Ishgardian classes

[Knives]

With the armory system, class and weapon are linked, so introducing two-handed greatswords has to mean introducing a new class that isn't a gladiator.

I would agree with that, but CNJ and THM both have 2-handed weapons in their arsenal. Is it really that far-fetched to think GLA would get it's own 2-handed weapon type that only GLA and DRK can use? I'm sure they could work in some animation and effect changes to abilities in the same way they did with SMN and SCH's "Summon" spell, but this depending on 1 or 2 handed weaponry.

With all that said though, I'm betting (dreading) DRK is going to branch from LNC. With moves like Blood for Blood and Life Surge, it would be in line... even if it would be lame imo. Funny thought; what if that DRG in the cinematic was actually DRK? XD

DEPRESSION.

Would you really be happy though if a job as iconic as dark night branched of of a previous melee DPS class? It was play 80% the same as dragoon with only about 7 different abilities, most of which are combo finishers.

Scholar and summoner only feel so different cause they manage to be completely opposite ends of the spectrum, you can do this with a melee, tank or DPS it will still feel the majorly the same, and to me anyway feel like a waste of an iconic job.

But would they just be whole new classes added or will they only be jobs for the classes we already have

ammong other things we will get Ishgard as a fully functional city state.

Fully functional? Really? 'cause the Ishgard I saw in the previews looks like a ruin infested with dragons. I think your premise may be flawed.

Well the slides explicitly name it the fourth city state. Take that as you will.

Better have my musketeer in that expansion

It is possible. Musketeer has been planned for a long time. Might not arrive in 3.0 but maybe 3.4 like the ninja just now.

I could totally see the Samurai guild HQ being in More Spamma.

They didn't actually mention new classes for 3.0 just multiple new jobs. It's a bit of a distinction when you have both.

GE: In the Heavensward information, you indicated new “jobs” but not new “classes” – was that intentional?

Y: You have a good eye! I’m afraid we can’t really say at this point. That’s a wonderful question though.

LOL this piece of news is a total killjoy. Silence. Silence everywhere!

Thanks for letting us know though!
