Please add Musketeer

[KaiKatzchen]

1) for the obvious reason that everyone seems to be ignoring on purpose : Yoshida stated that the gunner class won't be what people expect. They're expecting musketeer => it is very likely that it won't be musketeer (also, musketeer would be an awful support, as the incoming gunner class is announced as the first of the support role which is planed to come)

Actually I have talked about this several times in different threads including this one, and so have others.

Quote: Yoshida stated that the gunner class won't be what people expect.

Yes I know and I think that is great and makes me want it even more. I don't care if it's Corsair based, mage based or a tank with guns, I just want my gunner class I've been waiting for for 4 years.

Quote: it is very likely that it won't be musketeer

I think people mostly call it Musketeer because for 4 years that is all we have known it as. Recently he called it Gunner and now and then I'll use that term, but it's hard to end a 4 year habit of calling it something else. In short, I think most people on this thread aren't asking specifically for Musketeer which by definition: was an early modern type of infantry soldier equipped with a musket as much as they are just asking for the class with guns.

I think most are calling it Musketeer out of default. So it's not that this is being ignored as much as, it's what we are used to calling it. We don't have an exact name like Rogue/Ninja to switch too.

Call it what it is then (._.)

A Gunner.

Actually, I'm fairly sure that many people strongly believe that it will really be musketeer, despise all evidences. But well...

What evidence?
That Yoshida said that it is not what people would think? What evidence is here that Yoshida mean the class name instead of the class mechanic and the role in a party?

crying people "MSK or riot" aren't enough to make you see what people are expecting ? People are wanting MSK (dps), when it could be corsair (supportin FFXI as I've heard, could have heard wrong), chemist (healer), machinist (whatever)...

inb4 "Could be MSK but not dps". Would make no sense. What would it be, tank ? ... be serious


Oh yeah, and coral tower got renamed too. Bye bye gunner guild, see ya in expansion.

You kinda keep saying the same thing over and over... but that aside.

Are you ok? Why are you so upset that we call it Musketeer instead of Gunner? By your logic we should still be calling Rogue/Ninja dagger because he called it that first when he said "dagger and gunner". Which just proves that Gunner is simply the type, not the specific class name. And as I said in the last post, since I do not have a clear class name to call it by, I call it by the last known class name.

And as I said before, I just want a class with guns. What exactly is a Musketeer? I do know that Yoshi, himself has called it a Musketter back when he was discussing it over two years ago.

銃術士はそれよりあとに実装予定で二丁拳銃の仕組みまでは考えてるとか
Musketeer is planned for after that and also thinking of duel gun

Which of course he has the right to change the class name, but at the moment we do not have a proper class name. Regardless, seeing that we don't even know exactly what a Musketeer is in the eyes of SE or Yoshi, it would be silly to continue saying that people "strongly believe that it will really be musketeer".

Like I said before and will say again, for me and I'm sure for others. Its about the guns, not the name. The name is simply what we haven known it as since before 1.0 came out.

As long as it doesn't play as Sazh I don't care what it is called or what it is meant to do.

If it plays like Laguna or FF tactic related gunner classes it would make my year.

Well there is one other Gun type class Yoshi-P did mention that they may be added into FF14 which is the Gunblade class but I remember that he mentioned some where that it won't be released until access or near access into the Garlean Empire due to the planned location of the Gunblade class guild.

At which time I will toss my lance off a cliff and take up a new class.

Sorry, never heard it mentioned from Yoshi-P or SE that there will be a Gunblade wielding class.
heard plenty of speculation from the Fanbase, but nothing from SE.

Would be interesting if they have though, could you post a link?

Like I said it old discussion so I don't remember where it was mentioned since there hasn't been much word about the Gunblade class for a long time.

and sorry I put "will" in my sentence. Don't need to feel offended about a single word mistake.

Back on topic: If the Gun class turns out to be the gunblade class we may have at least a new class that can turn into a Tank Job and DPS Job with tank Job focusing on the melee combat of a gunblade while the DPS Job focusing on the range combat.

If not then a standard gun class would fit more into splitting between a Healer Job (the Medic type which would suit Chemist Job) and DPS Job (gun focus skills which would suit Gunner Job)

but that just my opinion on how they can handle the job roles.
