Geomancer, Do you want it?

Not talking about xi. Talking about GEO in ARR.

Well, let's see what your topic is saying...

Topic: Geomancer

This is probably the coolest class in the FF series and does not get enough recognition. I think Geomancer should be added in ARR during the second wave of new jobs. I have some ideas and sketches in my head that i may post later but for now i am curious to see how many actually want Geomancer. I understand that many are looking forward to Samurai, Ninja, Theif, Corsair and what have you, but lets have a Geomancer thread.

That's all what you can explain about Geomancer...? Oh, it's your fault for putting other jobs into this thread so we were screaming for Red Mage.

It's partly why SE said there's no current plans for Blue Mage, since Blue Mage and Geomancer are the two unique mages that tend to have some difficulties in design.

Elexia is correct, it's hard for SE to think what to do with ARR. For Blue Mage, it's so not ready yet even we need more monster's skills first before they can do that.

Now back to the topic. I just researched and tried to understand what the hell would that Geomancer affect the online experience?

ge·o·man·cy

Noun
Divination from configurations seen in a handful of earth thrown on the ground, or by interpreting lines or textures on the ground.

This... Hmm... It would be annoying if you (as a Geomancer) can change the ground even without our permission. I think it would be a good idea for instanced dungeons. Like it's impossible to walk through the lava so you can change it to (freeze one...?)

Or whatever mobs's weakness (fire for example) you can change the ground/weather from winter to summer!

That's all what I can think. =/

You're very snippy, aren't you? As I recall, Geomancer was my favorite class in FF3. It's a mage class whose abilities not only depend upon it's level, but also upon what kind of terrain or weather is going on. So it's abilities change depending on the area and upon what ground it's standing. It's very interesting and tactically challenging that way.

Care to toss me a link to YouTube? I am about to give up with this thread.

Well there aren't many videos that directly showcase a geomancer, as it's a strangely little-known class that seems to have been neglected since the earlier games. Though it is in 3, 5, and Tactics, at least.

http://youtu.be/orjmXtTMG98?t=1m25s <~Not much, but you can at least see the Geomancer attack here? He's the guy with the bells for weapons and dressed in blue.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hba1vz_kjJ4 This guy is soloing the whole game of Tactics as Geomancer.

But really the BEST way to get a grasp for how Geomancer works is to use it yourself. Maybe that's why it's weirdly unpopular...
