Which Job you want next?

[Ardent_Willow]

Got a few ideas for new classes:

Healer: Chemist. The weapon would be a kinda siege crossbow/catapult mix (Think like a steampunk grenade launcher and you wont be far off), it would be focused of defensive buffs and regens and its visual aesthetic would be plauge doctor-ish.

Tank: Necromancer. The weapon would be a mix of a two handed flail and a thurible (That thing priest have that smokes). It'd be the Pet user of the tanks. Its visual aesthetic would real Witch King of Angmar style.

Magic DPS: Mystic Knight (Or 'Rune Fencer' or something). The weapon would be some form of eastern sword (think scimitars or the like) held in the left hand while the right hand wields magic. The playstyle would be a kind of inverse Red Mage, insomuch as you would preform a melee rotation to access high powered magic spells, it would also fight predominately at close range. Visual aesthetic wise.. ok look, I saw Baahubali kinda recently, so the visual for this one is the gear Amarendra wears most of the time.

Ranged DPS: Gun Mage. The weapons would be a pair of simple flintlocks and a huge ass rifle/magic staff hybrid. Mechanically they'ed be half way between Samurai (Instant cast rotation builds toward channeled special attacks) and an inverted Dancer (shit tonnes of debuffs). Haven't pinned down an aesthetic for it yet.

Limited: Universalist (Name Pending). The weapon would be some kind of magic...hand...thing that would manifest ghostly weapons as skills would require, defaulting to MNK animations when auto-attacking. Its the Armiger, all right? Mechanically it would be a job where you could use skills from all other jobs you've leveled with no restrictions. Would probably require a resource bar of some kind.

Can see this being Onion Knight

i wonder if SE/yoshi is going to keep adding new jobs or start doing advance version of current class one day. most of the class that we have now is pretty much the "core" class in any fantasy setting. if they make something like... shadow for example, it kinda lost it hype since it just a twin class of NIN, but if they make shadow as further class extension from NIN, it seems make more sense to me.

but i never see any FF game that do this, not even FFXI, doing advance class like from Ragnarok online game

It is a rather questionable result though because on one hand if a X or Y Job evolves from Z Job but players did not level them before hand they will complain "it is not fair" because they had no interests in that Job until the new Advance X and/or Y job is released.

On the other hand the best part of this is that they can get creative with the Job and how the advancement changes between the X and Y job such as for Samurai can become more focused on the Sword thus adding a Tachi as a second sword for their left hand while their katana is for their right hand or become a Mordern Assassin with their katana for their right hand and a pistol for their left hand to represent them moving towards a more modern age combat style with the introduction of firearms to combat while keeping a bit of their katana skills for close quarters combat.

Gimme that Chemist.

In terms of Limited Jobs, Puppet Master and Onion Knight would be very nice additions. There are lots of minions in the game, especially gadget-based minions. It would be lovely to have a job that could do more with minions as a whole. Similarly, I like the idea of Onion Knights in how they start off terrible, but near cap they ironically become the toughest job around. I would imagine them using Maiming gear, especially since the Maiming Gear from Crystal Tower's Labyrinth of the Ancients is based on the Onion Knight.

Monk come like SMN/SCH as two jobs from one job

"Brawler" as tank job.

Pugilist at monk DPS / brawler TANK

So definitely healer. I'd be up for BLU being totally re-worked into it. Chemist/Geomancer is also another option

And as always, as unpopular as that's going to sound with the game, Necromancer or "evil magic" type of caster.

[AnimaAnimus]

I would love an actual pet job like bst or pup (pup especially although bst would likely win since it could be more flashy). One that relies and fights through their pets and not the lame excuse for a pet job they call a smn, where pets are barely an afterthought.

[Fhaerron]

Warlock and/or Necromancer. In the case of both 1 focused on heavy debuffing and the other on undead minion management.


Berserker, a warrior with a heavy weapon or 2 heavy weapons in each hand (melee DPS of course).

[Raltar]

Time Mage.
