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

[Texa]

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).

A sword + a floaty crystal in the off-hand. That's not very innovative. I'm excited to see how RDM actually plays but the weapon isn't really exciting.

I'd like to be able to see jobs that give us nunchucks, Merlwyb's dual weilded muskets (it says they're muskets on the wiki), whips, blitzballs, puppets, a proper gambler DPS, hand bombs, flutes, or brushes someday.

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 ^^

What's funny and speculated already. Look at the Lore description for Alchemy:

Masters of Science and Nature, the devilish and the divine, alchemists ensure their livelihood through the transmogrification of mundane materials into wondrous waters─from curative concoctions to potent potables.

The Ul'dahn school only recently came to be recognized in scientific circles as a valid branch of alchemical orthodoxy. It is based on fundamental principles originating in the Near East tradition, but draws heavily upon esoteric elements of both Lalafellin herbalism and Miqo'te occultism as well.

Spiderman referencing a "Sticky Situation". It's out there, but would be quite a curve ball to the SAM/DNC/BLU crowd.

Except Alchemist already exists as a class in the game.

Chemist, was just using alchemist class to show the tie to the Near East.

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.

Please don't even think about that job-ruining idea, please. We were already saved from that garbage weapon type by yoshiP and now you chuuni dweebs want to ask for it back? Just don't. Scythes aren't even cool.

You know, it is quite possible to voice distaste for an idea WITHOUT talking down to/insulting people. Just a thought ya know.

Though I wouldn't mind at least one scythe-like weapon to kinda nod to the XI days. Just one. Anyways, this train of thought is goin' off topic. Moving on!

It seems to me that the only thing confirmed is everyone's bias...

Chemist in classic FF and Alchemist in XIV are very different. Saying Alchemist exists does not discount Chemist as a viable job (even if it has a slight name change - Bravely Default calls in Salve-Maker, Tactics A2 was going to call it Transmuter).

To be honest, I really hope that most of those never come to FF14 as weapons. The only one I'd like in your list are the whip and the double gun (and not even sure about this one since we already have the machinist). The others look like joke weapons and although they can be fun once in while (like yokai watch weapons), I wouldn't want a job based only on joke weapons.

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...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.
