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

[ReplicaX]

It was in the key note at London.

If you have access to that live stream or can find it you can most likely see it.

I watched the keynote and I believe you misunderstood me.

Again AST seems highly unlikely to be the intent behind the 007 shirt. It was solely to hint at MCH. The Solitaire character from 1 movie out of 25 at the time, is just too far out there for players to predict considering how Yoshi has used these shirts. You also have to consider AST debuted in XIV. Why it was such an unexpected surprise during its reveal in Tokyo.

[Lufir]

Well, because all the previous shirts have never been like that. Batman was the Dark Knight, 007 was MCH and AST (Cuz James Bond uses a gun and AST as the tarot villain in live or let die) Scarlet Witch , Red Mage...all of them have had to do with fictional characters related to the shirt. Not actors, directors, writers...etc. This would be the first time, which is possible but hence.."Far fetched"

This is the first time I've heard that AST's reveal was tied to the 007 shirt. This has to be an assumption because that is more far fetched than the Sam Rami debate XD Especially simply because of a villain who plays cards in a James Bond movie? That's like saying AST was revealed because of his Batman shirt that linked to the animated series' Time King/Clock King villain. We can find anything if we want to get crazy.

To me the Samurai/Sam Raimi connection is too solid to not be the correct reference. I don't know how people see it as being "far fetched" when Samurai has been hinted via an in-game event in the past. Most of the other possibilities seem more far fetched than that.

Though Blue Mage would be awesome. I'm not sure how it would fit into the framework of FFXIV, but it would be super cool to see it.

Saying that sam+raimi=samurai is like saying that 1*2=3. "Well, 2 is close to 3, so if we change the 2 to a 3, then the equation is correct." See the far-fetched or reaching part now? You literally have to change facts of the "hint" to make it work.

EDIT: Grammar

[Atoli]

I want to believe in the Sam Raimi theory, simply because I at least can imagine forcing myself to play Samurai.
My dislike for both Redmage and Bluemage is so big that I can't deal with the thought of 2/2 jobs being something I won't ever play x.X

If, in some convoluted way, it was actually meant as a hint to an acrobatic class like Dancer, Juggler and the like, I'd be incredibly happy, but..idk...seems unlikely.

Spider Man's love is Mary Jane
Mary Jane = marijuana
Marijuana = drug
Drug = chemist
Chemist confirmed

I think that blue mage is an interesting job because you can learn spells from enemies, but honestly I don't think that it really fits MMORPG party settings. If anything, I think it would work solo and it would be really fun to implement it as a job where you go around and learn abilities from every monster, so I'd definitely like to try and do this, but I'm concerned when it comes to playing in a party players would put up barriers if you haven't learned certain abilities. Additionally, in the event you are able to use abilities forever once you learn them, the difficulty of learning abilities would be high, and we wouldn't be able to balance the system so it wouldn't revolve around procuring your abilities instead of equipment. This wouldn't be practical enough to fit in an MMORPG party setting and conversely if you are swapping in only certain abilities you've learned, the true image of a blue mage would diminish, so this is something that I am concerned with. -LetterLIVE 08/23/2014

Why can't we have the minstrel or another guy (for job quest) who use his power to help us to remember monsters we killed ?
With that, he could recreate battles and we could learn spell from it.

Don't ask me, ask yoshi-p, he said it, not me.

Says "recent interview" than quotes something from 2014 for a job coming in 2017.... this does not count BLU out.
