Everyone gets caught on the pet tanking when it comes to beast master but if the pet is a part of you (as in the weapon, no more than buttons and commands) then technically it is still a beast master with no delay or lag like in Summoners/Scholar pets. Least that is how I see getting around the whole deal or worry, the new weapons simply being a new pet or the chain/link that binds you to the pet. Like stance wise when the weapon is out the pet is in front and on guard/ready where as put away he/she walks by your side like a loyal pet.

That would be the Morpher!

Morpher (めたもる, Metamoru?) is a job from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Only for the nu mou, Morphers take the forms of captured monsters in the Monster Bank. When morphed, they can use all of the abilities the monster has in battle. The effectiveness of the Morpher will depend on the stats of the monsters in the bank.

Actually I liked how you had to use cross class abilities to capture the monsters! Only Hunters could.

For a Morpher to learn anything, they need to procure souls that are dropped by captured monsters. Hunters are the only class that can capture monsters, so it is crucial for the player to have one if they plan on raising a Morpher. Once a monster is captured, its Soul is automatically added to the inventory and then is able to be equipped to the Morpher.
Once a monster is in the Monster Bank, the player can then start raising it by feeding it items.

With the revamp of the class sistems they anounce will add more jobs for curently classes, as in dancer being a new job for pugilist? (with a lore similar to capoeira, where slaves on brazil develpoed a martial art disguised as a dance?) All we can do is speculate at this point XD.

They aren't ever going to do branching jobs, that's been 100% confirmed. It isn't speculation. With the nightmare of balancing issues around SCH and SMN, the devs have said "NEVER AGAIN."

The only "revamp" is how the cross class skills are accessible. Instead of each job only have 2 sub classes to pull cross-skills from, it's going to be by role. Example: A Dragoon can only pull from PUG and WAR. In the new system, they'll be able to pull from other relevant dps jobs. Like say Rogue, since nothing can at the moment, therefor they would be able to theoretically cross class Goad.

there is not much problem if they add both DPS in middle expansion where ppl are already max leveland they dont have much to do, but ninja was release and we all know what happen.

now think in a expansion from the start, with 2 new DPS, not only normal DPS, 2 extremly popular DPS, this go to make a lot of ppl from all roles go to taste the new jobs, of course some go to level they mains first and others like me for example when 3.0 comes i take the DRK from the begining to the end.
this means less TANK and HEALERS by default with means queues with a lot of more waiting time in new dungeons and primals affecting the progress of a lot of players.

its dont go to be the end of the world but go to be a shot on the feet for the start of stormblood until the we recover (or not) minimun the actual number of tank and healers, and can be months.

At Heavensward's launch, DRK was the most popular job being played, so much so that Tank queue times were extremely long, and they started at level 30. It was like that for about a month. Progressing was difficult but not impossible. People will play the new shiny job, get bored of it or quickly max their levels. Then they will return to their main jobs. It will not be the end of the world or 'a shot in the feet.'

It means Blue Mage of course!

If they really are putting samurai in for SB and we already have ninja, what job will be the headliner for the inevitable expansion when we visit doma? Since thats the Eorzea equivalent of an Eastern land and all.

I think there was an interview where Yoshida said he would want Shogun as a tank with Samurai as DPS? Maybe that would be a headliner. Alchemist for some reason stands out to me as doing well for such as well.

That won't be a problem, as there isn't a Doma anymore.

Doesn't mean we will never visit Othard lol unless..

They'll never want to go back? Well if there won't be any expansion with that then I guess we are never leaving our continent? And if that's true then they can throw in samurai any time..like ninja...how boring.

I think you mean Othard, seeing as Doma has been purged. But that's less to nitpick and more because we know from the Au Ra that Othard has both Japanese and Mongolian vibes (Raen and Xaela respectively). So it's possible we could get a classic job but with a more Mongolian theme to it. Beast Master would fit this completely.

That being said I still feel like SAM would do much more to sell 5.0 than using both RDM and SAM to sell 4.0.

MNK is the headliner for Stormblood at it has been in the game since launch.

Also most of the hints we have been getting seem to suggest we will be going to Garlemald proper in 5.0, not Doma. I doubt they will follow up a "Liberate a nation from the Garleans" expansion with another "Liberate a nation from the Garleans" one.
