New Job: Viper

[SeverianLyonesse]

Thought the trailer was alright. I liked the animations but it suffers not having an immediately apparent hook. Like, reaper has a lot you could put together just from the name and the animations in the reveal trailer, despite that reveal trailer being notable worse than this one. Sage also kind of a lore blackhole like Viper is, but at least you could immediately latch on to LAZER HEALER :O or the gundam reference and have something. Viper evokes poisons and maybe sneakiness and neither were apparent in the trailer shown. Aesthetically it's a good look but it just reads as generic sneak man. Maybe an assassin's creed knock off with the hood which isn't all that compelling.

I am sure this stuff will all come together much closer to launch but for this trailer, it did not pull me towards the class much as a career melee dps.

I feel like this would have been named "Hunter" or "Ranger", but for (a) wanting to not draw too much association away from Zidane and (b) wanting a someone more eye-grabbing name.

I still think it should have been called Hunter or Ranger. Even Swashbuckler would have been okay. Duelist. Dervish. Shikari. Troubadour. Esper. Genome. Trancer.

Viper is a very specific and edgelord name. If this job isn't a poison/DoT class then imo it is completely the wrong name.

Oh wait guys. Guys. I gotta revise.

It's...the Kill Bill job.
