Additional Jobs for the future, a graphic, need help.

I like the idea of Templar, as long as it has a different background and different abilities.

The Paladins were once the elite of the Sultansworn, who vowed to protect their homeland, Ul'dah, and its Sultanate. However, times have changed since the rise of Adventurers. The long period of uneasy peace following the Mor Dhona incident eventually gave the impression to the Sultanate that Paladins were of no use anymore, so they lost jobs and position in Ul'dahn society... until 5 years ago.

Perhaps the Templars could be from a distant land? Why not Ishgard? Perhaps the Templar could be a super-religious order if Ishgard.

I like this,I thought about using the name Templar instead of Cavalier.At this point were all guessing.

as for SAM and NIN and maybe Geomancer they could add a mini expancion or patch with a little town in a old Japan style with lets say an Assasin's, Parivir's and (Insert name here)'s guild for NIN, SAM and GEM(Geomancer) respectibly
maybe the assasin's guild be a bit hidden from the view

Now were on the same page!I think that would make a lot of sense and be awesome

Just an alternative to Paladin would be great, if it's Templar(Magic)/Ninja(Evasion) great. Warrior I feel should really play that back up tank/spike DD roll.

Dunno how enthused I am about having a DoL (Shep) turn into a DoW. That doesn't make sense.

Also, I saw "Engineer" in some graphics, what it Engineer becomes a DoH that makes Airship parts (yeah yeah, I know it's a combat job, but those games didn't have crafter classes).

What if the DoL or DoH jobs instead "unlocked" classes like beastmaster and such? like after becoming a level X Shepherd you are taught how to become a beastmaster...

Or the Cook becoming a Blue Mage....

Alchemy becoming a Chemist class (Healer/Debuffer?)

That way your not using your DoL or DoH abilities in battle...cause they serve no purpose in battle.... but you could link items made by the DoL and DoH to upgrade or learn abilities for their DoW or DoM classes they unlocked.

Edit: Heck the unlocked Classes could be jobless this way...a way to mix Classes with Jobs and give diversity to the system.... like maybe these classes can't even use cross skills or something

Since Limsa is a maritime nation, the job for Musketeer would definitely be Corsair.

ya i think it would be Corsair and not ranger it would make more sense if ranger goes to ARC

Aye I say I'm a little more inclined to use Tamer instead as a DoW pet class that can tame non-agressive creatures, while leaving it's big brother Beastmaster with the ability to tame tougher aggressive mobs and the ability to summon a variety of pets to assist the party in the process similar to Hunters "Critter" ability from FF5. It just makes far more sense to me that way and would probably be far easier to implement and be more fulfilling than what is proposed.

I'd like that instead of Green Mage, the use of Geomancer branching off from Conjurer would fit in pretty well, since they use the power of nature for casting their spells. Instead of Freelancer, I'd like to think that a class that would link with both Red and Blue Mage would be more of a Spellfencer, or Spellblade from FFTA2.

Musketeer branching out to Corsair and Gunner seems like there isn't much of a role change, so instead of Gunner, I think a Cannoneer would be pretty awesome, granted they get some AOE damage skills and such, and different weapons maybe.

[Alaltus]

Considering Bard is an offshoot of the rogue archetype, which uses Swords, Daggers and Bows, that's not a precedent for anything.

Within fantasy lore sure but not within Final Fantasy tradition of how the jobs are presented. So the job has been bent to fit a different weapon, bard becoming more akin to Corsair than the ones that came before. You think that isn't a precedent for them to say make Samurai a spear user? its within their achetype after all. I don't believe they ever would but then i wasn't expecting a bow weilding Bard either. I just think if SE are inevitably going to have to pair Jobs with weapons outside tradition why bother forcing the 1 class x job system at all? Have jobs and classes as seperate entities, classes can still mix and match and solo. Jobs can still be more role specific but classes role in jobs would be more akin to a sub job. As well as take on the role of also determining your attack range and weaponskill access.

All I know is if they branch 2 jobs off one class with the jobs only getting 1 skill every 5 lvls they will all feel the same to me.

There needs to be a way to shed class actions and gain more job actions for this to not seem completely half ased to me
