Please add Musketeer

As of now Yoshi-P already said the Gun class will be released in FF14ARR.

However, he said that the gameplay of the Gun class will not be what people expect it to be.

So it most likely they are working on the Gun class to have a new gameplay style and mechanic which may take more work than the generic range DPS class similar to Archer people are expect it to be.

What the unique mechanic maybe we won't know until they're ready to reveal gameplay.

I'd be down with that. Adding completely unique playstyles per class was always one of the ideas I've supported for ORPGs.
Would prefer they go back and reinvent some of the others as well, but that'd be a start.

This is a perfect example of why threads need a Dislike button. Stop being babies.

What is it with kids these days and their faux forum riots?

Doesn't really work unless you crash the game (See Jita Riots).

It's pretty cute that you guys think RIOTing will or has effected SE's development cycle for this or anything else.

Musketeer will come when it comes, which is now more than likely with the expansion. And you probably won't get any major information until Fan Fest, not even to speak of Gamescom or Tokyo Game Show, which will be mainly for Ninja/Rogue info as well as Gold Saucer.

What's promised you isn't really "promised," sorry. They work based on their development schedule, not based on when the people want to see something added to the game. The good thing about Yoshi-P is the fact that he's about pleasing the gamers, but even he must work with his devs in a development cycle, on of which works to produce the most balanced game considering resources, research, planning, scheduling, and the current metagame, all other jobs included. But you want to say, "I've been waiting for 4 years!" Yeah, and? Game still goes by a development cycle, and what they feel needs to be in the game at the current time.

I guess it is fun however to post semi-annoying JP emotes.

This is why I liked FFXI because whether you liked it or not, some new jobs added completely different gameplay within a confined system, i.e Dancer being a TP based healer? That was new - Blue Mage? Brand new style of Job Setup, Puppetmaster? Brand new pet class style, Geomancer? New support style where placement of your buffs and debuffs were crucial.

Then comes that awkward moment when you realize:

Arcanist was promised along side Musketeer as one of the new classes available in an update. Then comes that other awkward moment when you realize they threw in not only Arcanist but had time to design Arcanist AND Summoner AND Scholar.

So...uhm.....

Make musketeer a chemist and make it a healer class.

You actually don't know what goes on behind SE offices. They could have done any number of things including:

1) Threw out current MSK ideas as of 2.0.
2) Not started MSK/job at all.
3) Planned on waiting until expansion or 2.4.
4) Had X number of updates they wanted to put in before MSK.
5) Decided on putting in a pet class and a stealth class before MSK.
6) Threw out current MSK ideas as of 2.1~2.2.

There are no awkward moments here, only overly hopeful people. Musketeer will come soon. Jobs are not easy to add into an MMO; it's not something that can simply be done overnight or even in a couple of months. From there, you have no idea what they want to prioritize first in this MMO over a gun wielding class.

Remain patient.

Or have fun "RIOTing" like dorks until the expansion rolls around. I know most of you will pick the latter and will glaze over my words. You guys will be miserable until Fan Fest, I assure you.
