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

This disucssion will contain some spoilers.

So simple question...

If SE release 1 new Job in 3.X era what do you think it will be?

I have no clue myself but my best guess would be something that can fit into Ala Mhigo lore or Garlean lore or at least something that allows the Job to be introduce within 3.X era MSQ without it feeling out of place either being...

Dancer Job (A lot of refugees are heading into Eorzea as was mentioned throughout the storyline so maybe a group may bring with them the Dancer Job arts or is already some where in Ul'dah)

Gunblade Job (The game been beating us with this Weapon since 1.0 and still continues to torture us with Gunblade users in 3.0 keeping this one Weapon type out of reach for Players or gameplay. Garlean Empire is rising once again and there remains the possibility of garlean defectors in Eorzea who may bring with them the Gunblade arts.)

Based on the other jobs, terrible.


Probably Samurai. =D

I also think we'll get Samurai, with the Domans shifting more of their culture into Eorzea, including craftsmen, we're likely to see a second eastern style job.
I would not be at all opposed to a Samurai.

I'm hoping for more balance to the force. By that I mean more DoM. We have so many DoW and so few DoM in comparison, I would love to see more DoM jobs. Either some kind of Mage Tank or to finally get our beloved Red Mage.

What I think we will see in the 3.X expansions is, Nothing. The only reason they released the ROG/NIN like they did is Yoshi-P felt that job was missing from the initial lineup of classes due to the sneaky stuff it could do. It was the one element that was not existing in the game.

Musketeer....

I don't see them creating a job JUST for the gunblade, when Machinist is still poking around and most aren't too thrilled with the job as it stands right now. If anything, they will give that job gunblades, you can pretty much count on it.

I wouldn't go that far with machinist but if they do it most likely may be a Gun Attachment for level 61 to 70 skill that change the Gun skills into Melee skills. However, we already know how people feels about change a Jobs gameplay style and changing MCh gameplay from a Range user into a Melee DPS user may cause some bad friction so doubt this may happen.

However, considering the nature of Gunblades in FF14 currently being more Melee orinated for their combat with their Range combat as a secondary combat use we have seen so far in cutscenes they may make Gunblade a separate Job if they introduce a Gunblade user.

The lesson learned from this is not to refrain from introducing changes to gameplay when necessary, but to ease people into it. BRD had the misfortune of being designed around instants and off-GCD attacks and they shoehorned casting into it without revamping the job's overall gameplay to be cohesive with casting.

People wouldn't have had this issue if SE had made changes beyond adding WM and that one change to Barrage.

I've seen too much enfire (freaking little PLD wannabes casting enfire on themselves during that fight in the lv60 PLD quest) and swords lit up by Ilberd to not think that RDM is not in the pipes. What worries me is how they're going to implement it.

I have no desire to see a gunblade wielder because its not very classic FF job-like.

I'd rather see Dancer or Samurai.

If we ever got a new job before the next expansion (which sadly is not likely), I'd hope for Dancer, personally. It's one of the main classes I'd love to have in here, especially after watching it in FFXI.
