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

[Kaedan]

I still keep up the hope that we will get at least three new jobs. I mean we wont get any new race either so imo it would feel kinda bad if we also only get two jobs. I love quests and yet I know that after you did them once you wont do them again (only if you level an alt) so having new jobs is imo often the thing that will keep people playing longer and gives the most new feeling and diversity. (This is all just my opinion)

I dont care what jobs we will get but I really hope that its more than two.

I do too. And I'm pretty confident we will get three jobs.

The main issue the dev team had with HW was that they had just made the NIN job and they had a lot less time to make DRK, AST, and MCH than they have had with Stormblood. So while the dev team might have complained at that time about having to make 3 jobs (in many ways 4 jobs with NIN), there's really no reason for them to complain with Stormblood. They haven't been rushed and have a lot more time and money to work with.

14 days to go folks... we can make it.

Can we? Imma send all the blood pressure medicine receipts to Yoshida!!

I hope we are getting 3 jobs too. That is what will keep me playing, especially if it's a job I've been looking forward to. If not..eh, still will try it.

Much rather have new jobs then throw away quests. Since the team isn't having to make a new race and if indeed the new budget is super high I would hope there is at least 3.

I hope your right. But I'm holding onto 2 jobs and going to be pleasently surprised at the announcement of 3 jobs. I won't be disappointed at only 2 jobs though.. well as long as they aren't both DPS. I play all 3 roles but in an order of preference it's Tank > Healer > DPS. So as long as it's DPS/Tank or DPS/Healer I'll be happy.

Although I will be really disappointed if there is nothing big coming to characer customization, with no new race coming there seems to be no excuse for only 3 hairstyles. I wouldn't even mind just some extra face options and maybe just maybe have Au Ra horns separated from the face... I don't even play Au Ra and I'm really happy with how my character looks right now, but I would love some more variety in the player base looks.

I hope we are getting 3 jobs too. That is what will keep me playing, especially if it's a job I've been looking forward to. If not..eh, still will try it.

I know what your implying. And for your sake I really hope we get DNC.. As long as I get my SAM No but seriously I think DNC fits Stormblood too well and if there is a 3rd job it just makes sense to be DNC. Again, I won't be disappointed if we don't get it, due to my selfish desire for SAM. But at least if DNC also came... so many people would be happy. Oh well, we'll see in 2 weeks.

It will be Samurai. Homei say it, too

[Vexander]

DNC would be a good fit.
BLU matches the spiderman shirt.

SAM needs to be added. If in 2 weeks time we see BLU revealed, my money will be on SAM being added as a third job, like AST was. If its SAM which is revealed, I'd hope for DNC to be added as the third class.

If it's 3 jobs I'm going to go with SAM being hinted in game like AST and Spiderman T-Shirt meaning another job, either BLU or DNC. Personally think DNC because if a 3rd job is added it will most likely be a Healer, and BLU being a Healer? No thanks.

If it's only 2 jobs we're going to have to face the Sam Raimi theory... e.e

If only we could have 4 jobs this expansion. Though that leaves the question, what would they possibly add for 5.0? Dancer and Blue Mage both feel like they'd fit an Ala Mhigo setting. Red Mage, not so much. Samurai is obviously Doman, but we don't wait to go to a place to get a job from it, we usually just get a job or two from a place we -do- go to.

That's the thing, RDM and SAM are the most hype jobs requested and their both coming out in Stormblood (most likely) and from doing a bit of personal research on some of the xiv boards, BLU and DNC are close competitors. Saving these two for the next expansion makes a lot of sense. I can see BLU Melee(Maybe the opposite of RDM, a melee/ranged hybrid but mostly in melee range) and DNC Support Healer.

But themes are out of the question as much as they make sense. They've thrown themes out of the window because they don't want to limit people from playing the new jobs behind the long winded story. Which is reasonable. Besides, did we see DRG as new job introduced in 3.0? Nope but it was the flagship job, just like MNK is the flagship job with 4.0. If we ever go Doma then what is stopping NIN and SAM being the flagship jobs in that expansion?

This is my opinion if they add 2 jobs btw. if it's 3 jobs I have another opinion like I've expressed in previous posts.

Is it wrong that I'd rather have Blue Mage as a tank than Samurai at this point?

Not that Tank BLU would be my ideal place for it, either. I'd much rather we got a BLU DPS in Striking or Scouting gear class with SAM in Maiming. I just mean if one of them for whatever reason has to be a tank, I'd much rather it were BLU.
