These Are One Of The Weapons For The New 8.0 Job!

He WAS wearing a shirt with Hildibrand and Nashu on it. Maybe it’s a bomb throwing job based on Nashu for the ranged dps. Maybe Bombardier.

I think crossbow is the most realistic one, and I can see that fitting the new evolved combat style over really anything else. It's an obvious fantasy that XIV doesn't really have yet. I'm going with crossbow here with the ability to change ammo types with more reactive gameplay, if evolved combat is anything to go by.

Please forget about the Blitzball...

agreed.

blitzball was cancer

Yo-Yo sounds hilarious, I hope it's that.

Crossbow - Maybe we'll have hunter?

Hammer - That's my bet for new Tank's weapon.

Gun and Sword - Gunblade? Again?

Flail - Mace-class weapo would be interesting

Bomb - I doubt. But I'll be forced to cosplay Klee if that's a thing.

Yo-Yo and Whip - I can't see that. Specially whip, that at previous final fantasy games was always a dancer weapon.

gun and sword doesn't = gunblade. are you high?


that's literally corsair, the class people thought viper was going to be.

Bombs. Different from the other options and the class would probably be heavy into Goblin lore.

Crossbow - Already have Mechanist and Bard
Hammer - Big hammer is basically Warrior and you can get one in the shop for all the 2h classes. Little hammer is limted in what you can do with it visually.
Gun and Sword - Temu Gunbreaker
Flail - Pain to animate
Yo-Yo - Stupid
Whip - Big pain to animate

Coming back to this thread, it'd have to be the same thing but in eorezan terminology and how it changed.

Like for crossbows, it can't be ranger, as that is a preexisting job. But it could be like how viper is to rogue in being a spiritual successor. So something simplistic like "hunter".

For gun and sword, that is easy, it'd likely be called privateer. As the only pirates left are outlaws who don't want to follow Merlwyb's Galladion Accord. Any who did agree with her would be sanctioned and therefore be privateers.

I can kind of see gun + sword, go for a bloodborne inspired ranged physical DPS that plays similar to Red Mage with the back and forth attacks.

Though it could just be crossbow + sword so MCHs don't get too upset.

Unless it's both a gun AND a sword that happens to fire actual rounds. I can't recall but doesn't Lightning's original weapon fit that description?
