So let talk about other things.....

Will you support for a Songstress Healer Job for 6.0 expansion?

Song Magic for Healing skill is a interesting concept despite the possible FFX-2 Jokes that may come from it.

Given FFXIV track record I doubt a new healer will appear in 6.0

I like the idea, though I'm still hoping dancer comes out as our healer class I wouldn't mind a songstress job class to be the alternative.

When you said Songstress, I was thinking of the ones from the Ar Tonelico series. They would sing to either deal damage or support/heal the party, ok granted that's not FF but I still thought it was kinda cool anyway to have Song Magic like that.

I'll be willing to support a Songstress, I can see interesting ideas coming from it, but more as a fusion with Dancer instead of feeling like Bard but as a healer in terms of aesthetics and feels.

New healer would be nice, and dancer would be nice, but a Songstress/Songster job from the sound of it seems like it'd be cutting pretty close to BRD flavor. A decent amount of BRDs (me included) wish that the class had more actual BRD flavor than just shooting arrows everywhere, so it'd feel kind of bad to see another class actually get the musical flavor our job's supposed to be based around.

Remember when BRD had access to the healer LB?

job name needs some work since it's not gender neutral, but perhaps "Idol" ...

Which technically is already a thing in Eorzea courtesy of Little Ladies Day events.

I wouldn't mind, but I think a lot of songstress abilities could easily be applied to Bard (a job we already have) or Dancer (a job that's in much greater demand from fans), so I don't think it's a likely addition. I wouldn't be surprised if we get some songstress-themed glamours for Dancer though.
