Arcanist Japanese names

[MartaDemireux]

Ah, very neat connection you made there. There are a lot of differences in the JP and EN naming conventions in this game. Really paints the picture more clearly in JP I'd say.

On the class name itself: Here we get Arcanist which would mean manipulator of arcane magic (which is somewhat true in summoning pets) but over there they get Tomoe Grafter Specialist which basically means abstract geometrical drawing specialist which is literally what the class does to cast its spells.

Though on the other side of the fence we have Conjurer actually being "Illusion Specialist" (no illusions present unless the elementals are just illusions) and Thaumaturge being "Hex Specialist" (not really seeing any hexes in their lineup) in JP. Wonder if they'll go back and change the JP class names for those two to better show off what they do. If they leave it as is it really makes me wonder what they'll give them for 2nd jobs.
