Machinist class

For instance, the job was created in Ishgard in FF14. They do not use Chainsaw and Drills. They're fighting dragons. When it comes to taking down a flying lizard, a gun is more suited than a chainsaw.

And a rifle more than a pistol. I'm not sure there's a single use for the aetherpack in dragon-hunting, and yet the much more applicable large-bore rifle was sacrificed to leave the other hand free...

I assumed it's where energy for the various gadgets came from, back when Grenade shot was a thing.

I imagine it powers the Flamethrower, Ricochet Shot, all the Heated shot variants, holds the pitch from Wildfire, etc.

I do hope more gadgets come as new abilities. Edgar was a mainstay in my FF6 team. He just made such a strong impression. "Who needs all magic when you got AUTO CROSSBOW!"
