Please rename alchemist to chemist, and make alchemist a battle job

[Altijacek]

Anyone for the idea? Before it's shot down, it wouldn't necessarily be a limited item using job. In many ff games alchemists tend to have the ability to use infinite items. Alchemist could be a healer stemming from Musketeer class (other will be DPS corsair).

Musketeer can learn first aid at level three which will work like a cure, and Hidden Remedy which works like Esuna (neither will use up items). As alchemist job it could require more potent healing abilities, shooting them at allies with the gun (like in FFT).

It could get Mega Potion, Mega Ether, etc, but it won't actually take from the stock, just perform the action, and will require cast times. The level 50 job ability can be megalixir, turbo elixir which works like a benediction with long cooldown, and if it has a cast down it could even restore tank TP.

Thoughts?
