Please add Musketeer

[Moheeheeko]

Musketeer will more likely be announced at GAMESCOM in August

honestly more likely at the tokyo game show, square doesnt really give 2 poops about anything that isnt NA or Japan.

Rogue is "Twin-blade user" or some such. Not Thief. At least, that's what the translators are saying.

In fact, apparently most of the Classes in Japanese are just "Weapon-type User" from what I understand.

You should ask them if they watched E3 and noticed how many times the official translator said "Thief" instead of Rogue.

That's because the translator had to remember the english name of it, you have to look at it like this, Yoshida is saying "Twin swordsman" but the translator has to recall "Rogue" but at the same time they keep saying it's not "Thief" but they use to be "thieves" and you have to recall he's taking in a lot of information and then having to respond back as to what Yoshida said, so a slip of the tongue like that is easy to do.

If you don't believe the name is "Twin Swordsman" just go to the japanese website and google trans it http://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...65e8c695f34adf

It will say "Twin Swordsman"

Or you can just take this "双剣士" and put it into the google trans it's the text found above the "Rogue" pic on the Japanese site.

honestly, there is little to no chance that they will announce musketeer in GAMESCOM or in TGS.

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)

2) because no other class than thief should come before the expansion, which details will be revealed at the FanFest, in october/november.

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.

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.

[EdwinLi]

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.
