I'm not saying the new gun class is going to be... but its going to be...

Whatever it is the guild will be downstairs from the Coral tower, I mean, the sign is already there.

Yup, and so is the Guildmaster (Rayner), and the counters for the quest-trigging NPCs. They're just currently empty.

I believe Yoshida has stated several times that he is not eager to implement Blue Mage in this game because they are not MMORPG friendly or something. Perhaps someone could pull up the quote.

The same thing can be said of Red Mage though in that this MMO in particular is heavily designed around the specialisation of roles in a party. True Red Mages lack specialisation and nudging the class to favour any single role above others will piss off at least half the RDM fanboy club - because those people don't understand compromise.

My vote is for Chemist as a Healer or Corsair/Fusilier as DPS.
