The Hero's Gauntlet (mild spoiler maybe)

[Averax]

So has anybody talked about how the last two bosses might be teasing the next two classes.

The first boss was a Theif (NIN, already exists)
The second boss was a Necromancer
The third boss was a Berserker.

Berserker DPS?
Necromancer Healer?

Please, SE?

It's more likely they're not new classes, this has been discussed on Reddit quite a bit. It's believed the Nercomancer is basically a SMN and the Berserker is just a WAR by different names.

Also I've seen it mentioned that they're actually meant to reference past FF games - the Necromancer is actually Lenna from FFV, the Berserker one of the Onion Kids from FFIII and the Thief is Locke from FFVI, but your malmage may vary on that one.

Either way, SE has never teased new Jobs in dungeons before they're implemented so I don't expect them to start now (to say nothing Yoshi in the past outright stated ROG is already THF under a different name, and Berserker is just WAR). Anything is possible though I suppose, given what a mixed up crazy year this is.

No, literally absolutely nobody was talking about it before you. You were the first, definitely.


Also, it's not gonna happen. Rogue is basically thief, warrior is basically berserker, and this game goes out of its way to say reanimating the dead is not good, so necro isn't happening.

Berserker is just a WAR with a sword.

They're clearly just meant to be alternate jobs on other shards. Which puts Necromancer in an awkward position.
If it ever became a real job, it would make this boss kinda weird.

[Infindox]

Nah, I think they were just homages to past FF games and some character's jobs.
What's a more likely job is Chemist after focusing on that little cat girl, but that's even a BIG "maybe".

The thing that surprised me in Hero's Gauntlet was Titania helping out in the Il Mheg portion.

I mean...

Didn't we kill her?

I'm getting Mst3k 'Space Mutiny' vibes here:
"Sir, it's very nice of you to give that dead woman another chance."

You sound like a happy person

Did you pay attention to the story?
Feo Ul became the new Titania.

Thief and Berserker are just alternate versions of rogue/ninja and warrior. Necromancer is harder to pin down, but I don't think it's likely that Necromancer will be a class we get. Necromancy tends to involve defiling and controlling the dead, something the story has repeatedly shown is considered a straight up evil act. We have everything involving Edda and the Palace of the Dead, we have the Cardinal Virtues, which the Warrior of Light seeks to put down not just for the people of the first but to put the bodies to rest, and how the WoL is unhappy that Elidibus possesses Ardbert's corpse for his own ends, even having the dialogue option to tell him to release Ardbert's body.

Some may argue that the WoL has never shied away from stigmatized disciplines with Black Mage and Dark Knight, but neither of those classes involving inherently evil acts (assuming we accept that being destructive isn't "Inherently evil" in this scenario, every single class we learn is destructive, so it has to go beyond that). Black Mage was stigmatized for it's role in causing a calamity, but when practiced in moderation and without voidsent summoning, it's nothing evil. And Dark Knights are edgy, but they just gain strength from inner darkness and pain, and they use that power to protect what's important to them and right wrongs. There's nothing inherently evil about Dark Knight's power.

But Necromancy is about manipulation of the dead, and Eorzea clearly considers that sort of thing to be very evil. The only way I could see it even being a class was if it was purely about like life manipulation (perhaps you draw life energy from enemies to heal and support your allies, like a leech healer) without any corpse summoning or anything like that, but that would be more of a blood mage than a necromancer.
