Vampire Job Idea

[FallenArisen0990]

So... Vampire is like Blue Mage... But it's actually not like a Vampire at all; it doesn't suck blood, or die in sunlight, or even sparkle. So... why not just Blue Mage? Why bring "Vampire" into it in the first place?

That is because Vampire has it's own set of abilities minus the Genome Abilities. Blue Mage.....doesn't. Blue Mage relies heavily on it's magic.

And people need to start thinking out of the box. This is Final Fantasy. Not Skyrim or w/e game. Bravely Default is a SE game so it's fair game to use it's jobs as well.

I think the problem is that it has waaay too many abilities. I didn't make a count (get it, count. Like Dracula) but it seems that with genomes included it has way more abilities than other classes. Still he idea has potential. I tried to design a similar class in the old vampire thread I made here:

There's 25 Genome abilities but only 15 junction slots (at max level) to equip them. You gain junction slots via leveling, instead of skills.

Sorry, like I said in the other thread.. Vampires are a race, or otherwise an affliction. It's not a 'job' or a 'class.'

Why? There's no rule saying they have to be anything. Only your short-mindness and obsession.

Rogue is right in this that is what they are their either a race a pure blood or they wer turned. Now not saying it's terrible but it have to be worked in a way saying their vampire hunters not full on vampires.

Like there could be a sect of vampires that's devoted to keeping their kind a secret but now ones gone rogue and is threatening to revile their existence because of their actions they need you to help stop them because they can't get too involved with other people so they give you just a small amount of their power to help but you won't become one.

But really I want a sword wilding blue Mage it's the only dps I want to play.

Sounds pretty close to blue mage

To those saying Vampire is not a Job/Class needs to remember that they are drawing this idea from Bravely Default's Vampire Job. Yes, typically vampires are viewed as a race more so than an weapon/skill set you can swap in and out at will, it was featured in Bravely Default which is a Square Enix game. Vampire in my opinion plays out like Blue Mage anyway.

I love the vibe and the feel of this idea but I will agree that Vampire in this universe should probably stay as a race if it is implemented, HOWEVER, tweak a few things and it can be given a different name with similar if not the same abilities. Personally I feel you could easily give this the title "Blood Mage" and tweak a few things here and there and it just as easily fits. (Even the quests could still be similar, just replace the idea of vampirism with Blood Magic being super forbidden and only practiced/taught at night out of fear of persecution or something.)

This kit to me seems to be a nice mix of Vampire/Blue Mage with the Physical+Magical DPS feel of Red Mage (Being able to use spells but also having a good portion of physical attacks as well). The junction slots with having an array of spells to pick from sets it apart even further from the others as well. Of course there will probably be ones that become obsolete as time goes on but it would be cool to have several nitch/situational spells to swap in every once in a while. To help with hotbars it could be that the actual skill on the hotbar counts as the Junction Slot # instead of each hotbar spot counting for the respective spells......constancy changing around 15/25 spells would be a nightmare lol. And the weapon being a whip instead of the usual array of weapons is awesome. I'm all for this idea xD

EDIT: Going even further with the physical/magical idea It could be that the main weapon is the whip and they could have an off hand that is some form of orb or blood accessory like an arm attachment or a jewel on the character's palms or throat. Just a thought lol
