So if 1 new Job in 3.X era...[spoiler]

They didn't say that they will stop adding new Jobs into the game. Yoshi-p said that the develops did not want to make add 3 new Jobs at once again due to the large amount of work that goes into developing just one new Job so most likely SE plans to only release 1 or 2 new Jobs per expansion from now.

At best they may add 1 new Job for X.X era and 1 or 2 new Job for X.0 era.

Yeah, I get the impression we won't see another new job until 4.0, and when we do, it's only going to be two jobs (probably dancer and samurai, going by popularity).

Didn't Yoshi-P say quite a while ago that new jobs was a heck of lot of work and they don't have plans to release new jobs within the span of 3.x?

He did. Ninja was very hard on the team, so no new jobs or classes outside of expansions.

Probably not until 4.0, but Samurai is probably all but confirmed to pretty much be next in line, its way to popular NOT to be included. As for whatever may come with it...I do agree we have a shortage of Magic jobs, and I still would love to have Red Mage as my main for this character.

actually yoshi said they wont be adding anymore in between expansions . ninja was a 1 off thing every other job/class will be more or less added in expansions

ok at first thought this thread was a speculation for all what is to come soon and not just jobs

where there is a plot to see , there is an addition
so far i agree with most of the players here , but the game going to the direction in which it creates systems and content exclusive to the game


exclusive job for ffxiv not seen anywhere


outside topic : any thread here discusses the HW lore?

I must be one of the only people who doesn't want samurai as the next job just because it'd look far too much like a dark knight (especially with the current doman gear) and--depending on what role it would come in as--play too much like a job we already have in this game.

I do agree that the next job should be a DoM. The only real issue with this though is that the top candidates for this (red mage and blue mage) are traditionally hybrids, which would be a lot harder to fit into a game where it's one role to one job.

A SAM tank could easily play unlike every other tank job that currently exists. More active blocking/parrying; more emphasis on reactionary techniques. Imagine a job that's actually encouraged to stand in AoEs to absorb and reflect damage.

Right now, among the three tank jobs, we currently don't have anything like that. I'd certainly enjoy a more active-defense style of play.

RDM could easily fill a "supporty DPS" slot next to BRD and MCH with unique buffs of their own (kind of like Astrologian). They'd have access to both THM and CNJ cross-class skills, and would probably be the only other job to get access to Astral Fire/Umbral Ice, though the job would not be centered around it for obvious reasons. BLU, on the other hand, would definitely need to be a different flavor of DPS. Not traditional, no, but then, they kind of eschewed tradition when they made DRK tank to begin with...

Sorry but how about making the 3 new Jobs we have right now fit in Line first before dreaming about the next job Catastrophe?
