Ideas for new jobs

[Hanayumi]

Beastmaster!

We may actually get beastmaster but its more likely going to end the way of Blue Mage, pretty much if the job requires you to do more then just level it, it'll prolly be of those limited jobs...

Skill collection for Blue Mage
Monster collection for Beastmaster
Part/salvage collection for Puppetmaster

As for new Jobs I remember a couple ideas I came up with years ago

Chemist - Healer! "Mix" ability combined a few other items together to create heals, buffs, and attacks. Mudra-esque have a couple skills that are different ingredients, mix and match them, then use a final skill to either toss your mixture onto friendly, onto enemy, or splash everywhere for aoe. Could also have a working Mug/Steal ability, snag an random item from a mob that you use with mix, so maybe it could come off rogue's line, melee healer with potions & poisons?

Mystic Knight - Mage Tank! Spellblade ability to imbue your sword with elemental properties. It would also use some original mitigation spells, shell, wall, reflect, and such. Idea I had before was Ice sword would be your def stance and Fire your dps stance, but since stances are more or less gonzo I guess it would need to work differently, maybe what element you imbue with changes certain skills or even your combo.
Fire sword - combo 1, norm>combo 2, aoe>finisher AOE high damage
Ice sword - combo 1, norm>combo 2, single target>finisher single target high damage
Lightning sword - combo 1, norm> combo 2, dot> finisher debuff

Yes, its so lame they limit jobs. I understand its for balance, but it kinda just sucks.

How about we consider the settings?

For instance, if we got a spooky steampunk Victorian area comprising at least half our zones... Augurer and Gambler.

But, if we got a deeper elemental expansion that takes us into the thick of the Shroud or Sharlayan lands... Wildling and Devicer.

I just want them to balance the jobs we have already tbh

[Altera]

I would say NO New Jobs. Fix the ones they already have before adding more. Balancing already is pretty poor as it is. We do not need 2-3 more new ones to add to the balancing costs

Not that I don't largely agree, but... necroing a thread over 6 years dead just to say that you'd rather not participate in said thread?

Wouldn't it at least have made sense to put this comment on any of the ongoing New Job Ideas threads, or at least one from, idk, this year?

For a potential Blitzball class, maybe they can look towards Soulcalibur V for inspiration since a character named Viola uses an orb the size of a blitzball.

more new jobs, there is enough problems with jobs all being the same and it takes too much precious development time to adjust content to the amount of jobs that we got already, removal or merging some of the current jobs together would seem like a better plan to me and then the Developers spending much more time making content that is not MSQ based.

We need the content.

[RedLolly]

Someone revived a very old thread, lol.

But Yoshi-P previously stated new jobs are a requirement for each expansion. We're badly due for a new phys. ranged, and it's way too easy to imagine blitz ball being the concept they try.

[SlackerCasserole]

A Soldier class wold be a nice one, already a precedent for it in FFVII

But I would imagine it as more physical ranged. Like RedLolly said, we could use more of those.

A hammer-type tank would be cool as well.
