Possible 'official' hint to the role of the new jobs added in 6.0?

While real Gunner would be nice, i feel like it's better to bring back Gunner part to Machinist. What I wouldn't give for reworked main combo animations and sound effects.

I mean...

...i want a real gunner, like a sniper (with casttime) or a faster Job.^^
The machinist, for me, must change more to a...technician/engineer with more eye on his tools and little helpers.
The mix of Gun and Tools narrows one aspect down, as you can see on the MCH.

The problem (already) is that MCH is wandering so far away from its core story-concept as an addition to Ishgardian military tactics. It made sense with the relatively controlled "gunner with backup turrets" but the "acrobatics and crazy mechanisms" seems improbable.

Are you trying to tell me that doing backflips while shooting does not in fact increase my accuracy? Preposterous!

Gunner would be amazing if would be dual wield But I'm kinda not sold with the whole Chemist as a healer thing it is just another word for alchemist

One works in a lab, slowly producing things often on the request for others or for science.

The other works in the field using the similar knowledge for more practical applications.

If you have a good idea, you can have more than one alchimist,beserk,gunblade and other.

backflips and that stuff is a litte bit strange, but it's better than standing still when a shot is fired ^^

Then why BRD is standing still? Low level MCH animations aren't perfect, but i would take them any time over heated animations.

Bards do jump and spin for several attacks. Just, y'know, not their entire rotation.

Not getting my hopes up that this is the case but it is sort of what I expect. Chemist (some sort of gun healer like FFT) and a ranged physical DPS of some sort is what Ive been thinking would happen.

[Raikai]

I'm really expecting Apothecary as a healer (not Chemist, I don't believe they'll choose that name as it slightly overlaps with Alchemist)... But I wasn't def. expecting another ranged physical dpser, and I have no clue on what that can be, because all the other hints points towards other stuff.

I have a hard time believing it would be a Musketeer job, as the MCH already encompasses part of that job fantasy. Unless it's something brand new like Gunbreaker. I was really expecting it to be a caster tbh.
