How do you feel about Dancer not being added with this expansion?

[seraseth]

I'm glad it's not being released in SB, not because I don't want the job, but because it is one I'm really looking forward to. But I'm also really interested in both sam and rdm. And I wouldn't want all the jobs I want to see released at the same time. I'd just have to divide my attention between them, and rush through leveling them so I can play the other ones etc.

I'd rather have only 1 or 2 that I'm really excited for per expansion than 3 or more. In HW drk was the only one I was really excited to see(not a fan of guns, prefer bows, and ast was interesting, but an unknown entity so was only curious not excited).

Dancer being put off to a later expansion just lets me savor what I do have now.

After the disappointment of not getting Dancer, I started to see it as better not being released now, because Yoshida decided to released two DPSs só people can play with those since most players are DPSs, and instead of releasing another Tank and Healer, the dev team is going to work on balancing and making the healer and Tank experience better with the existing ones.then next expansion prob Will be the healer/tank expansion and there's a greater chance that Dancer can come as a Healer. And as a Tank and Healer player, I'm looking forward to see what SB is bringing for my AST and PLD. And I guess I'm gonna have fun getting insta runs as soon as I hit any Duty Finder

I'm sorry but the first trailer by no means whatsoever hinted at all to Dancer. It's clearly just a female monk.

I'm still holding out for dnc, maybe it'll be released in a 4.x patch like the link someone had posted where Yoshi had said maybe after the other jobs and everything else gets balanced or in 5.0

I could see dnc as a melee type healer but it may be also better suited as a dps. Having battle type fans as their weapon for a combination of slashing and wind based attacks would also suit the job in my opinion.

I'll try out rdm and Sam and maybe I'll like one of those like I had with drk and ast and take one of them up to 70 after my blm and whm.

i am relieved , really hate the idea of dancer job it sounds very boring to me

would rather see blue mage , puppet master or beast master

So ok Dancer wasn't released I'm hoping that it will be one of the next Jobs to get released until then I'll enjoy the new expansion even tho the hype has died for me.

I'm quite disappointed, I really would have liked for Dancer to be in. I like the ideas and aesthetics behind Samurai in general, especially the comment from Yoshi that they are kind of using Kurosawa's Seven Samurai as the starting point for it. That itself makes me interested in it. Red mage too might be a fun class, but, I was really looking forward to, and hoping for Dancer.

I personally would have loved for Dancer to be either a melee (physical) healer or an agility tank. I can see how a melee healer might work, but the game is not really set up for agility tanks, and they would be very hard to balance.

Eh... I'm not against Dancer being introduced into the game at some point, but I'm definitely more interested in, and excited by, both SAM and (especially) RDM. That said, it's interesting to note that since the classes we are getting are both DPS, it's safe to assume that - after ironing out the balance between them - a new healer and/or tank is much more likely than another DPS to be our NEXT class, whether that comes in 4.x or 5.0. So it seems likely that either Dancer will be one of those roles, or we won't be seeing it for quite some time (if ever).

I do feel it's a bit disingenuous to make a list in the OP detailing why you were convinced Dancer was on the way in 4.0, including in that list your observations of the Lady in Red, and then later on come back and try to say "let's not start that again" in response to people pointing out for the umpteenth time that she was not, and never was, a dancer. It was a huge stretch to begin with to say that she was, considering she never actually DANCED in that trailer, nor did anything that couldn't easily (and much more fittingly) be attributed to "martial artist." You saw what you wanted to see. So yeah, to some degree, you and everyone who were all but certain that dancer was a lock for 4.0 did set yourselves up for being disappointed when it didn't happen. No one "slapped you in the face", that's really an overstatement of the situation, that a class you were hoping for didn't make it in.

And they haven't broken the tradition. They did NOT release the section containing a Samurai until after Samurai was announced.

I was disappointed there was no rdm section of the trailer.

I simply listed what it was I had seen from my own point of view, I was excited about the POSSIBIlTY dnc would be one of the new jobs I never said I was certain that it would be.

This post is about how people feel about dnc not getting added in as well as hopes for it's future release, not to re-open past arguments.
