Class Request: Necromancer

[Dargoth_Draconia]

There have been many threads about pet classes. Although Summoner is nice, I have no fond memories of it from FF11.

On the other hand, the Necromancer class from AoC was the only thing that kept me interested in that game, because it was implemented so well.

I would love to see a Necromancer or some other type of pet class added to FFXIV that allowed you to have *multiple* pets simultaneously. You could have 8 pets in AoC which was just right.

It would be thrilling to see my tar-Lalafell running around with 8 Life Stealers.

Thx

Necromancy would be cool but it really wouldn't fit into the Final Fantasy that well. I have never seen a necromancer class in any FF title I have played and personally want to see it stick to the guns. Yoshi-P is working very hard to bring the Final Fantasy feel into this game because to me personally it was severally lacking. The world is starting to come together and actually starting to feel like a Final Fantasy title. Pop Necromancer in there and it would be just awkward.

Now on the otherhand I wouldn't mind if another class got necromancy type spells because that really would fall under black magic.

People using the "not ff enough" card to justify excluding anything they dont like are rather inept at arguments, if you ask me.

Personally, I have an aversion to necromancy because it just seems a bit goth for my tastes, but I wouldnt pretend to say it has no basis to be in FF simply because of that.

As it stands though, necromancy does seem a little out-of-place. Necromancy seems like something that should be a criminal offence. I cant imagine practitioners of necromancy really fitting comfortably into the game world. It just seems rather dark for the tone of the game.

Im neither here nor there, though. It could work, if done right, but it could also seem like a stark and unnatural juxtaposition if done wrong.

I think it is ridiculous to think Necromancer is not Final Fantasy when it is indeed part of it. Whether it is in its lore, enemies, bosses or like one of the jobs in Final Fantasy V advance, people should not ignore those irrefutable facts.

Ok so soooo many people are saying it is not a part of the final fantasy world. What about when they introduced guns and robots to the series, like those bot things you used in the beginning of final fantasy 3 or whatever one it was? Did people say OMG NOOOO WHAT ABOUT MY SWORDZZZ? No. They went with it.

Just like in this one, if it doesn't fit with the final fantasy feel when there are guns and ships in this one, what's the difference between adding a necromancer? I think it'd be cool that they could have their own hidden guild somewhere's. They could implement it so well, or incorporate it with THM. I'm tired of the happy go lucky game we have now. We need some darkness. And people aren't justifying why it doesn't fit with final fantasy.

If that was the case, then they should take out the guns in the game because what's the point in having a sword? I don't know, just sick of the people participating in threads saying NO and not saying why.

Like someone above said this game could use a little darkness in it. For a world on the brink of total war its way to happy. I think with the coming destruction of the 7th umbral era necromancy could totally find a place in the game. I wish it would be implements cause i love necromancer jobs. however i doubt SE will incorporate it, theyd need to do some creative revisions to the lore in order to fit them in perfect. id hate a half assed necro.

Think for most the its not part final fantasy crowd there in absolute denial of the fact's. Then they continue to give misinformation to hopefully sway people in there belief in that necromancer isn't party of any final fantasy game. Sorry to be another bearer of bad news to those people it is indeed part of ff series people just need to use google to find this simple fact out!

Yeah I really can't stand people "necro isn't FF", you guys really are game nazis. No innovation or anything will ever be allowed to the FF series because you're a close minded person, and they count you among their consumers. That's sad.

Bring back necro with concept that White magic will kill them, add another element to game play, make WHM have to think about not curing the necro. This thread reeks of the current players "ifrit is too hard gimp it because I'm not good enough" thought process.

I want to see a pet class, but please, no classes like necromancers or warlocks. They're just not very Final Fantasy, IMO.
