[Ralts]

it's gonna be a dnc; spider produces silk, plus dancer prefers silken garment/weapon

[Jas710]

Pantyhoser job confirmed. Alphinaud the man-girl also confirmed as official mascot.

I could remotely entertain the idea of the SamuRaimi theory if it was at least a shirt from those movies, but it's not, and Spider-Man is associated with a whole slew of people before you can think about the director of some of his movies.

On the flip side, some people have said "Blue Mage because Spider-Man's costume is red AND blue, just like Stormblood will have Red Mage AND Blue Mage!" but there's no blue on that shirt, so that theory doesn't really hold water either.

I'm hoping for either BLU or SAM, really. Win-win scenario. But the other theory out there about how it relates to his powers being obtained from a spider (aka mob) seems a little more plausible to me that BLU could actually be coming.

Except people who think this tend not the know there is a poem alluding to the colours red and blue. Spiderman get's his agility from a spider...

Perfectly logical when you put these two thing together.

The logic works, what doesn't work is the discussion that Yoshi P had at (one of?) the fan fests questioning how BLU would be implemented, saying that it didn't really fit the gameplay. Red herring perhaps, but I agree with him in that it is the only job that I cannot make gameplay predicitions on that are not stupid (hell I have two for SAM depending on whether it is tank or dps)

Doesn't even have to be a red herring. This is something he said ages ago, and he may have since thought of a solution, or simply changed his mind about it. Folks change their minds all the time, and Yoshi P in particular has a few rather infamous flip flops under his belt already. ("Player housing will be separate from FC housing and much more affordable," anyone?)

Don't forget he once said RDM wouldn't be added because it wouldn't fit into the game with the existing Role System, that it'd break the spirit of the class.

Except he literally said pretty much the exact same thing about Blue Mage during the second day of the JP fanfest last month, during his Naoki's Room segment. So if they are implementing it next, it's either going to be as he described it as a terrible idea of a non-group content monster ability collecting mini game essentially, or he just straight up lied on stage 2 months before it's reveal.
