    We're only going to get one job and it'll probably be a caster DPS and people will all be outraged. I also doubt we'll get any new races.

    By default it's going to cause outrage even though it's clear at this point this game is trying to slowly water down expectations.

    Nah... It will be a new melee job that exclusively deals magic damage and uses a new INT based melee set.

    Then you'll have that group of players crying "Why no new mage job?! Role is being ignored!"

    Followed by SE going "We added a new ranged DPS job back in Shadowbringers"

    And then said group of players: "But... but... Mage isn't ranged DPS"

    TBH the comments made awhile back about them apparently not using jobs from previous FF games going forward raises some questions. However the primary thoughts are the following.

    Does this mean we're going to see some entirely brand new jobs in the future that possibly come with new weapons we haven't seen in the franchise before?

    And does this mean that jobs from non FF titles in SE's library that featured job systems are fair game?

    Nah, Casters by and large don't go on covers because they don't sell units. Same reason they'll never put a healer on the cover.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    As has been said, there wont be any new races after Fem Hrothgar come out. Has been stated more than a few times.
