New classes?

[IceWing]

I would love to see a two handed sword or a scythe and maybe a class with a pet like Puppetmaster, dragoon, or Summoner. I would also love to have some oriental weapons and armor like wakizashi, katana, and maybe some samurai armor. i would settle for some dual wielding at-least I like being able to change to any job or class instantly but the choices don't really intrigue me archer and marauder are really the only 2 dps classes i can stand. gladiator is cool and all but I don't like the fact that I cant use two swords or a two handed sword. I loved the Blue Mage in FFXI the fact that i could beat the hell out of a mob with its own skills was fascinating. The current crafting classes are perfect in my mind its much better then just kneeling down and a crystal appear in front of you as it did in 11 but the lack of magic and melee classes such as the red mage and paladin is simply boring all i really do is run around mining, fishing, and crafting crap because the current classes are impossibly boring.

I've been thinking for awhile on how Square Enix could add new classes w/o having to add a whole new set of weapons for it and I've decided that one of the best ways would be adding a item to the arrow slot or off hand slot that changes your class or job into what ever it is for. Example: equip a 2h staff for conjurer or thaumaturge and equip a orb or jewel in the off hand or arrow slot to turn that class into a summoner or have a one handed sword and equip something in the off hand such as a spell book to turn the class into a red mage.
I may be thinking a little to far ahead but can they atleast give me one class that can dual wield like thief or ninja.

New and exciting.

Not quite sure what your talking about need a little more description but I'm guessing you want new and more exciting classes.

[CakeBandit]

All for new classes, but prefer to get the current classes ironed out before hopping to something new.

New classes (Arcanist and Musketeer) are coming after the coming job system is balanced

I want to see Novice as a class.

Take off your weapon to unlock the Novice class!

No skills except 1:

Rank 50: Knights of the Round.

(You have no skills as novice, so you must get there by being powerleveld. Once there, you get to undertake a quest as a novice. This quest can not be won, you must lose 200 times before Odin appears. Odin looks at you and tells you what a worthless adventurer you are and gives you the tools to summon Knights of the Round. (mostly because he feels bad that you suck so hard)

Novice can not use skills from any other class.
Novice can not wear any weapons, nor punch with fists.
Novice can ONLY use Knights of the Round.
Knights of the round costs more MP than the novice has.
UNLESS they have 185 MND and full MND gear.
THEN they can cast it ONCE.
It has a 66%% chance to kill the novice instead of the target.



Now THATS an exciting class!

Who agrees?

I understand their reasoning but I want them now ; ; until then (goes to Musketeer guild, /sit, /wait ∞).

That's cool and all but doesn't really fulfill what I'm looking forward to which is a dual wielding class.

Chief Admiral Merlwyb (Musketeer) is known to wield dual pistols.
