New 'Gun' Wielding class and Fantasia?

[TheMunimai]

Ah I do agree with you there, I personally don't understand the 4 party make up, and think a 5 party system would have been more beneficial.

I guess its just "wait and see" really, i'm excited nonetheless.

1.0's Lominsan story line sparked this idea because when you visit the Muskateer Guild in 1.0 they give you a Muskate Pistol but for some reason the way you hold it (Thug style or something I guess) scares the crap out of the NPC that handed it to you and the Guildmaster throws you out in a fit of rage and basically tells you not to come back. The reason why was never explained as the class was never and still hasn't to this day been implamented. So maybe the "Style" that the PC weilds the gun in during the 1.0 cutscean is a little to garlean for comfort and that's why they kicked the Player out.

I believe it was explained, though maybe not so obvious. People up on the lore, correct me if I'm wrong, but your character holds the gun like that because they see the sea wolf roegadyn hold one like that in the opening sequence.
That guy was either Rostnstahl or someone who uses his gun technique, which is why you're unceremoniously kicked out.

There's no mistery about this class, it's Musketeer. What he's likely talking about is the role or how it plays which is obviously different from the original design like Arcanist.

Rise of the machinist! Lesser jobs will cower in fright!

I'd honestly think one of the branching jobs will be Chemist. Remember how Cid fights beside you in Every Little Thing She Does is Magitek(?). He fights with a gun and uses potions

NOW THAT I'M NOT ON MOBILE~

To elaborate: Cid in the fight fought with guns, though I can't remember if he had any weapon skills and I can't quite remember if he used it like a club, it's been too long since I last did that quest.

He used his potions like a CNJ would a Cure spell which means his potions are obviously much stronger then our current potions, so perhaps Chemist would have a skill that either uses potions we have as ammo and enhances them (removing CD), or pull potions out of it's rear magically for curative, buffing and debuffing effects

I also can't remember if he used potions offensivly. All I can remember is Cid, He used a Gun, he used potions, we destroyed those Garlean attackers, and both times I was a Lalafell (unrelated note)

This would be an interesting job for the gunner.
