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

[BlackCross]

In the interview he said that the new class is a "spider webber", so I think the new job might use strings. Puppeteer comes to mind, but then again Samurai/Blue Mage and Dancer have been more popular and he said he doesn't want another pet class for a while (?). Apart from that, I only know assassin type classes who use strings as weapons, but we already have ninja. I think Blue Mage/Beastmaster/Samurai are possible, but I don't really see the connection, since all of his shirts have been kind of "in your face" hints so far that have been obvious. Or maybe they will do a new job or one that no one thought about?

Do you know what a joke is?

Yes?

All of this T-shirts have been incredibly blunt so far (example: Scarlet witch), this is the first one where people are really unsure. I just thought I would go with the most obvious (for me): Spider man- spider webs- strings.

If that sounds weird or like I'm taking his joking around too seriously, then remember I'm just having fun speculating.

You also have to look at the shirt he wears in context of what is said when he wears it. I'm pretty sure I read a translation where he said, "I like red, but also blue." All while wearing a Spider-Man shirt. And if you put that together, with the origin story of the superhero in question, BLU is very obvious and blunt. Bit by a spider and gained it's powers.

That being said, RDM is a whole new thing for FFXIV. Who says they can't combine traditional BLU with something borrowed and something new? Maybe it will combine the powers of BST and BLU. Maybe this BLU will trap monsters to learn their powers.

Reading some of the stuff you guys posted here, Blue Mage does make sense to me. I mean, there are certainly things that speak for Blue Mage. My only concern would be that they already added Red Mage and having two mages/ranged dps in one expansion seems like overkill to me. They could make Blue Mage a tank, healer or even ranged dps of course, but I'm not sure if fans of Blue Mage would want that.

Also, do you guys think they will only add two new jobs or 3? I would love to get 3, but most signs seem to point to 2 new jobs.


And lastly, this is really random, but has anyone seen the screenshots and artwork for Stormblood? I was really surprised to see artwork for what I consider to be the new AF gear.

There is an ingame screenshot of the new monk gear (I'm not a fan to be honest), then artwork for Ninja, Black Mage, what I think is White Mage, Red mage and this one (Bard I think?):




Just because a lot of people were saying that red and blue seem to be the colors this expansion, it reminded me of this...

Jokes can be clues. :/
