What job do you think the Gun Class will be? (Gun Mage? Agent?)

I love how people try to double layer Yoshi's words to fit their dreams. People were all expecting dps gunner (cuz nostalgia), then the words poped. Here goes, won't be a dps, or at least won't be the musketeer people wanted to see. So people went the the 2nd most logical choice : Chemist from FFT

Can't see gun mage coming either, because you know, BLU has already been said to be too hard to balance (huge discrepancy between players in skills available, OP skills and totally useless ones, plus most of the mobs abilities are ones the current jobs have. The others are usually totally OP) and won't come any time soon (or so we've been said). And considering gun mage is a BLU with a gun, well, we got the answer.

Considering the nature of where the Musketeer's Guild is located, it seems logical that the job version of it would be Corsair. I mean, pirates and all, right? A lot of speculations are being tossed left and right about the gunclass being a potential healer - Chemist from FFT as source, I suppose. Problems with Chemist, however, it's would either require resources to actually heal: Pitching potions. Or they are somehow magically unrestricted and can "draw aether out of the air and stuck it in a jar"(?) Otherwise they'd have to headshot you and you suddenly received a burst of healing, odd.

There's a more basic choice for Square-Enix to pick a healer, though: Red Mage.

edit:
In case the "hint" yoshi gave with his 007 T-shirt: Pirating movies. For we be pirates!
Yar dar fiddle lee dee being a pirate is alright with me

The short answer is 'Yes.' Yoshida has moved classes away from requiring consumables as a core to performing their role in the past. Archers/Bards needed arrows in 1.xx, but no longer do. There is no lore reason for this now. They straight up removed the consumable aspect of the class for streamlining purposes, and for the best. There is no reason not to do the same for Chemist, should it be the job, with their special healing potions.

Pretty much this.

Heh ... wonder if the gun-using class will be ... wait for it ... PUP!

What? They can put together a robot, no reason they can put together a gun or 2.

PS: Bonus points if it requires Lv 15 GSM as a sub-class. LOL

I think it will be some sort of support DPS class.

That's pretty much how all DPS classes are except for DRG currently. MNK has mantra, a stun, technically a silence, a -10% int debuff. NIN has a stun, a silence, TP regeneration, +10% damage on enemy debuff, slashing resistance debuff, and a weak mantra. SMN has battle rez, enhanced virus, heavy, eye for an eye on a shorter cooldown, BLM has -20% magical damage on a target, virus, eye for an eye, heavy/slow, and manawall/ward can sort of be counted for utility in certain scenarios.

I was thinking like Bard - but I didn't think of it that way, you're right. Disregard my dumb thought.

Like I already said. We don't need a second Bard.
