Thread: Patch 2.2 new class?

If they intend to make new classes they also need some lore and a place to 'host' them and the best place would be a new expansion.

Well currently Musketeer class is the only one with mostly everything done for it. It has the Lore setup already, it is the 3rd Class guild in Limsa, Blacksmiths in Lisma are know to be the Crafters who craft Musketeer Weapons so they have a crafter already, several NPCs are Musketeer Class NPCs such as Merlwyb and a few Maelstrom Members like Merlwyb 2nd and 3rd in command, A few of the Musketeer weapon designs are already released into the game to be used by NPCs, and their Class Guild is already open to public in Lisma and we have access to it.

The Maelstrom currently consist of mostly Musketeers for their Long Range unit.

Yoshi-P also did state we will be getting 1 new class before first expansion as well so most likely it is Musketeer.

Any other classes like the Scout (class that goes into Ninja and Thief) and Melee Mage(Red Mage) may require us to wait for 1st Expansion because of lore reasons similar to why the GunBlade Class will not be released until we get into or near the Garlean Empire because the GunBlade class guild is located in the Garlean Empire.
