New Class Speculations

[CheshirePuss]

Ninja doesn't use a sword and doesn't play like a class that uses a sword would. You could base that on a technicality by saying some of the weapons look like swords however some of them also look like axes. Does that mean we have a dual wielding axe job if you use titan cleavers? No still a dagger job :x.plus ninjutsu is meh

But she's a potato, so daggers are like swords to her. D:

technically ninja use 2 ninjato, more precise 2 wakizashi ninjato type and are clasified like short swords so ninjas are sword users, you can use daggers too but are just glamour.

so you can arge you want a long sword dps user, but dps have already one sword user.

This is true. What about greatswords?

We're done making jokes about my size?

Ah, just had another idea.
ARR SPOILERS BELOW -- YOU WERE WARNED.





Watching 1.0 and 2.0 Cutscenes as background noise and forgot that the fight with Nero he wields a large hammer. Square since Tactics and beyond have touted an interesting class: Judgemaster.

It's been a new staple since FFXII/Tactics if memory serves. and in one of the new mobile ones I think, and it's a heavy armored job class. Now that if anyone beat ARR Nero is still alive and well and after the CT he claims that he needs to find a new calling.

Perhaps he could create the class and train would be adventurers in the ways of the Judgemaster, passing on his skills unto numerous proteges. Leaving a legacy, and a new job class for aspiring tanks who are looking to smash their enemies into a fine paste. This game would be perfect fit for them.

Ninjas in ff14 do not specifically use any type of sword/ dagger. Its literally all over the place from axe type weapon to sickles. Itd be more accurate to say Ninja is a user of ninjutsu and you can change your glamour to fit your preference. However the base weapon for ninjas in ff14 are daggers and the playstyle lends itself to that archetype more than a swordsman.

if you want to arge the ninja base weapons are the daggers when you say they dont use specifically any type of sword/dagger is fine but i remember you gladiator use those daggers in 2.0, this become they are dagger use too?

so is more accurate to say rogues use daggers bcs is the most common weapon with that size in those lvls, most ninja weapons at lvl 50-60 have a very long size to can't be clasified like a simple dagger or knife but not so long to be call it a regular sword like paladins use.

and playstyle or combat style if you want to call it in that way there is not much to say story prove a weapon can be use in many forms like old european knight how grab the sword from the edge and hit the oponent with the handle.

in other words ninjas are dagger users and short swords users depending the glamour you have it (you can call it double lala-paladin long swords users too ;3) , but dont tell me the ravana ninja weapons, gordian baselards yukimitsu, ohojo kai, sasuke blades, yoshimitsu and a large ect are in the same bag.

In the end, I can only pray that if they do release a new DPS, please let a tank or healer be paired with it. I can only imagine the wait times if its released on its own. Though healers/tanks will love it I am sure.

I think I would really like to see Red Mage or Blue mage even. Particularly want to see a magic user of some kind which wields physical weapons, not your more traditional staffs, rods, orbs, books etc.
