Future new class theory

[Zeeg44]

So as the title states I think we have gotten a hint at a future new class. When doing your zodiac quest you must talk to a man named Jalzahn who says he is an alchemist from a nearby city state. Perhaps in the future we will get to visit this place and even be able to look in to his profession. My only thought on the alchemist class is that it will focus on buffs and debuffs unless it is a craft class in which perhaps we will see weapon and armor enhancement come in to play. What is your thoughts ff 14 community am I crazy or would this not be cool?

We already have an alchemist class.

Chemist on the other hand...

If it is chemist they need to add a name change option ASAP. I need to play that class as Walter White.

QFT. If machinist though, I might create an alt named Mustadio

New crafting classes? Engineer, Chemist, Gunsmith are something id like to see in the future, particularly when/if they are opening up transport to zones in Garland Empire and Ivalice which have a more advanced technological society than Eorzea. Id also make sense to see those kinda of classes appear suddenly especially if Gold Saucer will be a HUB of technology for Eorzea.

Those crafts service purpose for class/jobs Puppeteer, Musketeer, Red Mage, Dark Knight, Ninja, Thief. Which are the popular keywords being thrown around in this forum in regards to future classes, also based on what Developers have mentioned, and what lore has hinted to.

Those are my theories however.

Engineer (ok, to be exact, machinist) and Chemist were combat classes with gun wielders though. And might be related to that mysterious gun class "non expected"

Well the reason why said Engineer and not Machinist was because i didn't want to elude that i was talking about a Combat Class Machinist like you would find from Tactics or XII. Rather a strict crafting class that focuses on making weapons/armor for specific combat classes. IE Puppet-Master or Machinist, in making crafted Automations.

I suppose Chemist would be best suited as a Combat Class, as it was in Tactics as the basis for all Magic classes + Gunsmithing can be the crafting equivalent.

I could take a shot in the dark it would be like this.

Chemist 30 + Marauder 25 = Dark Knight?
Musketeer 30 + Chemist 25 = Red/Gun Mage?
Thief 30 + Archer 25 = Ninja?
Machinist 30 + Thaumaturge 25 = Puppet-Master?
Lancer 30 + Gladiator 25 = Samurai?

@Wings, How would the DRK and SAM work? o-O if they plan to follow what they did with smn/sch and every class so far.... then wouldn't SAM use a lance and Dark Knight would use a gun? (If Chemist does turn out to be that gun class) o-o

[Kirinichibon]

If they follow the trend set so far, each Class would get a new weapon(s) and all additional jobs with that class would use the same weapon (likely with different stats). One class with multiple jobs so far is hardly precedence, though.
