MRD Advanced Job

[VydarrTyr]

And this may be cheating, but from the most recent Lodestone page describing Materia, the technique was apparently developed by a goblin geomancer:

That the revolutionary technique for the creation and application of materia was brought to Eorzea by the goblin geomancer Mutamix Bubblypots is a well known fact.

Yup! SE always teasing people...they always put the stuff somewhere in a hope someone notice it. =P

I remember in FFXI when they added BLU, COR and PUP relic sets...they placed one of these announcement banners that was talking about the addition of level sync in the next patch and stuff...and in the corner of the banner they placed a small image of a PUP fighing a goblin statue in relic armor...and it was like 2 months before the patch becoming live...they just cast the lure and waited someone bite it. =P

I believe they might be doing the very same now...but with info mixed with these lore texts instead of images. ^^

Looking at the picture I see some "fur" on the axe wielding Roegadyn's armor.
For some reason this makes me think of a Berserker job.

[Lienn]

I'm guessing Viking. Many viking cloths include fur mantles and horned helms...and the dude has both.

Berserker often was dressed in leather strap at FF games...more like a "Shao Khan" looking than this dude. But i'm happy that, after seeing they are keeping the FFXI looking of AFs (what a surprise they copying FFXI) then it has very little chance of being WAR.

Also, i loved seeing the BRD opening the harp as bow...i always was curious about how BRD would use ARC skills ^^

Only one i'm curious is still the darkarmor dude...it can be DRG, but it can be DRK too...DRG because he's holding a polearm-like weapon, bur near the BRD arm you can see something similar to a scythe blade...if LNC become DRK i'll really be surprised =P

And just another proof that they love teasing people...both WHM and BLM aren't holding weapon (ot they being at least visible) so there is no way to identify which class will become them...

Yea i am thinking it's either going to be Viking or Berserker given the artwork.

To be honest i am hoping for berserker and the expanding the damage capability of the axe and its skill set.

[Narctiss]

I'd definitely like to see Berserker if it increased the damage capabilities on the axe.
The axe and armour shown on the cover looks awesome. I can't wait to see this job implemented! I wouldn't like to guess exactly what it is though.. Darn SE and their tricky ways!

Warrior, Viking, Berserker, something else? I don't mind. I'm just happy it's not Bard! XD

I'd pay the $12.99/mo right now if it turns out to be Beastmaster.

Well if it does turn out to be Berserker I hope we get a nice boost in HP, cause I imagine our defense will take a nose dive.
Or more than likely we'll get some quest abilities that reduce defense and/or HP to do more damage and gain more enmity.
