They are thinking of creating a new job unique to ffxiv so lets give them some ideas!

[BucklesTrespen]

I haven't played all the final fantasy games so I don't know if this has been done before; but a Spartan-esque tank that uses a spear and shield. Strong pysical defenses that play of other melee jobs (defensive brotherhood type skill) and counter attack based design. Game needs more tanks before DPS and healers I'd say.

[Claire_Pendragon]

I would like to see them add a pet job for melee dps (puppetmaster?) and tank. Then every role in the game would have a pet variant.

Though most "Pet Tank" idea seem to be "Have the pet tank", and as much as I'd like to see that, honestly think the pet would have to act as support to the player tanking instead, due to a lot of the limitations.

Probably something like the BST doesnt have tank stances, but instead, the pet toggles between doing dmg, or putting a tether on the tank to heal them and raise their enmity.
(And for invuln, maybe have the pet equal you in threat, and then stay ahead of you in hate, taking 75% less dmg until dead, unable to be healed, and reseting their summon action.)

I wouldn't mind that Musketeer job from 1.0 that we were teased with. I know we got Machanist now but there are ways to make it different.

[Recaldy]

The girl from Aldouin would be neat. Pretty much a monk with hand magic similar to fighting games throwing orbs of magic. Her trust is a good example for those who played XI that far.

That seems like a monumental task, there have been so many jobs throughout the various games. I might be wrong but the only job type I can think of that's not prevalent in the series would be a necromancer type job. But I'd agree with Claire, if they are really doing this then they likely already have something in mind.

I know that Engineer has already been a thing, but perhaps a Magiteknician? Could learn from Cid or Nero... It could feasibly fit any role you wanted it to, though I kinda like the idea of a healer who uses machines and a big two handed hammer...

For this game, if they implement Beastmaster as a tank, I would like to see it function more like Interceptor/Shadow. Just give them an offensive pet and a defensive pet and the pet can intercept attacks, give defensive buffs and perform their own attacks. Or perhaps even one pet with a flank configuration for offense and a guard configuration for defense. Instead of an HP bar for the pet have it be the Beastmaster's resource gauge so it doesn't become a convoluted healing debacle.

They do have their own ideas but they do like feed back and how cool would it be to see some form or shape of our ideas brought in the game. I mean its worth a shot to try, because if you never try then it will never happen. So who knows they may actually like some of our stuff better than their own.

Just posted this on another thread.

A job whose spells were casted after drawing certain character or runes on the air à la Japanese calligraphy with a giant brush (Mado BLM weapon) as well as having some sort of talismans or creating purifying areas on the ground. A Priest or Exorcist.

As a healer, I like the idea of having an herbalist who didn't actually use magic but whose abilities were simply concoctions.

Beastmaster with whips and having mounts/minions as the main source of mechanics. Balance needed, but maybe having 3 or 4 free slots in your skills that would depend on the kind of pet or mount you were using at the moment would make things simple. Maybe we could have more than one pet out at a given time? No dramas for OP minions. Skills might be simply based on it's category (Critter, Monster, Poppet)

Also, blunt weapons like hammers, maces, nunchaku or boomerangs.

[The_Promised]

The two tank shields and gunblade sounds interesting.

wouldn't mind seeing chain scythes, or a dual sword wielder, or add dancer with a bladed ribbon weapon.
