Hints at new class? Maybe?

[Kradus]

Why don't I want the job? I don't find it appealing. I've never felt gunblades were an interesting weapon. Others can demand it, no problem there. I just really hope that it isn't, so that a different job can be added. I'd take geomancer or dancer or some other original job over a gunblade job personally.

Well, it doesn't have to be just one job. I think that a gunblade using class, geomancer, and dancer are all pretty feasible guesses.

[AxlStream]

I'd like Templar...

[Latarma]

I have a good guess of what it is but it's a spoiler from the latest MSQ.

I think it's a garlean/gunblade using class because of the reappearance of Gaius on our side in the latest story quests

i didn't even think of that all i took not of was the guy hand a commander's gunblade

[Anarnee]

Back before it was confirmed no more jobs would split like SCH and SMN, I always hoped we would get Templar as a tank from LNC.

;; I still would love it to be a tank.

Why?

There's been a strong demand for it ever since the game launched and 5.0 is very likely going to take us to Garlemald. DRG had strong ties to Ishgard. SAM had strong ties to Doma/Hingashi. GUN would have strong ties to Garlemald.

What makes you think we're just bee-lining it straight for Garlemald? We still have many more places to go.

Also, I'd have to go with a "no" on the gunblade too mostly because of how utterly impractical they really are.

[Raiya]

In fairness Garlemald is smack in the middle of the map now with Othard on the east and Eorzea on the west.

The latest MSQ is dropping extremely strong hints at this point of the next expansion being Garlemald itself. We got ascian meddling focused there in the form of Elduldis playing Grand Theft Zenos and Emperor Facepalm in tow while the REAL Zenos has gone Grand Theft Elezen and want a rematch with WoL because why not!?, a dissenting faction in the empire who are more pro-peace because they realize the empire's modus operandi is actually backfiring on their desire to rid the world of primals in that its actually PROVOKING them and we now have an all but confirmed Gaius who's actually managed to survive the end of Castrum Medanium and is seemingly hunting down the Acians with his band of hunters as he recognizes them as the real threat.

If the next expansion is where we think it will be then it's more than likely that there will be a gunblade class released possibly as Magitek Knight since it would be the nearest description unless they're planning it to be closer to Squall's archetype under another name.

[Penthea]

Why not both?

Geodancer?

So When you say GUN do you mean Gunmage or gunner or gunblade?

[Duskane]

I think Gun blade(GNB) would be a good edition if it was other Brd/Mch type

If they do add it hope the don't cop out with the emotes and make them Squall related
like they did with Dark knight and Cloud

I just don't want another sword job. How about another blunt damage user or something? Maybe a whip?
