Class Request: Necromancer

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.

Are you so insecure with yourself that you feel the the need to call others close minded because we want it to stay in the realm of Final Fantasy? Simply because we do not agree with what other people want or say? I am not close minded, I am for having necromancy type magic but the class itself has no place in Final Fantasy that I have ever seen.

It's kind of like drinking your favorite beer, imagine if the company just out of the blue just started adding lime flavor to your beer and it doesn't say anything about it on the can or label or anything. You would most likely be disgusted. Obviously I doubt anyone would truly be disgusted if they added necromancer but it just doesn't fit in the lore of the game or into any of the jobs themselves. Would take far too much work to add something to the game like that which has no ground to begin with.

He's right though. Saying it doesn't fit into the lore of the game is a terrible excuse as they can do what they please with what little lore they have available (Expect mass retconning in 2.0). Necromancer isn't FF but Puppet Master is? Give me a break. It could work and work well.

It also fits the theme of Thaumaturge perfectly. I've seen suggestions on these boards that were waaaay worse than a harmless necromancer. I honestly don't even know what "within the realm of Final Fantasy" is suggesting. A Necromancer can ride a chocobo and rock a fruity pink haircut.
