What Limited jobs would you like to see in the future

[DracotheDragon]

I saw a lot of posts talking about the limited jobs, some praising, some complaining, and others just flailing in randomness.

i guess this is another flailing in randomness lol

so if you had the choice what job would you like to see into the game as a Limited job something that plays uniquely but doesn't fit in formation with standard ffxiv parties.

My one would be Morpher,

a rare chance similar to the way they said you could learn skills from monsters, you have the ability to 'PolyMorph' into new monsters, with the job and skills being learned by a friendly imp (since imps can change there shape) while morphed you gain access to some of its skills and it uses MP to hold the form (or to attack that way you can sit and chill as a monster), once your MP hits 0 your back to your normal body with skills catered to recharge your MP but your far weaker.

this mainly is due to my own love of playing as the monsters in some games, but imagine like in rival wings when you play as brute justice or the other mechs how cool it would be to do something similar with monsters being chosen from the open world, or even some famous bosses from the game.

the other fun benifit would be for RP (i know I'm from balmung and i said rp but hold on) say if you needed a monster in your sinario or just like to immerse yourself in the world and don't want your character there, you can have a monster join the fray and even make nice pictures of creatures where they are not meant to be (like a marlboro going on an adventure to see the world)

but yea thats my idea, what would you guys like to see as a possible limited job

(also this is just for fun, if your not a big fan, i get it i know, but since its coming why the hell not have some fun with the ideas)

None. If I wanted solo content that might as well be offline, I wouldn't have played a sub-based MMO.

You do realize that a large portion of the player base enjoys solo content.

an online video game which can be played by a very large number of people simultaneously.

thats the definition of an MMO. Just so you don't trip on your words. No where does it say. Grouping is mandatory in an MMO.

You do realize that they could have solo content without limited jobs? Or solo content with onion knight/freelancer?



Read your post again and I probably misunderstood your intent. I assumed that since this is a thread about limited jobs that you were saying they were required in order for us to get solo content. I apologize for my tone.

So, "screw the onion knight/freelancer fans. What matters is MY favorite job"?

SE doesn't have to cater to fans of a particular job.

SE doesn't have to cater to anyone but it's in their best interest to have their content be as wide of a "net" as possible and that the content is compelling enough to retain the most subscriptions. They are taking a big risk with the limited job concept. Solo content along with full jobs would more than likely be the better strategy for them.

There are options for how blue mage could work in 14 but they didn't go that route. How could they make jobs that can use almost any piece of equipment and learn most magic work outside a strictly solo design?

Morpher sounds cool, let me change to tonberry form and HK everyone xD

Some kind of Beast master/Beast tamer would be great.
Collecting different monsters sounds really fun.

Beastmaster is definitely the best idea I've seen bandied about for this system.

Catching loads of mobs, pokemon style, and battling them against NPCs and other players does sound genuinely fun. Could even tie it into the companion chocobo, possibility of glamouring him as various beasts you've tamed.

Be even better if these limited job minigames were an extra layer on top of a proper playable job, but whatever
