I wish we had another expansion with three jobs.

I know they likely won’t ever do this, but I miss the way it was in Heavensward. Even if all three were DPS, it would still be cool.

They are running out of classic jobs though, and I think that to pad it out long term, the two jobs per expansion probably helps them. Realistically all we got left is:

- Chemist
- Geomancer
- Corsair/Pirate
- Cannoneer
- Oracle
- Ranger
- Rune Fencer/Spellblade/Rune Knight
- Pictomancer (though was it even a job? It was a one off thing in FFVI)
- Beastmaster
- Necromancer
- Knight
- Hawkeye/Shaman (uses axes)
- Could be more I overlooked, so don’t judge me if your favorite classic job isn’t there.

And these aren’t the very strange but interesting Ivalice jobs that could be pulled from.

Though the reason I think three jobs should come out per expansion, isn’t just to bring back old jobs. I think the first two should be classic jobs, but the third should be completely original. Would be great for a mixture of fan service, and with the edition of a brand new job to the series.

It will be difficult to get a third job again, quite frankly I am amazed they keep up the pace of two jobs per expansion since they also need to work on specific job reworks and the expansion-level job adjustments and creating new skills.

This is why I hope after we get female Hrothgar, and all the graphical updates done, it gives room on the devs plate for cool things like this,

It will continuously get harder to add more jobs and keeping them A balanced to other jobs and B feel unique. I also believe they already said we get no more healer as their balance is just beyond delicate. Adding 1-2 Dps per expansion could be the new norm.

I would like to see a totally original job from the dev team I think it would be super nice, but I also think that if we had 3 jobs per expansions all the time it would just lead to more and more balancing issues.
Balancing jobs is quite difficult so I am worried that increasing the number of new jobs too quickly would be quite problematic.
So I would rather the team spend more time to make sure that each job has its own identity and interesting playstyle while remaining balanced to a certain degree.

I am curious to know other people's opinion though.

I don’t mean all the time. If they did it every other expansion that would still be cool. I just want to see them surprise us with new things that break the formula a bit.

I think the difficulty here is that as you increase the number of job, you necessarily end up with less players playing each one for a long time (as people change what they consider their "main" and such). As a result, the amount of dev time that could be spent on thinking of a new job, implementing it, and then balancing it against all the other jobs, could probably be better used making new playable content which anyone can enjoy on any existing job.

One way I could see a third job being announced is if they announce a new limited job alongside blue mage.
That could be interesting I think. ＾＾

Personally i'd take 1 job in an expansion where we get a massive overhaul to job identity so we don't have the 2 min meta, drk and warrior being too similar, the healers being horrible to play and so on

I never want another limited job, unless they have a real job mode that makes them usable in regular duties. It would have to be a locked in group of actions to make it fair though.
