So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

Like I said you can do it, I wouldn't mind seeing Tanks and Healer classes. The problem is anytime in MMOs where they experiment on tanks/healers how they play they always come out overpowered or underpowered due to just how the role is then have to spend a forever balancing it because they can't find the sweet spot for it purely based on how it was designed. It's the main reason games release DPS most of the time because they are easy to balance and you generally have more freedom with them without needing to take too many things into consideration.

Part of me gets the feeling they might reveal Samurai -and- Blue Mage in a few days, and then never tell us which the shirt was a reference to, just to keep this debate quasi-alive in the future for further speculation threads. "Remember the spiderman shirt referencing <insert job of personal preference>?"

Or it would be funny he says, "During the last Fan Fest, I wore the wrong t-shirt. In fact, Spiderman shirt is one of the t-shirt for 5.0"

Less than 48 hours to solve this mystery. Would be so interesting to see SAM with a twist. Much like DRG is Lancer with a twist.

...but Dragoon is just Dragoon, like the Dragoons that have been in the series for a really long time.

What?

DRG in FF4 was just a Lancer that could jump. There was no lore or supernatural elaboration on some inner dragon or whatever. In FFXIV DRG, there is some interesting magical twist, especially after 50.

Other jobs had that issue too. For instance, WAR was just the axe guy in classic FF games. Now, you get the inner beast thing which adds a twist. In the same manner, I am curious was SAM will turn out.

Get that popcorn ready for salt folks. Here we go.

Last bets: RDM - DPS
SAM - DPS

Forget roles, going by this we would have 3 classes per combat stat.

Here we go.

Last bets: RDM - DPS
SAM - DPS

*Slams 100 gil down*

This is what I am betting on as well.

[DBelmont]

RDM - DPS
SAM - DPS

That along with something to mitigate the DF issues is what I am expecting. Otherwise, I'll get rich by selling dungeons during launch. xD
