    Musketeer Needs a Job

    I am posting this in general discussion because there is no forum for this particular class.

    Anyway, we know that the Arcanist class eventually allows a player to access the Summoner job. Most of us also strongly anticipate that the Musketeer class will be available at launch, otherwise there will be a population imbalance with only two starting classes in Limsa Lominsa, and three in every other city.

    So if MUS is going to be a starting class, what job do you think it will open up? Because its guild is in Limsa Lominsa, Corsair seems very logical. But, Ranger is a possibility too. Remember, Naoki Yoshida is the guy that turned Archers into Bards(?!).

    So what if it is Corsair? What do you think would be the secondary class requirement (if they even still exist in 2.0)? Archer would seem logical ... but again, this is the same guy who made Pugilist a sub-class requirement of Black Mage.

    I am just wondering how the rest of the community thinks this will go down.

    Pure speculation of course, but if Musketeer is going to be added from launch (I seriously doubt it though), then Corsair would be a good fit. Especially the whole 'pirate' aspect would be right at home in LL. As for secondary class, well, that's easy if you think about it. Marauder! The MRD's weapon (great axe) after all is stated as being 'emblematic of Eorzea's pirates', so the class would be a natural fit with Corsair, who really are pirates.

    I don't see the logic in the necessity of another class at launch just because there'd be an imbalance of the starting battle classes per city. Gridania and Ul'dah both had 3 battle classes each at 1.0 launch and that didn't stop them from only putting one battle class in Limsa Lominsa at the start.

    They can add musketeer/coursair, but only if their AF head piece is an grey headband.

    Well they could change the XIV lore of musketeers to use rapiers instead of guns, then RDM can be the job for them.

    OR they can be silly like they did with archer/brd and make a red mage who uses guns! LOL!

    Most people are predicting that Musketeers would be red mages due to the french motif that both of them symbolize (Rdm uses rapiers and feather hats, Musketeers... the name itself).

    I think there was quite a lengthy discusssion in this thread, not sure if it's the right one though:
    http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...light=red+mage

    Personally, i'd like Corsair since the Muskateer is based in Limsa and would make sense. But they could pull a 'Warrior' scenario and make it Muskateer>Ranger... about some dude being a renowned marksman and what not and it's your job to seek him out or something.

    Well, let's just call it Gun Mage then and be done with it.

    (Really, those who want RDM in FFXIV could just play as a GLA with CNJ and THM spells equipped, as it would be the same thing ).
