RDM in action... Can't wait!

[Nezerius]

I hear this nonsense constantly, but nobody has ever actually produced substantive evidence that it ever happened, much less that it was intentional "trolling".

Unfortunately, the imgur album that contained those datamined icons has since been deleted, its source being a reddit datamining thread on the 3.15 relic files.

Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme..._icons_likely/
Archived imgur album: http://wayback.archive.org/web/20151...ur.com/a/m5meR (with the images no longer available, sadly)

The first set of images were the icons for the second model of the anima weapon, obtained after finishing the step with the 80 unidentified items. The book icon was just a simple book, similar to the icon used by the book obtained with centurio/allied seals. The rainbow elixir was an elixir-like icon with rainbow-like colors, and the "New Atma? 1" and "New Atma? 2" icons were black and white versions of the 2.x atma icons.

It's not definitive proof anymore, due to the lacking images, but it's something that has happened, as those books, atmas and the rainbow elixir have never been used ingame.

There is no guarantee or requirement that we have 3 jobs, nor do they necessarily need to include a Tank or Healer at all.

There is not guarantee, yes, but I think you'll find that if RDM is the only new class, it's going to completely wreck DF ques. It'd be a better balance to release a new tank or healer class for players who like playing those roles. RDM is already so popular that I imagine ques at the launch of stormblood will be pretty abysmal, even if they add a new tank or healer.
