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

who said i'm mad, i made a one sentence post. People have been saying some very very stupid things when it comes to BLU.... and Yoshi-P's idle musings 3 years ago doesn't mean we aren't getting BLU. Blue Mage has been heavily hinted at in game lore, Yoshi said the next job will be something iconic in line with FF's 30th anniversary(Blue mage/enemy skill/blue magic has been in more FF than RDM/Red magic). BLU is easily the most straight forward guess from the spiderman shirt. I've had to deal with so much "BLU won't work in FFXIV" bull. ALL jobs added to FFXIV have been changed to match the battle system, the mages are scaled down massively in this game (BLM only gets 3 elements, SMN has a chicken nugget for a summon), Yoshi literally just talked about having to change RDM from what he thought it should be to make it fit.

It was in the Naoki Yoshida's room part...you can find it in this thread:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme..._naokis_room/?

He spoke of BLU and how if he does ever put it in somehow it will be a solo job. It's not coming anytime soon...lol he confirmed that during this part of the live stream.

Anyway I watched a bit of the Spider-Man cartoon and the movies , the way Spider-Man moves around the bad guys and how he shoots the web..reminds me of dancer. He literally dances around them and insults lol its great...

I was gonna say BLU due to the story of Spider-Man, but not after hearing Yoshida speak of it in that live stream.

To be fair, if he said "I can't really talk about that," or gave any other quick pass it would be a huge red flag for the class. And as long as he states it as his belief he's not speaking for the team and whole of FFXIV.

Spider-Man eluding to DNC... my only hope is they make it feel as far apart from MNK and NIN as possible. If it heals i'll actually be excited since I spend a ton of time /dancing anyway. If its SAM/Shogun... eh, would have preferred a more hype shirt is all.

Good point...however, what about him saying "It (BLU) won't come for a long time" that part confused me as well...>.< and same, if it is indeed DNC I don't want it to be like nin and mnk....that would not be too fun

The thing is, he brought up BLU and BST without being questioned about it. It's not like the guy asked him about Blue Mage and he deflected with a personal opinion of how it should be done to avoid confirmation. The guy said he predicted Shogun as a tank job for 4.0 and then Yoshida brought up BLU and BST, i.e. he used them as deflections to avoid talking about Shogun/samurai or even acknowledging them. That's more telling in my opinion.

That's more telling in my opinion.

I don't know, Yoshi seems to be playing into us picking everything he says apart this year. Him making those jokes about the reddit threads kinda leans towards that. While I agree that him dodging talking about SAM/SHO is a bit telling, I am also wondering a bit, that he might be doing that to mess with us. To make us look over towards SAM to distract us from something else. I can't tell, but Yoshi's playing a pretty mean troll game this year.

Many Dev & Community Team Members have stated the enjoyment they get out of Job Speculation threads.

Tinking about Jobs Who uses a Whip-like as weapon, there\\'s DNC in FFT.
That\\'s my guess.

You are gonna get BLU fans into a stir. So I will just say it for them.

Quistis from FFVIII uses a whip and....

Double misdirection? D: I love and hate Yoshi-P, seriously.
I honestly think he's avoiding the subject on SAM/SHO for a reason though, and to me the whole director thing and spiderman samurai is too coincidental. But I won't discredit the BLU theory, although I personally don't think they'll do 2 mages in 1 expansion. Just my input though.

Keep in mind, I'm not saying he is WITHOUT A DOUBT doing double misdirection. I get a feeling he might be. I've stated my opinion of the Sam Raimi theory before, so I won't beat that drum. I just think Yoshi-P and the team are playing into the speculation rather then just observing it for the giggles. We'll see, it could just be SAM with a connection that NO ONE saw coming or he could honestly be presenting something to us and we're not seeing it cause it's right under our nose. Either way...this is pretty fun to watch/discuss.

Before this fan fest I was all in for Sam being a DPS, but after reading your pot and logic - I'm all in for Sam tank. I love reading your post b/c you seem to make the most logic arguments for Sam being a tank. Perhaps the Spider-Man job is related to a possible new healer job no one knows yet - i m hopping for a dancer with whip b/c I can't think of what other healer job it could be.
