What kind of jobs do you want in 7.0?

[BasicBlake]

You have Summoner literally casting aoe wind and earth spells using magical rocks.

I don't understand why people still think Geomancer would actually contribute to job diversity at this point. SMN basically stole their niche with the EW overhaul.

Propose something we *don't* already have, like say a caster that uses primarily water- or light-based spells.

(Same thing for everyone proposing Rune/Mystic Knights when we have RDM (enchanted blade), SAM (wind/ice imbuement), GNB (fire/lightning imbuement), DRK (darkness imbuement), and PLD (light imbuement)).

Geomancer is more focused on Feng Shui rather than “elements” in this version. From what they have shown so far this expansion it’s gonna be heavily talisman based. Will it have filler stone/wind/water spells? Yeah. We don’t have anyone mailing them anymore, there is no way we just keep getting blizzard and fire while stone/aero are left in leveling roulette.

If the only functional difference between GEO and SMN is a few water spells versus fire spells, I don't think that's a sufficiently strong case to introduce a GEO job. Not to mention I don't know why you would call it a "Geomancer" if it primarily used wind and water spells but no real earth spell focus. The feng shui connection works for theming enemies in a dungeon, but becomes pretty thin when you try to translate it to a job arsenal alongside SMN which now has 2/3 of their expected kit.

Idk, the whole idea is too convoluted to me. One, because I wouldn't call a "wind-and-water" mage a geomancer just to toe the lore line. And two, because the lore itself is all over the place between whether they are Eastern AST, Eastern WHM, or something else entirely.

As far as I can tell, Swallow's Compass was a deliberate concession that the devs believed Geomancer didn't have much potential as a job. At the time, CNJ/WHM had a similar spellkit, and even as we have phased out Aero/Stone, Summoner just came right back in to take up all that freed up design space. At this point I don't want the devs to cram another earth/wind job down our throats when there are less elementally-restricted concepts they could be designing. Nor would I really want the creativity of Swallow's Compass to be diluted by allowing us to play GEO vs. Geomancers.

It could happen though. People miss the Stone/Aero White Mage. I could maybe swallow a GEO more if it were made a DPS-y Healer instead of a DPS.

The class is actually called “Feng Shui warrior”, Geomancer is the English name for the class. So there is precedent for it.

Would love if we get Puppet and Beastmasters.

[Rombus]

I’m still waiting for the Musketeer Guild in Limsa to start accepting adventurers again.

[Soge01]

Golemancer. There is already lore of their existence in Amdapoor. So why not?

[ElizanderNorisse]

How can I forget the Corsair! We may have machinist which I very much like but having another firearms would be nice.

[Midlithe]

Something that uses some of the levels in the Grand Company that are still unobtainable.

[ElizanderNorisse]

Some things I would like to see:
-A more whimsical Puppetmaster (that isn't a limited job)
-Mascot from X-2 >w>
-Green Mage
-A job that uses nature magic (seeing as WHM is now a light user now)
-A whip using job
-A crossbow using job
-A job from the Fae on the First
-More rarely used jobs in FF's history or jobs that are unique to characters from past FFs

I’ll admit I also wanted a whip job haha! I thought blue mage would have it like Quistis from FFVIII but alas. I wonder what job it would be.

[TheRealMadruck]

Only one job needs to be added in which I hope they do not foolishly make limited...
Beastmaster.

I agree! That would be quite constricting. :/
