What could be the next DPS?

[ADVSS]

We could get a hunter/ranger/sniper class that shoots off the Archer class, Bard is more support oriented while the new class could be more damage oriented.

A job, sure. But not a branching class, I would assume maybe a crossbow user if anything.

Next dps class should be a mime... I'm serious though...

I could see geomancer as more of a tank... some sort of beastmaster/blue mage, dancer, rune knight, time mage, green mage I can see... cavalry would be cool, mounted on chocobo using lance and shield and able to use choco-ball, choco-meteor, choco kick and choco-beak, not a pet class...

I'm mostly hoping for DNC and/or BLU for the next round of new DD jobs, whenever that may be.

I kinda hope they don't add BLU tbh.. I feel they will butcher it like they did SMN. Meaning, the class will be nothing like it has been in other FF games that they are beloved for. SMN in this game is really more of a DoT class then a Pet class.

And the fact that they will likey have to force BLU into a role AND they will likely not learn anything from beasties and instead have a class quest to kill a specific mob for that specific skill. I think it would leave a sour taste in too many peoples mouths.

While I totally agree they would "butcher" the job, likely, I'd be surprised if they never ever add BLU. Before HW launched Yoshi-P said something about acknowledging that BLU is a very, very popular job and they got lots of requests for it, they just had to figure out how to implement the job. It might not get added to the game, I suppose, but man I'd be shocked.

Heavensward SMN without any summoning.

Thing is FF Jobs don't really play nicely with a role system after an initial few. Especially when this game actively avoids support roles.

So all you can really do is look at job history in FF, what had high representation throughout the series and roll the dice. Outside of them discarding Thief, we've gone through all of what you'd probably call "A" list jobs with Samurai and Red Mage now in place. We'd probably move onto wider interpretations of the more of the "B" tier with jobs like Beastmaster, Blue Mage, Dancer, Geomancer, etc.

Beastmaster seems very logical to me as it's one of the more prominent jobs and the game probably needs another pet class. One that should actually be a pet class, unlike Summoner.

Dancer also seems like it makes sense, especially since depending on what franchise entry you're looking at it could be DPS, Healing or even an Evasion Tank.
