What Classes Do You Want to See Next?

[Shougun]

Need more info before I'm entirely certain but I think I'll still want to see a transforming based job. Reaper may have that, maybe not. Going anime super power bleach mode isn't really transforming imo. Which isn't to say I don't find the job interesting, I'm totally going to level Reaper and I think it's going to be a lot of fun, and looks cool so far, the comment just being I don't, so far, consider it a transforming like job.

I would toss my table and fan scream if Reaper ended up being able to go Diabolos like mode though. .

Hope the game is good, looks fun, am excited to play it.

Was just thinking of FFXVI so I looked it up and yeah- this as a job, but ensure it goes deeper into the 'form' as you level or do some mechanic. I hadn't seen the art till now but I was like yeet that's purty. I know from the trailer seeing titan fists and stuff and that was the reference I made in my post but you can see in this image there is direct onto body change.

So yeah primal-y transformation job would be chef kiss, please and thank you lol.

(Again self admission we don't know much about Reaper, maybe it is kind of that, maybe it's not- currently we see a bleach like form but I'd not count that really in the line of what I meant, and also again that's not an insult I'm totally going to play reaper even if that's all for it's form, but bleach mode != transforming like job, imo).

i just wish there‘d be a melee healer, fighting along our beloved tanks and melee dps! would bring some fresh air into the healer category!
a non magical job (chemist with a crossbow for example) would be also awesome!
well, a cat can dream i guess...

my point still stands xD but i feel like design wise in 14 it probably wouldn‘t work well, balance wise i reckon it‘ll be a bigger mess. i still wish for a non magical healer, but with sage coming soon i don‘t see it coming in the near future tho.

Songstress from X-2.
Could be a healer!


To be honest with ya'll, I really just want another heal. :/
I don't care if the healer if from Planet Zorg at this point.

I was going to say that but someone beat me to it lol

[CrystalPenguin]

Also I would like to add a something like a dps (magic and physical)/tank. Something like this

Or something like magic we can use with are own hands. The weapon can just be like a glow like ball that illustrates the hand. Something like this

[Kolsykol]

I want dual wielding pistols.

I want dual wielding pistols.

Yes.

Also duel swords not ninja daggers
maybe a gun mage if possible
geomancer as a melee tank would be cool
Swashbucker wouldnt be bad
gun and blade not gunblade wouldnt be bad either
chemist for sure plz
something that would capitalize on crafters would be cool
and... Onion knight as a limited job

[Shougun]

something that would capitalize on crafters would be cool

Like an engineering combat job or do you mean something else?

Mime
Except they wield a gun-based weapon that changes depending on the ability you used.
-Six weaponskills are given (layout 123 456)
-Have to chain together a three part combo from the six weaponskills (example 153 or 126 or 423)
-You'll have 4 ogcd abilities based on what weaponskill you used last called Offensive Protocol I and II, Defensive Manuever, and Beneficial Operation (example using Storms Eye will change OP I to Fell Cleave, OP II to Inner Release, DM to a shorter, weaker Vengeance, and BO to Shake it Off)
-Magic based attacks from DoW jobs will get a visual overhaul to stay within the jobs design (Dragoon's Gierskogul will fire a missile)
-AoE weaponskills will only need 2 combos and will not break your current single target combo
-AoE weaponskills will also their own ogcd ability called Overwhelming Force
As for the weapons, PLD will look like regular Garlean blade guns, WAR is Nero's Hammer, DRK is Hydrus' Buster Sword, GNB idk, DRG is Lanatus' Gunlance, MNK is Livia's Gunbracers, NIN idk, and SAM idk.
The purpose of this job is to be a melee alternative for Blue Mage. Instead of heading out into the world and acquiring spells you'll have to know what weaponskill does what. A dream for this job would be that all the ogcd and gcd weaponskills/abilities will work with each other. Mime only copies the movements, not the traits.
Finally, Mime will unleash a hard hitting move that consumes all of the buffs. I would genuinely love to design a job like this.

Request that if Mime is added they do a collab so they can get a glamour that lets them look like the creepy Mr. Mime they had on that Detective Pikachu movie... >.>

Exactly something like that would be cool to see maybe crafter bomb that have different affects or prep with crafting skills etc. Just spit balling ideas

Thanks for clarifying, I read that and was like hmm interesting but wanted to know what you meant.

Mentally I sprang into three directions when reading it:

- Magitek Pilot as a limited job, taking some of the really old ideas our dev team had for magitek combat mixed with perhaps some of the fancy g-warrior content they made
- Engineering job, before we had a healer announced had suggested a Garlean inspired combat medic which used technology to craft some potent healing / buffs (as their gimmick) while also having a large kit of other technological inspired tools. Like orbital strikes, structures, drones, grenades', etc.
- Advanced craft jobs, like Paladin in FF history (no longer really in FFXIV unless you're thinking really really early days). Paladin took white mage and gladiator for example, here you might have advanced crafting jobs (new crafting jobs) such as Materia Maester that can make special effect materia. Or going back to that magitek pilot you might have magitek engineer. Then again I just look at that and wonder why not put the craft under goldsmith lol. It does add some opportunity to have more leveling later in an expansion or what have you (say 5.5 adds 10 more levels to magitek engineer, that could be cool), fields of focused types of crafting, might be some exclusive gimmicks you can have (when crafting as a magitek engineer the UI changes a bit some unique new mechanics, etc), it's not .. not useless but you'd have to take advantage of the separation in a way tangible enough to not just be a way to obfuscate things.

Crafty damage dealer could work as well, though it is semi-related to MCH ? Crafty tank is certainly a more open field though.
