I think I have an Idea of the next Melee Class!

When we are on a scythes, all I can think of is job related to Ran'jit.

[OvernightSiren]

I think it'll be Beastmaster.

I don't think the t-shirt was hinting towards the job, but rather just hinting towards the WEAPON that the job uses.

That being said, the t-shirt had a grim reaper. The grim reaper is depicted with a scythe.

This would mean the new job is a scythe-wielding job. Who used a scythe? Ranjiit. What FF job is most similar to Ranjiit? Beastmaster

Be careful what you wish for. According to an interview with YoshiP in 2019, he said that it would be a limited job.

By utilizing this concept of limited jobs, I feel that it could potentially open up possibilities to explore the addition of jobs such as like Puppetmaster and Beastmaster.

He said "could open up possibilities", not "would".

In FFXI, beastmaster was already considered to be a solo job and YoshiP has stated before about his distaste of pet classes so I wouldn't really count on us getting a fully functional beastmaster job in this game. The pets we do have keep getting nerfed every expansion as well.

In defense of beastmaster though, we have beastmaster NPCs showing up in the Bozja storyline so there's that.

Regarding the potential of a scythe wielding job though, scythes already exist in the game as BTN equippable items so I wonder if anything would need to be renamed.

If it's a full job reveal I think Ranjit would represent Ranjit . (Who himself is based off of Golbez and a Ravager job, Golbez being a big opportunity theme for the next expansion since next expansion seems to be hitting some older FFs and Golbez also would be the best candidate for magical melee heavy-er armor wearing job). Since I also believe SE listens to players.. I would be transparent in saying in multiple ways I've asked for a heavy(er) armor wearing bruiser mage job. So at least to me this would be "hype and SE listens". Also mentioning dark job and transforming (Vincent/Terra Brandford). So if they literally made a heavy (ish) wearing dark magical melee job that has transformations I'd be like... O_O; (Ranjit like job in maiming). I weep. Ranjit inspired job would also happen to have some beast, like, aspects which may make some people happy who wanted beastmaster (and SE not wanting to make a full beastmaster normal job, so like Dissida the job may have some aspects to use / fuse with). Some weapons that might shock me is I've hoped for Chain sycthe (with like bell or lantern), and wraps (scarfs, sashes, cloaks, etc - which would be good for a transformation inspired job as that could represent into their forms and add a visual vibe to the job when transformed). My fingers are uncertainly crossed, hopeful but not certain lol.


If it's not a full job though, then yeah totally.. might be a beastmaster (although the second shirt doesn't really read beastmaster to me, I know the first had that reference though). Beastmaster has been referenced multiple times as a potential limited job. Given the issues we've had, the issues they've said they have, I doubt the reveal would be for a full job beastmaster (however I'm not saying that out of "lame", I just have doubts it would be, a full job beastmaster could be really cool, personally still hope for those weird jobs like blue, like beast, to have both limited and full job aspects... I think 'that' would be most awesome).


We still have some other ideas, like Mystic Knight / Rune Knight (templar) - maybe FF got inspired by Death Knights in WoW? Or Judge (I, personally, don't see the reaper as a judge necessarily but maybe Japan sees reaper differently- things kind of shift when they're adopted partially by other cultures).


Like I joked before though, watch it be like Mascot job or something no one would have ever thought lol XD.

I’m only interested in judge if it goes back to its roots in FFTA and we issue yellow and red cards to both our enemies and our own party members for breaking whatever law we feel like enforcing today.

Zenos used a physical melee skill and killed the WHM? He is now ejected from combat and sent to Moridion Gaol where he can sit and think about what he did.

At the very least I would love if the cards were emotes.

2:15 in the trailer announcement. Zenos is clearly holding a Scythe. Next class is Reaper.

[Edax]

So I been grinding and just playing The southern warfront, I see the new relic gear and it makes us all look like Judges An iconic and very bad ass job now My brain kinda Clicked and looking at Yoshis shirt We see a grim reaper and people jumped on Necro and all that but Listen follow me on this one The grim reaper does what? He judges whether it is your time to die or not correct?

Could Judge be the next heavy Maiming job?!?!?! it fits right?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!

Oh no! The dreaded yellow card!
