Predictions for job(s) in the next expansion?

[Craiger]

They could do pretty much anything even if it's based on Sice.

Absorbing malice when killing obviously doesn't work, so they can change that to anything really. Not that I can think of many ways other than what others have mentioned here. (Need better imagination)

Everything else for Sice is just "does damage" either on a target or aoe, or has elements that doesn't work in FFXIV (like pulling in enemies).

As for losing malice when taking damage... Well, that's the kind of mechanic I think they would never add to any job. They are already trying to negate the few weaknesses certain jobs have in different situations, and having a job that is so dependent on the fight mechanics... That's not happening.

Also, it would be way to punishing for you to lose a lot of malice from damage, like, way way to harsh considering how they have raised the skill floor in the past.

If it only makes you lose a little malice, then it most likely wouldn't make sense to dump it all (wild speculations here) every couple of seconds (yes you often are hit very frequently). Instead it would just become a punishment for being in a specific fight, and it doesn't sound fun at all. A punishing mechanic should at the very least be interesting and fun.

Edit: They could at least make it a little different to something like kenki for SAM, by not having a requirement for malice built up, to use the abilities, and the damage is then based on how much malice you have.

That could make things feel more smooth when trying to adapt before or after boss jumps or something.

If there was Malice, maybe as you build it up you get a damage buff (let's say it goes from 1 to 100, you gain 1% per 10 of malice), but overflowing would give you something like vuln-stacks.
You'd have some skills that "purge" part of, or all Malice. So you could use them regularly when you get close to 100 to avoid being vulnerable, and overflow during burst phase or openings while hoping you have time to use a purge skill before a big attack comes your way.

The gastronomy critic in Ratatouille is nicknamed "the Grim Eater" hence the new job IS judge because he is someone who JUDGES things.

You're welcome.

A few observations:
1. Clearly there are a number of FF4 references implied for Endwalker.
2. Essentially, every job in FF4 will be represented with the inclusion of Sage (Tellah/FuSoYa), save Golbez, a heavy armor-wearing mage.
3. Does anyone else see a striking resemblance of the Law’s Order DRG set to Golbez’s armor?

My current speculation: Mage Knight

So far, Reaper is the first expectation, Templar the second. (Judge the third and we have the best theories)
Golbez indeed fits the armor and possible melee gameplay, he's a mage but also efficient at melee.

But there's problems with this theory:
-What weapon? Golbez shadow dragon would be a big doubt due to how much resources SQEX would need to produce one.
-How is it related to the shirt? Golbez may have cheated death but he's not directly related to it.

I think we are already served with IV reference, the main character is a PLD that comes from DRK, one ally is a dragoon, the travel to the moon... At most we'll get the 4 Fiends but I doubt it'll go further.

The shirts could be referring to Ranjit whose character design in boss form is based off Golbez.

We already know Ranjit uses a scythe

This and internally they called Ranjit assassin grandpa and assassins are known for death.

Honestly it probably wouldn't be that many resoruces since they already have a model for a noodle serpent so its possible. Just throw a scythe on that bad boy and bang.

i've been imagining they could just have the serpent attack as like joint attacks for the job actions and such like the Assist type kinsects from monster hunter world (weird comparison i know but if you see it you'd understand)
