Archanist Question(s)

[Cedri]

Just wanted to pop in and answer the question about "unlocking" arcanist -- You won't need to fulfill any requirements in order to be able to play as an arcanist.

+1 to the cat rep!

[Antanias]

Will this apply to any future classes released for A Realm Reborn?

Can we use Arcanist in Phase 3?

They won't be able to tell us that so soon. And by the looks of it, we probably won't get summoner at release. They have mentioned nothing about arcanist and today rukkrii only spoke about it...

Summoner is technically a job if it's gonna work the same way classes/jobs did back in 1.0. It's base class, Arcanist, is what I was referring to.

Excellent! Thanks a bunch Rukkirii, this answers my question!

Just putting it on the list would be a massive cop out. I'm sorry folks, but that's just lazy, especially considering the size of the team they have right now.

wait... what? You mean allowing it to be a starting class?

Just tossing every new class into the list of buyable weapons and starting cities. Like Ronin/Parivir (-> Samurai) in Limsa.

If they make a new zone they can add the weapons to those zones but then they become like "advanced classes" because they are only located within one city instead of all.

Since the level 1 weapon is rare/ex - unq/unt you'd have to go to that zone to get the class "unlocked".

Lore wise just adding a job that didn't exist in the city is kind of shakey, so that's why a new zone is good - but then as I said your introducing oddities like "advanced class". Also you need a guild, I think you can fit Arcanist into one of the existing cities but not all these jobs will make sense or have room (the "5 year gap" can help explain this new job, but other jobs cant use this logic). Musketeer is another one that is ready to go *guild already in limsa*.

FFT.. "job system".. broken record preaching, gtfo armory system.. lol

Edit:

You could make each zone only sell the weapons they have a guild for - in that way there is a consistency when you add new classes that adds decent sense. (Would mean limited class access early on though..). Also Felis on the next page has a good lore quote for Arcanist.

I see so we can assume it will be available as a starting class...

yep seeing how there a guild for it then ya you can start it up :0
