THF

Well taking into consideration of a few comments and responses, we will most likely see THF>NIN (or Scout>NIN) in 1-3 updates after the release of 2.0 (maybe longer depending on the number of glitches and major issues that need fixed, along with people needing new endgame content after 2.0s release)

The idea was to bring 1 to 2 new classes before 2.0 (which may or may not change.) and more after 2.0.

Yoshida mentioned more mage classes 1st, but recently asked which classes people would want 1st.

Ranged Mage DD/debuffer
Beast Tamer/Summoner Buffer DD
Scout/Ninja DD

People mainly voted for pet, then ranged mage DD/debuffer, and lastly Dual Wield.

So I would assume a similar level of popularity will be across the other forums, leading Yoshida to work on THF/NIN last (I wanted THF/NIN as well)

Since there has not been a real poll on the issue we could only hope it's included on the up coming poll.
We needs more dual pokeys up in here.

True, it wasn't a poll, but just people stating opinions.

People generally wanted pets, but some of them only said pets, because there was no pet class, and they wouldnt play it.

And out of the 3 options, we need another class capable of healing a group on its own, more than all 3 of these.
CNJ won't be enough on it's own.
Much less another Ranged DD, another DD that uses a pet, and then another DD DWing.
I do agree the game has plenty of melee DD, but I will still vote for the combo I would want the most, and play. (THF over the other 2)

THF along with RDM were the 2 jobs I enjoyed the most when I played FFXI. I used to do a lot of stuff solo like camping NMs, farming ect & with those 2 jobs I always had fun.

Like anything its personal preference, each to his own.
