The class least likely to be added?

I am so sad to see Necromancer in here, lol.

I will continue to dream, damnit.

Anything pet-related (Beastmaster/Puppetmaster) seems wholly unlikely outside of them doubling down on the concept of limited jobs despite the big backlash.

This would likely extend to Necromancer, not helped by the fact that a lot of quests and sidequests that deal with Necromancy and the like are either highlighted with disdain, tragedy, or both. Its almost like their universal "kids, don't do drugs" message peppered throughout the game.

Timemage seemed to have been reimagined into Astrologian with a dash of Gambler mixed in. Unfortunately they have cut/changed a couple of abilities that had a space/time theme, so the similarities between them are sparser. However FFXIV just doesn't seem to be fit for a job that's been known to: really only work in turn-based situations (and not concerned about "balance" when it's not), be mostly represented as pure support, its identity is mostly defined by 2-3 spells (which were given to other jobs in games like XI) and such spell effects are present in one form or another in XIV already. On their own, a lot of these aspects don't automatically disqualify the job from happening, but together they don't present a positive outlook.

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

Necro is part of the name >_> tell me how they could design it where there would be nothing associated with the dead because any perversion or desecration of the dead is a huge taboo to their culture, their version does not have skeletons and zombies for this reason. I highly doubt SE would bother designing 2 sets of animations for 1 job that is more work than necessary compared to other options like a single job that is fine in every region.

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.

I'd say this concept would precisely be more fitting to a Mime. In FFVI, Gogo worked the same way. On top of having the Mime skill, you could set up its battle UI with any skill your other character had.
It would be interesting to have a set number of combo slots, ability slots and spell slot, and fully customize them.

The good part about that would be that eveyone would completely understand how such a job could literraly be impossible to balance and thus, was kept a limited job

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.

I don't think they had to do this for Final Fantasy V

[TheGrimace]

Freelancer. One job able to use the abilities of all jobs would be so powerful in an online game. Too powerful. One job to rule them all.

Corsair. MCH covers the guns and AST covers the "gambling buffs" mechanic.

Well since this is a gba version onwards exclusive i've been looking for sales/marketing on that and for gba i've come up near empty with this being the only possible they may have sold to China,

PAL - PAL/SECAM territories, most of Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia.
Final Fantasy V Advance N/A 2006 TOSE Square Enix (Japan), Nintendo (overseas) NA, PAL, JP

Did they sell/market it to China(i've come up empty so someone else may find it) or did they only sell it to EU/Australia which is put under the same bracket


For steam port again i've come up empty with this being the only indicator(besides lack of information) that ffv hasn't been marketed to China

As far as i can see the only game with Necromancer in the final fantasy series has not been marketed to China at all, FFXIV does though, remember that outfit that went up on the mogstation that caused a little controversy and SE had to make an apology and rename it on the Chinese/Korean mogstation.

Besides everything Necromancer in the series is just a different Blue Mage except rather than using the skill the Necromancer has to be the one to kill it, so either a completely different feel to how the job has been in the past ala red mage or be made a limited job, pick your poison.
