Am i the only one counting down the days for new melee job/zenos weapon reveal?

*Oh who am I kidding? If WoL is going to scythe opponents, it'll be ridiculously proactive.

*BLM in quest* "We must safeguard the knowledge and use destruction to help!"
*BLM in battle* "EXPLOSION!" *sounds of immense destruction, screaming, begging and maniacal laughter.*

I'm looking forward to it, but not counting the time between the seconds or anything.

A lot of people say it will be a scythe. I'd be cool with that.

I'd also be cool with it being a khopesh (a sickle sword). Khopeshes are based off of the epsilon axe, and they were historically used to great effect for breaking the weaker, flimsier shields of the time. I think.

I mean, surely a lot of people would be disappointed by yet another sword job, but hey, the WoL is taking up PLD. The job with a shield. Would make great sense for Zenos to take up a khopesh, in the name of breaking that shield.

I am hyped aswell, a part of me is hoping for a magical melee dps.

I'll be honest although we have scythes in the game as a secondary crafting tool I would be quite suprised if the new job DIDNT use scythes as a main weapon. Theres too many hints there for it to not be a scythe or death themed job though it thematically would likely be a job that is based around helping bring peace to souls or helping to release them to the aetherial sea. We'll know what it is in a week!

I like FF14, so I'm looking forward to seeing what the new class is, but I'm very unlikely to play it over my current main, NIN, and I remain a bit skeptical that adding more classes is better than adding more content for current classes (RIP class quests).

[Kozh]

I'm hyped for it too!

Like others, my bet is that the new job, whatever is is, will use scythe as weapon. Though not gonna lie, I'm a bit sad that mystic knight is pretty unlikely. I love rdm, but I prefer melee over caster XD

Seraph of the End has a scene in a room where lots of weapons are stuck to the ground. I wonder if it is a reference. There is a scythe using character in it too.

That scene with Zenos and Fandaniel at the end of 5.5 is designed to mirror an earlier scene in Stormblood in which Zenos picks up a new weapon (katana) with Asahi (who Fandaniel looks like for obvious reasons) looking on. Zenos looks the most like a 'Reaper' there emerging from the smoke and the fog with a skull-faced helmet and dark imposing body armor at the 2:45 mark; the weapon he wields during this scene is not a scythe. Zenos has been moving away from the death imagery since then, losing his Garlean skull helmet the moment he got more interested in fighting us then obeying orders from his father.

I’m heavily curious on what the job will be just because if the theories are correct and it is a scythe based job, i hope it’s darker themed to get rid of all the nay sayers saying we can’t have a darker themed job because yoshi p didn’t give us thief

It could be a darker job a la Dark Knight, I just don't see it going so far as to say raise the dead as a necromancer or stray too far from still being heroic.

The DRK storyline was all about self love and moogles teaching you the meaning of friendship.
Doesn't get much darker than that...

I can't wait to see all the new "sage mains" rerolling reaper/insertnewmeleeDPShere next week.
