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

[Cherie]

"Spider-man, spider-man, does whatever a spider can...." yanno?

Blue Mage maybe? They do what others can. But that link in tenuous at best I know as well. Also, considering Yoshi-p is Japanese and his age, he may be more familiar with the "Supaidāman" tv show instead which had Spider-man but a completely different origin and story (but basically the same abilities). The familiar western Spider-man song wasn't in that show that I know of.

I mean it's narrowed down to the ones mentioned in the rising I guess?
And I suppose someone probably already linked: http://game.watch.impress.co.jp/docs...w/1036771.html
So we know the "Sam Raimi" link is ruled out....as yoshi-p said that wasn't what he was aiming at.

I guess it could still be samurai or even dancer as well just Spider-man is so ambiguous... Based on the interview though, he seemed to say he was wearing the spider-man shirt as based on who he is and now necessarily his depictions in various movies... His characteristics and etc... But since he chose the shirt himself, it's just his idea... so it's not like its Illuminati level complicated. He probably just got a idea, bought a shirt and put it on... At least in the interview he seemed happy we are putting so much thought into it...lol

No. Sam Raimi isn't ruled out. This is a translation of the section about the shirt:

Oh, it does not matter (laugh). Because the director of "Spider-Man" is not alone. It may be a spider's nest. Even though I just said "FF" seeming job, "Spider's nest" is a story (lol). Well, I wonder if they could imagine and get excited.

Note "Director of Spider-man is not alone" and reference to a story titled Spider's Nest. Searching for stories with Spider's Nest in the title leads to Girl in the Spider's Web (sequel to girl with the Dragon Tattoo) its original Swedish title translates to "That which does not kill us."

It looks like the Shirt may be a double reference to both Samurai and Blue Mage (which could easily be a tank).

It is not Time Mage until it gets a real Haste, Slow or a pointy hat. Their magic doesn't deal with time itself but with celestial bodies. Sure they can influence time with Celestial magic, but it is not the same. I guess they couldnt call it Time Mage since it was going to be a healer.

I don't get what you want at this point. The arrow is FFXIV's version of haste. Nothing is (and really shouldn't be) a carbon copy from the past.

They DO have a pointy hat. Astrologian was REVEALED in its signature pointy hat / time mage attire.

TIME Dilation doesn't deal with time? Light speed which makes cast times 0 doesn't affect time? Spear and Arrow which cause skills to hit more often aren't pseudo hastes?

Potency Enhanced arrow is probably as close as you're gonna get to a Hastaga in 14. Even if you add a haste skill, arrow already covers what early renditions of haste did. Again, it doesn't matter if it's not time mage to you, it is time mage.

What if spiderman himself is misleading and the actually connection is Peter Parker or another character?

Sometimes a rose is just a rose.

I'm not really sure what would be the point of a misleading clue...as we kind of need to know something, anything at all, before we can be mislead away from it... 0.o The prior shirts were pretty spot on too!

I'm gonna call it... The answer is gonna be a full on "Dad joke" and all of the dads will snicker once the truth is revealed... The reason we can't figure it out is because the actual tie in with Spider-man is soooooooo corny that we'd never deliberately pick it out as the answer as it would be too cheesy of a connection....

Dancer it is then.

I can't think of anything more cheesy than the way that my Dad dances...talk about lack of Rhythm.

I still think it's beastmaster.

No, spiderman doesn't control an army of spiders, but he does, in a sense, become like a spider - shooting webs and climbing and he has the spider sense.

What if the FFXIV beastmaster doesn't control the beasts, but rather becomes them, a la Vincent Valentine?

I admit the more I think on it I don't know what to think. He says the director of the movie has no influence, yet at the same time has stated BLU would probably not happen as it's more believed for solo content? Unless they are just flat out lying or trolling, I honestly don't know if their is something else we may possibly be missing? Granted only leads me back to being acrobatic, thus me thinking Dancer again. =/

As for the AST = Time mage, I kinda feel that is what they were going for.

Bravely Second tries to differentiate between Astrologian and Time Mage. (But then I'm also disatisfied with class uniqueness in Bravely Second.) (But again, two separate jobs.)

I still say dancer. Just google dancing Spiderman :P
