You are sure? I doub't you can foresee anything which will be coming up in the next years this early in the developement state.
And it can be done, people will just have to adopt to the new playing style of an FFXIV Blink Tank Ninja.^^

Only new jobs I want (not class) is MNK, BLU and BST. We all know MNK will be on Pugilist, not sure of the other two though.

The current classes do make me wonder. Maybe they might make a new class "Entertainer" with Bard, Dancer.. Puppetmaster?

People seems confused with jobs and class. What we have now are a class of jobs. Like Pugilist will be able to unlock MNK, THF or NIN or something like that. Speculation

Thank you

What we have now are classes.
Jobs are specific playstyles for classes that are meant for the "harder" content of the game, such as dungeons, raids, and HNMs.

From what I can remember, the confirmed jobs are Paladin, Monk, Black Mage, White Mage, and Bard (which means I'm missing two, or they didn't tell us the other 2, I don't recall).

Can't find the post of it either so you'll have to take my word for it :3

They're not changing the current classes to those, they're adding a job system on top of the class system. Basically, when you get a high-enough level on a class, you can do a quest that unlocks a job that is a specialized version of that class. So for instance, you get GLA to 25 (my estimate) and do a quest that unlocks Paladin. Now you can switch to Paladin, and have a different skillset that is more specialized for party play. These jobs are more limited in what class abilities they can equip. It's all in Yoshi's letters and interviews.

They can't implement jobs until the class that owns its weapon is designed and implemented first.

Samurai and Ninja would be the classical job name. The classes would be something like Parivr, Ronin, Bushido, Shinobi, Vagrant, Wanderer, Assassin, etc.


I'm kinda voting on Vagrant with Tachi's as the weapons.
