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

Again, this seems like a muted argument to make. Its like if the fight were between two mages, one with a White Glow around them, the other with a Black Glow around them.

"She uses Mage Skills. She fights like a Mage. The next expansion features Mages. She's probably a Mage."

Thats...not a great rebuttal. Monks are a SPECIFIC Job in this game, and the woman in red fights like one. Its easy to believe she is a Monk instead of a new Job who's fighting style is extremely similar to Monk.

Meanwhile your argument makes it more obvious that one would be a White mage and the other Black Mage while only saying "mage", and even then it would be a correct presumption because its obvious the character is a Mage.

Ok, but they didn't show off any of the new jobs in any of the announcement trailers. No smn/sch, nothing from 3.0. It makes sense, as 3.0 featured drg, and the trailer showed drgs, and 4.0 is supposed to make monk the main focus, and thus, trailer shows monks.

I'm not saying the woman isn't a monk, just that it's a bit of a fallacy to say there can only ever be -1- class making use of martial arts. Its like saying there can only be -1- class making use of magic. I'm just trying to offer a point of view on why people saw the trailer and thought, 'Dancer,' instead of, 'Another Monk.'

I know however, monks do not fight with cloth and break the armory system we have by using a one handed retractable blade and cloth ><

I am not saying she is a dancer 100%, but I can confirm following the armory system this woman is not a monk by normal standards. Monks use two handed weapons..she just has the blade. (You can find more artwork of her with the blade and CGI images and read about it in interviews) The second the trailer was first shown my boyfriend and I looked at each other and jynx said "DANCER!!!" because, well..I do dancing for a living and we do Aerials all the time along with all the other stuff she did...so that is what instantly popped up in our head. The beginning part where it shows her looks exactly like a lot of the dances I do.

After that though, with the kicks and such..I can see where people relate it to a monk, for sure.

Anyway though, I would say...if she is not a dancer she is just simply a unique NPC with no particular job.

And to answer someone else asked why we see it as a FF dancer or how it fits in? I think just the way Yoshida put in MCH (It is nothing like the MCH in FF12 or FFT) I can see him doing the same with dancer. In the original FFT, Dancer was a pure debuffer and you would just try to hide them in a safe corner and dance. The dance would go off randomly and hit every monster on the field, regardless of how far away they were. Most dancers in the FF series were like this. The one in FFV was awful however, and barely did anything at all. It had an ability called "Flirt" haha.

So yeah, I would hope if Yoshida is bringing DNC to this game...he does not make it traditional at all, how lame would it be to just stand there and dance and randomly hit monsters in the entire instance? That does not even make sense. Of course it would have to change to fit into FFXIV as every job as thus far. Look at summoner...haha.

Also I wonder if people think SAM will be like SAM in FFT or the original FF Samurai. I guess you better have tons of inventory space because you'll need to carry around disposable swords. Also SAM was always VERY slow. In FFT it would take forever to get its turn...and then it would pull out the sword and either heal near by PT members, restore MP, or do some attack on near by mobs then go back to standing there. Oh and every time you took out the sword to use one of the Samurai's skills, it could break lol.

In FF5 SAM would throw money..haha. So just saying, its okay to put in traditional FF jobs..be it SAM or DNC, but they'd have to be changed a bit :P

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

Wonder why we're goin there though...

Red, Blue, AND Omega is coming...

[NinjaTaru72]

Red, Blue, AND Omega is coming...

Or since there's the moon, space, maybe the ark from ffix?

Anyone else aware of Hamamura's "predictions" during the Fanfest? He was being interviewed along with Yoshi and he dropped some thoughts that could or could not be taken seriously.

1) He mentioned the possibility of 3 jobs and Yoshi reacted

2) Speculated a tank addition to be Shogun as SAM tank

3) Afterwards, Yoshi discussed his thoughts on BLU and adding pet jobs in the future


With that being said, BLU seems like a distant plan since Yoshi mentioned it. If it was hinted, he would not say anything I believe. My source is the FFXIV Reddit Discord (datamining/translation section).

With 4.0 cross class system will change!
They already said it will focus more on the role and not on the job, so its possible we can choose from all meele skills as "meele DPS" and so on...

Edit: my mistake, should have written "(..) it may be possible that (..)" wasnt trying to say that they plan on doing so

Still, we will have Unique Job Skills too - my guess is because of how each job is getting their stacks and power ups (just think on how diablo3 does it)
They will not begin from scratch, so i think it is some sort of buff management or chain system to make some skills "better" for your job than others...

[Celef]

Haven't read throu all the 50 pages but has anyone think about that :
- 2 jobs according to the "mistake" post on twitter
- 3 Fan Fest
- Yoshida looooooves to see us to speculate

.....Maybe this shirt has nothing to do with the new job at all and was just here to troll us until the EU Fan Fest ^^"

If so, goodbye crapy DoT and welcome SMN/BLM hybrids ! \o/

No. That is not happening. They are moving must have skills for various roles into Role based skill sets.

"Must have" skills such as Provoke and Cleric Stance will be part of the Tank and Healer Role Additional skill lists respectively. You will not be required to level Gladiator or Conjurer to unlock them.
