Would you rather have Corsair and Geomancer instead of Viper and Pictomancer?

Corsair using sword and pistol, Geomancer using dual bells
Yes or no?

im not for ur idea of corsair. instead i want more of a traditional gambler/lady luck job with a pistol on it. as for geomancer. couldnt care less. i wanted artist the minute i found out it was a possibility and its something this game needs.

Corsair and Pictomancer.

Geomancer would be neat, but I like what we're getting. Corsair was just a pirate themed gambler, and any gambler class would probably *have* to be a limited job because of random elements. (That said, I'd love a Gambler limited job. It would go nicely with my Setzer jacket from Gold Saucer.)

Before viper was revealed I was hoping we would get corsair and was hoping for beastmaster or puppetmaster as the 2nd job. Beastmaster end up being the limited job unfortunately but ill most likely still play viper and pictomacer and either main them or at least play them a lot.

FFXI's Corsair was kind of both. Since that game had separate slots for melee and ranged weapons the Corsairs had a sword/knife as a melee and their job exclusive hexaguns for ranged paired luck/rng based skills. Their hexagun not having anything to do with magic. It was just an odd type of blackpowder style pistol that had wide barrel with 6 holes in a hexagon pattern.

GEO in FFXIV's lore is just the Far Eastern version of CNJ with some AST thrown in for good measure anyway,

Lore is never a good excuse to not do something. Like male miqo'te/viera being "too rare" to play as.

Could easily just have the job trainer NPC be like "oh I'm from Tural/Meracydia/wherever and this is what we call a Geomancer" and have it not fit the existing awful lore from the terrible AST quests.

I'm super happy we got Viper over corsair. I was going to swap to the new melee no matter what, but at least Viper fits the style I've wanted to play in FFXIV since 2.x. I never really wanted to play a pirate job, so I'm really happy that isn't the job that was revealed. Playing an Assassin/Rogue is what I've wanted to do since I started, and Ninja just never really fit the style. So yeah I'm completely satisfied as far as the reveal goes.


I don't really play mages but Pictomancer is more or less what I expected from the turtle hint. No surprises there for me , I was never attached to green mage, because I don't feel like green mage has a very strong identity in the series. I was honestly really surprised that green mage was what everyone expected, but there were some good theories out there. I'm also somewhat tired of [insert color here] mage.

But again I don't really play mages so I don't have a strong feeling one way or another, but Pictomancer definitely looks interesting so far.

No..........

At this point it's funny because Yoshi often does the unexpected and it turns out fine or even great but everyone is like...my rp! My head canon lore! Like man, don't plan out new characters or rp job stories for your characters ahead of time. I mean it's Zidane and Realm turned into jobs, practically anyone who says they expected that is lying.

This is like some kind of bonkers FFXIV tradition at this point, it has happened so often and in a bunch of ways and it turns out fine but drives people crazy in the mean time. I still think White Mage should have been based out of Uldah and the temples of Nald and Thal. It just seems to me like it would have been a better fit for the lore, they even have a twin deity with twin temples. And Corsair was such a tease really going all the way back to those 1.0 cutscenes with the sideways pistol and the musketeer's guild we never got. And where's my necromancer instead of Reaper? I had a lalafell character with a profitable necromancy business all planned out mwahahaha.

Fantasia into a Miqo or Hroth and be a Nekomancer :P
