Alisae's Job (Spoilers within)

[AdamuKun322]

So, here's what I believe about Alisae.

After she gets hit with Flare from the BLM. She Summons her blade. Which looks like a Rapier. I feel she is a Red Mage. Thoughts? Or maybe an entirely new job designed from the ground up specifically for 14?

More like Runic Knight or Mystic Knight. Red Mages doesn't summon magic blades.

guess we get rdm in 5.0.
it could mean anything but ill wager shes showing off a new job. She hinted at kearning new abilities while travelling the world
however, using her book may just be her own unique way of having that particular weapon type at her disposal
plus she doesnt really strike me as someone who would wield a heavy physical weapon, but a weightless aetherial one? sure

nerding out that reminds me of mordenkainens sword from dnd, where a mage could summon a blade to melee with

That's my thought to. If I recall, the devs tossed around the idea of some sort of Mage Melee. So, maybe she could be Mystic Knight? Sounds like a possibility.

This was my first thought, as well. ("Is it Red Mage? Nah, something seems amiss... Maybe Rune Fencer or something?") But, then again, we've got the DRK tank and the bow BRD and the faerie SCH and a bunch of not-swords with sword names. They're clearly not afraid to break with tradition if they think they can fork it in a way that fits within XIV. Alisaie did say she seeks to master all fields of magick; a jack of all trades and a master of none is RDM's MO... but it could be pretty much anything, lol.

RDM did have Mystic/Rune Knight abilities in Final Fantasy Dimensions, so it is possible. It's not unusual for them to combine a few aspects of several classic jobs and merge them into either a new job or an old one. So I would say that we will be getting a RDM but it might have Spell Blade abilities.

Glad someone else made this thread because I sure wanted to.

Honestly, although I hope its a new job, I hope it has NOTHING to do with a book. Magic sword? Awesome. Magic and Melee? Sounds cool. But another book being involved? We have enough books. Honestly watching the cutscene in general made me meh because I watched 3 people pull out books in a weapon fight lol.

Red Mage, Rune Fencer, or Mystic Knight.

As shown with Dark Knight, they're not afraid to take liberties with franchise staples.

Neither do "Runic Knights"(whatever that is) nor Mystic Knights.

Alisaie: There is no one path, as some are given to say, and there is wisdom in exploring every school of magic, as there is in exploration of all things...

Screamed RDM to me personally. I highly doubt it'll be the Red Mage of ages past though, because yeah--- bow bards, fairy scholars and the like

Heh, now imagine if your Warrior of Light, like mine, did the fight on Scholar. If anything the Warriors of Darkness were the odd ones out! They brought weapons to a book fight!
