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

[Dualblade]

Red vs Blue seems to be the THEME, not specifically the MNK is a blue mage, or even that the other MNK is a RDM. But, that the theme of Red vs Blue is everywhere at this point.

So going to the Moon to fight in a boxed canyon confirmed for Stormblood.

Wonder why we're goin there though...

RvB reference?

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...

Part of me wants it to be Samurai, but one has to wonder, will SE release two sword wielders this expansion? If the rumours are correct that we will not have 3, but 2 classes, then do you think SE will release two jobs that wield a 1h sword?

i dunno about you guys but that sounds like a teaser for some story and ominous events to come and get excited for as we move towards 3.5 to 4.0, it absolutely does not sound even the tiniest bit like they're hinting a job /facepalm

You're missing the fun of speculating.

And I accept your argument that we'll be seeing 3 jobs: SAM, RDM, BLU. :-p

So the new housing area is on the moon and doubles as an open world team killable PvP area?

[aesteval]

woah careful there, you might start ruining peoples fun and get attitude from people if you disagree

There's a difference between speculating while respectfully disagreeing and outright attacking other's speculation. You're being a bit aggressive against the poem interpretation while your quoted message isn't shouting down any other viewpoint.

That's is concept art for Stormblood? I hope we aren't getting a Bagpiper class.

[Tizzy_Tormentor]

If we don't get Spider-Mage I am going to be severely disappointed.

After seeing that concept art I don't think we will.
Hear me out. Peter Parker = Peter Piper

Confirmed BLU using bag pipes?!?!?!?
