Thoughts on Viper?

[LilimoLimomo]

I enjoyed the Viper reveal because it gave me a big laugh with my spouse, especially when they announced the name. Randomly saying "VIPERRRR!" is the joke of the day in my household.

I'm personally surprised that they decided to announce the class without showing off anything that would really wow players. All they revealed was the name and the fact that there are two swords that become a swallow; maybe that's enough to excite some players, but it made me think that the class's design isn't anywhere close to finished so they didn't have anything else they were ready to commit to. Maybe it'll be fun to play once it's in our hands, but this feels like the most lackluster reveal of an FF14 class I've ever seen.

Also genuinely surprised that they didn't reveal Green Mage when they've already indicated in-game that it's the caster DPS. But maybe that class is even less finished than Viper?

Think they wanted to reveal more of the trailer, and if they didn't reveal Viper it would still confuse people, especially now since it's the poster job for DawnTrail.
Like Gunbreaker they gave us a teaser video, we didn't learn much else until near release if memory servers. Hope we can do more besides slashy-slash, still I'm down for this because I'm big into dual wielding swords in many games.
