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.

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

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

I agree that the current classes should be ironed out, but having new classes to level would be nice while they are ironing out the classes. It just gives us stuff to do. And who knows how long it will take to iron out the classes. It seems like it will be a continous thing, ever changing, just as the content will change and the player base' opinions.

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

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.
