For the BLU lovers!

[kiraan]

My BLU friends, our dream might be real soon, there is still hope!

It might be a bit farfetched but Yoshi pretty much confirmed that we will get a gun class "soon" after 2.3 and that it won't be the one we all think about.

So i was wondering which one it could be and it became clear ( thanks to my FFX-2 Vita edition).

Yoshi said some times ago he wanted to add blue mage in a not too far future.

Both those fact leads me to believe we'll get the gun mage:

What are you thought on this?

Nothing more than speculation.

[Racht]

Completely speculation, of course. And I wouldn't want BLU to stem from a gun-based weapon class. Too weird for my tastes.

This thread details BLU completely how I'd want it to play out. It's mechanics are brilliant. Plus... a whip. A WHIP. !!

though i do like this. the only way i can see it working is if it releases way down the road. kinda like treasures for ff11. too many pets for a 50 cap. i feel like cap needs to go up to 70+ before then.

on topic, we know its not musketeer due to its not what we are expecting and the gun is off hand.

dagger may mean one (or 2) of the four: dnc/thf/nin/rdm

gun i was thinking corsair since gold saucer was mentioned lol im thinking dice main hand/gun off hand?

[kiraan]

Of course it is, but i mean you're not excited even a bit that maybe we'll be able to play BLU soon?

Bullet Ballet please.

Bullet Ballet please.

Would actually be pretty sweet for a gun dancer. I'd still prefer dancer to come off of thief though (dual dagger).

And the latter part of your comment made me think of this:

Because Bullet Dance.

Too FFX-2 and not enough FFT for my tastes.

But if that's what I have to take to get Dancer as a dps instead of a healer I guess I'd settle.

yes as a loyal blu from xi an my fav job in the tactics series, i would be really dissappointed if we dont get a traditional blu, i dont want some hybrid mix-mash monster, same goes for rdm, if it dont come from fencer i will be wtf

I see why the OP is saying this.

Musketeer, conventionally speaking, seems like it would fit the typical mod of ranged damage dealer.

If that is the conventional, and they said that the gun class/jobs would not be what we expected...

What options are there besides a ranged DD?

Tank, Healer, Hybrid

And seeing that 1: hybrids are coming and 2: there is an abundance of DD--

A likely candidate to fit such a description of their's is that of a hybrid role. One who can deal damage and simultaneously boost the party or debuff the enemy, and seeing that the party boost option is already explicitly bard, I see a debuff option more likely.

This doesn't rule out a 2-job system like arcanist, of course. One branch/job could remain a more traditional DD.

I would personally be excited if MSK branched into a dd role for one, and a gunmage/blue mage role for the other.
