FF is due for some entirely new Jobs

[Altijacek]

What will we get? What will FFXIV bring to the table that's entirely new? Pure speculation here. I think before it brings something new we'll have essentially every FF job known to man, but I would really love to see something entirely new and unique...

I can't think of anything myself, however >_<

Although I really like how pugilist/monk plays in this game, and would love to see a sort of healer or tank that plays in a similar fashion.

I would like to see them introduce a soldier, cop, Indian chief, cowboy, construction worker, and biker.

Lawyer, it can be DPS or a Tank... And they will be so good players will have to pay them to be in their party. If a DPS and Tank Lawyer are in the same party, they will defend their role for the entirety of the dungeon/time they are in the party.

Although on a serious note, who knows what Yoshi and his team may come up with outside of traditional FF jobs.

Cowboy and Indian Chief yes please

I wouldn't say its so unlikely. If FFXI is anything to go by, they introduced at least one entirely new class--Puppetmaster; allowed players to be a classic NPC class for the first time--Corsair(Pirate!); resurrected a job that hadn't been used since FFIII--scholar, and also brought back a job that was only ever used in FFV--Rune Fencer (Mystic Knight).

So I'd say there's precedent for a new job, or seldom used job, being added to the game!

The Viking (ヴァイキング Vaikingu?) class is a very rare class that has only appeared in Final Fantasy III (both the original Famicom version and the Nintendo DS remake) and Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.

Well technically, even tho she was not a playable character, Luca from ffiv was a puppetmaster, as was Reeve in vii (the guy who controlled cait sith) and you can make the argument that Lulu in X was also.

Also we have seen mobs that control puppets in games as a means of attack, so the xi puppetmaster was not completely unheard of in the final fantasy genre but just different and more prominent enough to seem that way

I personally like the classics, they can introduce new jobs if they would like but there is something about the classics. What they really need to do is drop the thm, con, mrd brouhaha and just do jobs.
