What Classes Do You Want to See Next?

[SeverianLyonesse]

It is becoming a pain to level everything over and over again, so now that they have solved the SMN/SCH problem I would actually love it if they went back and used the class system to better effect.

CNJ -> WAR frame -> Tank -> Geomancer -> Greathammers (could swap with Chronomancer)
GLD -> NIN frame -> Melee -> Judge -> Dual swords/clubs/etc.
MRD -> MNK frame -> Ranged Physical -> Berserker -> Chainwhips
LNC -> WHM frame -> Healing -> Oracle/Chronomancer -> Rod (could swap with Chronomancer)
ROG -> ARC frame -> Ranged Physical -> Corsair -> Cannon
THM -> PLD frame -> Melee -> Runeblade/Mystic/Green Mage -> Mace/Scepter/Scimitar


PUG -> DRG frame -> Tank -> ??? -> Spade
ARC -> BLM frame -> Ranged Magical ->??? -> Out of ideas for this guy.

(oh yeah if it's not obvious I would rather we get variations on existing weapons instead of completely new weapons. Seems to me like the devs are running out of actually good ideas for weapons with the addition of Sage, and we are still missing some really cool obvious options like a greathammer that wouldn't take any effort to implement on top of existing templates)

While I agree that they should go back and add more branches but IF they do this the classes are going to keep the same type of weapons.

[JisKing98]

Sword Saint(another hard hitting dps with some raid utilities)
Necromancer(dps pet job that uses void creatures)

[hynaku]

A flail and shield type healer like a templar and a dps that uses whips like a beast tamer.

[Tsiron]

I was looking at the Sword Saint wiki page not too long ago actually, and thinking whether it could still work given that Samurai already exists and... what if Sword Saint was something along the lines of my Advent Children Cloud class idea? Can't get more skilled than fighting with like 6 swords all at once, y'know?

[van_arn]

I just want them to delete classes and start everyone with a job.

[KageTokage]

I really want some kind of Far Eastern scouting DPS that uses poles and the staff weaponskills from XI.

[lltacx]

I just want them to delete classes and start everyone with a job.

100% this, I really would like to see this. But I guess we already have DRG and RPR with a lookalike weapon.

But a bo-staff would be awesome

[Thaciscokidd]

A mix between the Seeq Vikings of FFT A2 and Nero's version of the magitek knight minus the death claws.

A Two Handed DPS wielding a Greathammer(gunhammer) that is all about hard hitting dps interwoven with thunder magic.

[Yeol]

Mystic Knight. Also known as Rune Fencer, Sorcerer, Spellblade or Spell Fencer.
