Musketeer in Through the Maelstrom Patch or Huge Tease?

[Starkiller]

OK so based on one of the new images for the upcoming 2.2 Through the Maelstrom patch (see Gamer Escape news link below)... I think we might be finally getting Musketeer!

If not, then this is just a huge tease that SE is pulling on all of us. Why else would this image of Merlwyb be featured?

[Saccharin]

Because it takes place in her island, maybe.

I think it's too early to introduce a new class. We're only just over half a year into the original game. I think if there was a new class to be introduced in 2.2 we would know about it by now.

Not sure what game you're playing, but I don't think it's XIV.

SE may call it 2.x but it's a completely rewritten game starting from scratch with everything but the story so it's effectively 1.x.

LMAO... If so.. check out this picture...



This was way back in 1.0... where we have a CS holding a gun...
We have been teased for so many YEARS

[Asher_K]

well, the guild is already in place, just like the Archanist one before 2.0 launch.

I disagree completely with this viewpoint. There is quite a bit of continuity between 1.x and 2.x of FFXIV. I would guess that one who never really played FFXIV 1.x for any length of time would take this viewpoint.

To be fair we didn't have any kind of information about scholar before it was released. Even summoner was a bit "hidden" amidst some artworks, but scholar was never anywhere until release.

While they were certainly secretive in the lead up to announcing Scholar, it wasn't like we had no information until it was released. Unless by released you mean announced, in which case fair point.
