heavily interested in the foreign arts, especially ones that managed to beat the WoL albeit only at the start.

[Kalaam]

Not sure Zenos would be even aware of Ran'jit existence.

[TabrisOmbrelame]

Pretty sure is not.

Ran'jit had something in common with Golbez (See the dragon with him). Zenos wouldn't count on a creature to help him. Maybe the weapon will be the same, but the style will be different.

Right now I'm on the team that we'll probably get a brand new job concept and name to the FF series and the only thing we know so far about it being the weapon Sycthe and I'd probably bet on the flavor being a melee void magic user.
