Know What Class I Wish For? Geomancer

[Shougun]

I think Geomancer has the potential to be an interesting job (mechanically) so definitely looking forward to a concept like it.

In FFXIV Geomancer is literally what the Domans call Conjury (with a bit of Astrology thrown in), so CNJ is literally GEO under a different name and fused into WHM. So you won't actually get GEO as an actual playable Job I'm sorry to say (GEO NPCs show up in the Swallow's Compass dungeon).

I understand that this lore may make things difficult but I have to say about lore (and proven true with things like Summoner) that the lore can shift to make Geomancer happen. If people want an area element based job then SE could certainly deliver one. I only say this strongly because you say it's "simply not possible" but I'll have to really disagree with that.

The lore should extremely rarely actually get in the way of anything. Demi happened, so can Geo. Actually Yoshi-P has gone on record saying the lore should not get in the way of the game.

Shouldn't go back and change lore (retcon) but I think it would be sad if you were to suggest there is no way SE can add new / more lore where a Geomancer like theme'd job could exist. Anyway I guess I just don't really like these lore noes because they've been proven different later many times, they're really not a good no. Bringing them up to show difficulty is fair, but to say something cannot happen.. I can't get behind that (especially as it's been said and shown to be adapted/added to later to make things work).
