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

Edit - Oh, and Red Mages have effectively no in-game lore right now either. But I have faith the dev team will take the NIN approach and add some for them leading up to it, or they'll take the MCH approach and have it come out of nowhere and fit perfectly.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but the little slide said they used a mix of Black and White magic, yes? My husband pointed out that the BLM quests in HW (I haven't done them yet) involve a rivalry between black mages and white mages. He suspects that the red mage story might pick up from that thread. It makes sense to me.

RDM was hinted at thru Ilbred.

There is a very big shortcut there. Ilberd used a kind of magic sword, a spell that is iconic for the Sorcerer/Mystic Knight/Spellblade/Magic Fencer/whatever-name-they-decide-to-give.
But, in FFXI (and only in FFXI), magic swords were given to Red Mage, so people immediately considered that ability a core part of that job, and thus, concluded that Ilberd was hinting at Red Mage.

In the end, yes, we got Red Mage, but it doesn't appear to have anything to do with en-spells.

You mean when he used the old Gladiator skill Lotus Blade?

I still think dancer. How does Samurai fit in with this expansion? o.O

There is 0 hints about Samurai in the game. For NIN and AST they were hinted at(Thancred and the AST in the tower in Coerthas). RDM was hinted at thru Ilbred. DNC we have in Uldah already...and why would they show the girl in red dancing like that?

MCH had Merlwyb to hint at it and the guild in 1.x series. Can someone show me where Samurai was hinted at?

how does dancer fit into this expansion? ala mhigans dancing with joy at being oppressed by garlemald?
the "dancer" in stormblood trailer, isn't a dancer, she's a monk, just like derplander; she's not dancing, she's practicing martial art stances...like they do in every single asian martial arts movie, that's ever been made.
do they need to hint at jobs, in ARR, before they can release it in 5.0? do they need to patch in hints a year in advance?

I'm not saying I think it will be DNC, because I don't, but it wouldn't so much be 'dancing with joy' as it is covert martial training disguised as dance.

Although a melee healer would add something new to the healer role.

Dancer = Capoeira using tank confirmed.

He also said the same regarding Scarlet Witch t shirt, that he wore it because he liked the character, during Las Vegas Fanfest.

While I don't have the translation on hand, if he did specifically bring up the director in some way, it was almost certainly for a reason. If it wasn't related to the job(SamuRaimi), then he could've very easily let the community distract itself away from other possible candidates. By specifically denying the director name, he's in fact leaving clues to direct attention in a certain direction.

Or it could just be a Red Herring.

It bothers me how they say multiple new jobs, but only made 2. Multiple makes me think more for some reason. That or wishful thinking...

Well they mentioned its one of two jobs, but someone mentioned that tweet was removed, so perhaps it was a typo?
