Class Request: Necromancer

[Enkidoh]

There are other jobs I don't care about leveling, but the difference is that I don't deny them of their existence. I really think people should welcome new things that will appeal to many different players as possible.

That's fair enough, but just chucking a class/Job into the game because it's 'often requested' without taking into account how well it may or may not actually work or fit into the game's environment and setting would really just be fanbaiting, and would also be essentially repeating history ala 1.0 (basically a 'make it and they will come' mentality) - something Yoshida is extremely keen to avoid at all costs, rightly so.

As SE have stated in the past they're not going to be adding Necromancer to the game shows that Yoshi-P and his colleagues have thought this through and come to the same conclusion I did - that the class just won't work in FFXIV.

There is already Necromancy lore in FFXIV. Thaumaturge is based on its storyline, so the game lore supports it. Also, Ul'dah fought in the past against a city which used raised zombies as soldiers.

Can you provide any source to prove this?
