How Many Would Have Rather Seen RDM than SMN

[Mijin]

based on this RDM seems like it would be the next logical choice.

Yes Se should base their judgement on 186 ppl and rdm still isn't number 1.

SE should always base their choices on what players want, and I didn't say anything about it being number 1. I'm not saying to go off the poll with 186 people, I'm just saying the poll shows an example of what people want. Please don't blame me for your poor reading comprehension in the future.

SE used a player poll to decide what job to add when they came up with SMN. I'm sure they will use official poll data when they decide what to add next, I'm just saying based on these 186 players, it's fair to make a hypothesis that people also want RDM, and may vote that way in a future official player poll.

You said their next logical choice should be based on that poll.....

Um... the quote is still up there. In two places actually, so it's pretty clear that's not what I said. Is English your first language?

How are you not saying they shouldn't go off the poll? You are basically saying if Se is smart they should go off your poll....

I'm saying:
based on this (what 200+/- forum users said here)
rdm seems like it would be the next logical choice (based on my pole seems like players would vote for RDM in an official pole)

There is a limit to how far you can take peoples words out of context for the sake of argument. At first I thought you were just trolling me, but then I went back and read some of your other posts, and now (sadly) I'm convinced you're actually serious. If you're that confused about what I said just drop the argument, and in the future don't make snide remarks until your fully read someones post. There was no reason for you to get all worked up in the first place.

i dont know what should be so exciting new about a red mage. i am happy, that with the SMN a pet system will be introduced.. and that is INDEED something new..

i think the red mage role is not really needed, when there is already a whm/blm in the game. a redmage would just be an extra for the redmage lovers.. who enjoy to do all at once.

Here are a few things to take into consideration. The following is taken from the third (and last) player poll that concluded on march 26th of this year:

==Battle System and Combat Classes==
Q1. What type of jobs/classes would you most like to see added? (Up to 2 answers allowed) *
A. An assassin-type class that uses lethal and stealthy attacks. (ex. Ninja, Thief, etc.)
B. One that controls and fights alongside a pet or avatar. (ex. Summoner, Puppetmaster, etc.)
C. A new type of magic-user that uses enfeebling magic and close-range attacks. (ex. Red Mage, etc.)
D. A new type of fighter that uses enfeebling attacks and inflicts special damage. (ex. Dark Knight, etc.)
E. An original class unlike any of those described above. (ex. Musketeer, Arithmetician, etc.)

This pole allowed you to pick two choices, the poll results were never posted. I assume this was so that people wouldn't know what jobs they were intending to release.

The following here is taken from a fan translation of the recent interview with Yoshi-P during the 25th anniversary event (the same interview where they announced smn):

Host: But what about people who are already level 50?
Yoshi-p: They can look forward to the high level content we announced, and there are still some unannounced contents, such as raids, and new classes, chocobo raising, and other stuff.

If this is to be interpreted as they have already decided on which jobs/classes they will be releasing first (which is how I interpret it) then based on the jobs offered on the march player poll, and the results of Mijin's poll, it may be a possibility that they are already planning on adding RDM in the very near future, if not with the release of 2.0. Of course this is purely speculative, and we cant be sure that the poll results match (even though they probably do.) However I think this is enough evidence to form a plausible hypothesis that they may already be planing of releasing RDM.

Not saying it's going to happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did is all.

hate to say it but i see them bringing back dark knight or blue mage before red mage.. a red mage might be a jack of all trades.. but they get no master white or black magic making them sub par in that catagory.. and since they were to master enfeebs and enhance magic everyone gets their own enhance abilities to some degree and bard does enhancement... and enfeebs and dots are going to summoner.. i see no need with the current class setup for red mage unless they bring back all elemental armors and weapon spells for damage boosting, preventing, dots, etc.. red mage is useless
