It's winter, the cold is here, and many sit indoors with darkness outside. Amusement is needed. What ridiculous Job could you imagine to have or exist in-game? It could be something mundane, or something else re-imagined as DOW, DOM, DOL, or DOH. Maybe a Pacifist Tank Job? Manderville Man Job? Battle Cook? What could the abilities, skills, spells, traits, and/or Limit Break be?
What about a battle version of Weaver, similar to the Mascot dressphere from FFX-2? Or how about something like the Festivalist? What would they be like in FFXIV?
