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

[lulunami]

Who was Spiderman's biggest nemesis in the comic books and movies? He is no other than Norman Osborn a.k.a. Green Goblin.



What is Blue Mage's most iconic move? Goblin Punch.

Blue Mage confirmed!

[Lambdafish]

Dancer. Its confirmed :/

Today I was walking on the streets while thinking of the spiderman shirt; a stay dog started barking at me.
I shouted "SIT!" and he did.


Beastmaster confirmed

[Fluffernuff]

Tch. Spiderman is Marvel's mascot. Cmon guys.

Mascot is going to be the new job

Guys i think i found something. so this may be a coincidence but it lines up too perfect. the main things spider-man hints to is dancer, samurai,chemist and blue mage. OK so the collectors edition in game item reveals might be more than just randomly chosen things. Bartz is from 5 and 5 has all 4 of the said jobs to be able to use. Syldra was a summon that dealt wind aspected damage. Each job is assigned an elemental crystal. so not only does blue mage happen to be wind aspected,but the other 3 are all earth jobs with the only one being dragoon, the main focus of heavensward. its possible yoshida knew of the othero dismiss those jobs, and solidly confirm blue mage.

Spiderman -> protector of peace -> knight -> Samurai confirmed

[Celef]

Guys, Yoshida must be so proud of you and all your speculations xD



On a more serious tone, it would be so fun if it was neither dancer, BLU, SAM etc but a whole new world job no one expected ^^

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

I'm not a big fan of the idea that both new jobs will be using swords as their weapons. If they let Dark Knight have a scythe after Stormblood that'd shake things up a bit more, but idk if they even have any plans for that outside of Yoshi vaguely stating "mebee" in a interview once.

Eh, you never know what the weapon will be. RDM is already confirmed as having a new weapon we never saw in a Final Fantasy before (rapier+familliar).
