The class least likely to be added?

[Tint]

Chemist.

All healers are casters and the role gear and role skills are catered to caster jobs. A non caster healer will not happen. And as a DD it would be too similar to Machinist.

[Mozerlam]

Plumber, because of the lack of toilets.

[Penthea]

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.

Or they could use a design that is okay for all regions?

[hynaku]

Mime I think is least likely to ever be added since only has one skill mimic.

[wereotter]

Viking because it is basically rolled into warrior

Ditto Berserker on that note.

Also when it comes to there highly requested jobs...

Time Mage = Astro
Geomancer = Conjurer

Beastmaster and Puppetmaster also I would say are highly unlikely considering what a flop Blue Mage has been, and they explicitly stated those two jobs as contenders for additional limited jobs for this game. Also they're not very iconic to the series. I only know of Beastmaster being a job in FFV MAYBE Realm if you get her False Mustache relic and have never played a Final Fantasy title with Puppetmaster... unless you really stretch it to consider Lulu one.

Conversely to a previous comment, I do think that we can have Chemist as it's a healing job that won't be immediately like the other three. Though just how they'd implement it is anyone's guess, especially with TP gone. Before I had suspected that would be one of the ways it would be different from the others, using TP instead of MP.

Why would Puppet Master be limited? Beast Master I could understand, but it seems like they can just take the Summoner as a base and work from there with the Puppet Master.

Because Square a hates pet jobs. Also they mentioned it in a list of unlikely to be non-limited jobs.

That being said, if we're talking ACTUAL JOBS and not LIMITED JOBS I'm always wrong on jobs they'll not add (0/2 for RDM and DNC not working, although not sure if I'd count dancer since I said it wouldn't work as a healer... 2/2 with Samurai and Gunbreaker), probably Geomancer or most jobs from X-2 that aren't in the game or just variants with different names (Blue Gunner, Songstress come to mind). I'm on the fence on Chemist. 1. it'd probably be renamed because Alchemist is a thing and the names would be confusing and 2. it doesn't feel like it'd work aesthetically with FFXIV and it fits better with FFT aesthetically.

Just going off what they said when they announced Blue Mage. They named both of those jobs as potential future limited jobs.

But also as was stated, they've had a notoriously hard time balancing pet jobs in this game.

So because I'm bored, I'm gonna break down most of the jobs I've seen so far in this thread:

Onion Knight....I could honestly see this as a Limited Job designed around a "make your own job" theme that could be an interesting PvP thing.

Mime, when you think about it as a baseline concept, is just Blue Mage without anything that makes Blue Mage fun and/or interesting. If you do not find Blue Mage fun and/or interesting, also yes.

Berserker we already have. It's called Warrior.

Necromancer, in terms of game lore, is oddly just a Black Mage on steroids. While it's possible to have something like a Necromancer in FFXIV, it likely wouldn't look like what we would consider to fit a western description of one, spawning something like ghosts or spirits out of the nether rather than corpses out of the ground due to both censorship concerns and the aforementioned game lore. It might even be renamed to something like Reaper or Druid--I mean seriously, have you seen the stuff RL druids did in the past? Holy crap.

Arithmetician we sorta have in the form of Scholar and the base class Arcanist to a degree. Unfortunately, devs learned the hard way during ARR via the original Lustrate ability that anything percentage-based is actually quite terrible to implement, being incredible at the start and then staggeringly subpar as gear levels go up.

Viking, surprisingly enough, can still be implemented. In addition to Viking being a bit like Warrior, it also came with some Rogue-like abilities along with Tsunami and an assortment of Thunder spells. If Viking were to instead focus more toward the magical aspect rather than being the usual brute with spells like how Dark Knight is now, then it could definitely happen in the game.

Chemist may not be released as the salve-maker throwing vials at people's faces, but it'll happen. As long as people won't shut up about it, Chemist will happen via some sort of variant (hopefully as something like Cannoneer from FFTA2).

Plumber....maybe the reconstruction of Ishgard will finally bring in some much-needed toilets. Maybe it'll involve educating the nobles not to try and flush their lowborn.

Time Mage is a curious possibility now that Astrologian has been stripped of most of its time-based abilities. It also wouldn't be the first Square-Enix game to have both Time Mage and Astrologian in the same game.

Geomancer, Beastmaster and Puppetmaster I think could happen, but not like anything we've seen before out of those jobs. They would also join the ranks of Blue Mage and Eureka among the list of reasons why diehard FFXI fans need to stop suggesting things for this game because for the love of the Twelve, this is not Vana'diel and please stop ruining this game because IT'S NOT YOUR PRECIOUS CHILDHOOD GAME DEREN--er, whoops....

[Jkap_Goat]

I would like Geomancer

Sage could be a limited healer job
