A Request for when you add Musketeer

[Tanama]

To Yoshi P & Team, can you add a nice variety in Musketeer's arsenal and not limit them to only pistols? For all I know the team has already designed a multitude of different weapons but I just wanted to express interest in wanting to use the type of muskets that I have seen posted all over the Marauder/Musketeer's Guild and the Maelstrom Command. For those that aren't aware I'll post some screenshots below.

Here are some muskets you'll find in Limsa Lominsa.




These pistol wielding guards are posted all over Limsa.






I am highly anticipating this class and hope Yoshi P & team add a variety weaponry much like gunners in previous Final Fantasies(See examples here.).

Maybe one class will get handguns, and another one will get rifles?

That would be awesome to. I can only imagine what jobs Musketeer would branch off to.

I don't think I could be anymore excited for a class/job than I am for this one.

I've stopped leveling classes until this one comes out. I can just imagine all the fates now looking like a firing squad though.

(Long Rifles) (Yes Please)

I'm still kinda miffed from the 1.x Limsa opener when it showed a maurader using a pistol and an axe... Give us musketeer soon SE!

Also, on some tables in Hauke Manor, there are also rifles.

Or

Gladiators get daggers and swords.

I noticed this too, I really hope they add some awesome lore behind how firearm technology came to Eorzea.

I so desperately want the return of the Corsair job for the Musketeer.

Item Lv.100 - Gunblade

Ftfy. Makes more sense to focus on limited animation differences with two jobs and the same weapons than to create two entire skillsets with similar roles.

Item Lv.100 - Gunblade

That, on the other hand, would probably need to be a different class -- melee attacks would require an entirely different ability and animation set. I mean, you could have people just use it as a gun, but how unsatisfying would that be?

//EDIT:

• Gunner
• Hunter
• Sniper
• Ranger
• Corsair
• Machinist
• Engineer
• Gun Mage
• Cannoneer
• Fusilier
• Flintlock

Worth noting that almost all of these are one-offs or are classes not defined by guns. Among them, "Gunner" could encompass Gunner, Corsair, and Fusilier at the very least, since they're all the basic gun-user classes for their respective games. Engineer/Machinist only uses guns in the Ivalice setting. Gun Mage is a one-off Blue Mage, where Blue Mages always use random weapons (like cutlery). Ranger, of which Hunter and Sniper are game-specific variants, is defined by bows rather than guns.

^^
Ranger from a SE MMO uses a bow primarily. (can use gun)

Actually, rangers have two primary skills in FFXI which are Archery and Marksmanship. Their ultimate weapons consisted of bows, guns and a crossbow.

Still dying for this class. It's been three bloody years SE. Give me my gun back.

In the Alpha build, did Musketeer have a full set of class traits and abilities?

You make valid points.
