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

[ZioSerpe]

So I was re-listening an episode of LBR and they were speculating on how there could be a different style of martial arts developed underground in ala migho, wich brought me back to Capoeira and how it was created; I honestly do hope the new job is a martial artist inspired dancer and this could be a perfect lore fit.
I still think it's gonna be BLU, which I have 0 hype for... I hope I'm wrong though.

We don't need another martial artist when we have monk. They would just end up most likely being the same job.

How did the spiderman Tshirt debate devolve into DNC vs. MNK again? Hasn't that been spoken about to death in a thousand pages of forum thread? Yoshi P said we would learn who the girl is in 3.5, which is next week. I'm pre-emptively sorry for all those of you who created speculation out of nothing.

Holy fuck we get it, we're all fucking dumb for expressing an opinion that differs from your own. Now apparently you know with 100% certainty which job we're getting so mind giving us your leaks?
Or maybe, maybe you're just as much in the dark as we all are which means you need to get off that high horse of yours and accept that other people have different theories.

Breath dude, you'll hurt yourself You'll notice the key thing I said is that the argument has been done to death and that we will find out next week. I don't know anything and neither does anyone, except for what we can see in the trailer. I'll reiterate what others have said that if THAT is dancer, then I feel bad for the creativity department in that apparently MNK and DNC are so similar that they can spar with similar movesets (seriously, go watch the trailer), but either way, it does not matter what you think, or what I think, because we are likely to find out the truth next week.

So if it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, then let people talk about it if they want to, even if its been argued six feet under the ground. I mean even you still found the time to type paragraphs and give opinions about a topic thats been done to death lol. So let everyone else do it.

We don't need another magic user when we have whm. They would most likely end up being the same job... Oh wait... Blm, smn, sch.


See how that works? Lol.

Or swords? We don't need Another sword user it would be the same Job... Wait a minute....ninja gladiator darknight... Shit. They did it again.

Lol. Damn monk is the only bare handed combat class. dancer, with their moves, could easily incorporate some mnk skills(with having cross class currently and whatever they are changing it to later) and still have its own style.

Hell they could have a small blade of some sort to go with their combat style.

Wait and see, it's the best we can do.

Oh come on that's disengenuous and you know it. "Martial artist" is a hell of a lot more specific to class identity than "mage" or "sword guy", so I don't know why you try to muddle the issue with bad examples. A much better case would be if SE teased Geomancer as a "holy-themed earth mage", or Templar as a "dragon-themed spear-wielder", and you can BET people would throw a fit over their WHM and DRG class identities getting the shaft.

People shouldn't react any better to "rhythm-themed martial artist", and if they do it's only because they're too in love with the idea of Dancer to see how bad it would be for the game. Besides, I see that as an extremely lazy way to implement a new job, and I know SE can do it better if we don't encourage them to slack off.

Geomancer as a "holy-themed earth mage".

It would be nice to have more variety. I don't think we actually have any holy themed jobs in game barring maybe the Paladin. White Mage isn't a holy(Read: God themed) job, so I don't see what a holy themed earth job could compete with.

Oh come on that's disengenuous and you know it. "Martial artist" is a hell of a lot more specific to class identity.

I'd actually argue that martial artist is the least specific of the three. Martial arts involve much more than unarmed combat and also includes any form of martial discipline that uses a weapon, such as a bo, nunchaku, kusarigama, sai, and even just a plain old sword and shield. If you've want to get really technical, "martial arts" encompasses pretty much every art, or discipline, of war.
