Do Jobs = Ishgard???

[Rydin]

Dragoon... Paladin... monk

All of these jobs are similar in technique to the classes they sprout from....
But in their philosophy they differ greatly...

So....

Ishgard is run by a religious zealot bishop and is devoted to the fight against dragons

Paladin has always had religious (holy) overtones

Dragoon has always been either one who battled with dragons or one who fought against dragons. It changes from game to game

Monk is more spiritual than religious really and doesn't really seem to side with Ishgard but (And this is a stretch) could be a part of some resistance group opposed to the dictatorship of the Bishop

This is all just wild speculation but could the new jobs tie heavily into Ishgard?

The soldiers outside of Ishgard claim that you need the blessing of Halone the Fury to enter the city (Halone being the guardian deity most associated with Gladiators) which could tie into the twelve, Archons and Umbral era's and all that jazz

If Ishgard isn't introduced this way, I wont be mad, but I'd love it if it was

That would be great.
We just have no idea on how complete Ishgard is. It would be an awesome surprise if it was ready by the job system patch, but I can't really picture them not hyping it up.

Ishgard or Companies. I want jobs to be unlocked with some story tied with one of these 2.

It's really hard to tell, isn't it?
In my head I imagined companies to have their own military ranks and be more tied in to large-scale PVE

I was hoping that they would introduce the Jobs in Ishgard. They could lower the current quest rank requirements and then at R30/35 you get your Job unlock quest which takes you to Ishgard where you meet your required Job's teacher.

It would also tie in well to the one to fifty long zone thread

A dragoon is just mounted infantry actually :P
Personally I find Coerthas the most beautiful and interesting, but the lack of regional content keeps most players away from those lands. I hope it gets implemented soon :/

[Malakhim]

Can I just have Ishgard, companies, AND jobs?

Well you will definitely have companies and Jobs soon... And all fingers are crossed for Ishgard implementation

The knights of ishgard are called dragoons. It's stated in a few quests. Though wasn't the job confirmed to be coming out called Dragon Knight?

Even if this was the case, the job names are the way they are to be "traditional" Final Fantasy. So it would have to be Dragoon :P

Dragon Knight and Dragoon are interchangeable as far as I know. I think Dragon Knight is literally what the name for the job translates to from Japanese to English.
