lancer => templar. Maybe the best fitting guess

Mimes however don't use weapons. They just repeat the last action used, be it by allies or enemies. I can't see that job coming in a MMO due to the awkward mess it would be. Imagine it using twister on its allies again ?

Yes, in past FF games. I'm trying to consider the mechanics in ARR, where class skills are dictated by your weapon and job skills are added to class skills. Some of our current classes will need a severe re-design, it seems (Gladiator Thaumaturge and Lancer, I'm looking at you). Others could work with more simple tweaks, similar to what happened with Scholar.

Yoshida already said that the new jobs (aka second 1st tier jobs) would be able to bring a lo of changes in a class's gameplay. Remove enmity modifiers, add some, change buffs... All is possible, as long as SE comes with the idea.

The sky's the limit. I just hope something is implemented soon.
