The class least likely to be added?

[Adonan]

I hear about people hoping for the Puppeteer, Beast Master, and Geomancer all the time. I'm personally hoping for the Onion Knight, but I'm curious to know what people think the class we're least likely to see is. At first, I thought it was the Onion Knight, but then I realized there's one even better: Mime.

I can't even begin to fathom how they would implement the Mime into an MMORPG and still retain its identity. Onion Knight is a close second, as their whole gimmick is being weak until max level, at which point they become the strongest class in the game. That sounds like a balancing nightmare, unless SE makes it a limited job.

Onion Knight could be a Limited Job like Blue Mage, just rather than learning spells from monsters, you learn skill by leveling all the other Jobs in the game.

Mime, similarly, could be a Limited Job. Depends how they're going to work future ones (whether they have the same learning gimmick or not), but all it needs is a "Copy" skill that you use on party members to copy their last skill. I do doubt they'd ever bother with that though, Limited Jobs are meant to be fairly OP and non-party focused, if Masked Carnival is anything to go off, not sure how a Mime version of that would work... Hope we see Gogo some day in XIV though...

Honestly any Job could simply be a Limited Job at this point, but I'd have to say Beserker is probably the least likely to ever be added. A Job which sole function was that it automatically attacked and did nothing else? Yeah that wont even be considered for a MMO, even if it could technically be a workable Limited Job... Much more likely they just rolled it into Warrior at this point. Similar deal with something like Time Mage, time magic would be hard (though not impossible) to implement in a MMO, and once upon a time I'd say Astrologian had a few core Time Mage aspects, but those were gutted recently...

Death Knight.

Because that's a WoW class and this is not WoW and we already have Dark Knight. :P

I suppose a copy skill could work, though it sound rather hectic. I was thinking more along the lines of the Mime's implementation in FFT. At any rate, I know the limited job route is possible for all classes, but I was wondering how they would add these classes into normal content. I suppose I should have made that more clear, but that's why I mentioned the Onion Knight being a balancing nightmare unless SE made it limited.

A balanced healer.

[Crushnight]

Necromancer purely because they would have to redesign the job entirely different for Japan/EU/NA version and the Chinese/Korean version due to beliefs.

[Kacho_Nacho]

I'm unfamiliar with classes from prior versions of Final Fantasy but I think the least likely job would be another healer. I just can't see how you could fit a new one in.

[Hugowulf]

I know there is a “theif” class for ninja, but I would have loved for it to be a job too. With mixing items to do various aoe/single target actions, like Rikku from X.

[LadyBaelcrest]

A real arithmetician

[Brightshadow]

Viking because it is basically rolled into warrior
