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

[Shougun]

Just "scythe" is not enough to find a job. Even Reaper/shinigami is not enough, even if a lot of things point towards that.

The most realistic choices are :
- templar (same method as sam to find it) sounds like pld? And aren't they protectors for the church? We just learned that gods are fake so it's weird, even if it's for hydaelyn and zodiark.
- corsair (skull on red background) different but they don't want to make a cool and nice thief ? Well Corsair is : "dw i'll go do my pirate things on your ennemies" and they could be mercenaires too. But it's still a bit weird.
- Mystic knight ("nbhd" in arabic style) sound like a reverse red mage. Mystic knight seems close to templar, without the "knight of god" thing going on.
- death knight (reaper is sign of death), china don't like this word but they could name it fell knight. It sounds like drk knight. It sounds like a good name for a shinigami/Reaper/spychopomp (but templar & Mystic knight could do that too).
- beastmaster ("ill be here if you need me") YoshiP seems ready to make beastmaster a limited job tho (get ready for the pkm job that will make pkm fans jealous, smn is already doing it kinda).

YoshiP said no to necromancer and Puppetmaster was a no too.

Maybe i missed some other ideas out there.

It's not just sycthe though. Also the logic that gets you some of the in other jobs also exists for reaper. A major album for children of bodom is "follow the reaper". To be clear, as I'm not sure you are trying to add to me or disagree, I'm not saying it has to be reaper the reason why I started to say psychopomp is it make that distinction that it could be reaper inspired but not literally 'the reaper, job called reaper'.

I don't think it's reaper for sure, but I think it could be.

Also ranjit with his Sanskrit name fits well for our upcoming area, he's not simply some doman sort of inspiration. He fits many boxes you could check, more than most other options.

I strongly doubt it would be necromancer, though I don't doubt that they may have some inspirations from the concept.

So you said Death Knight and that would be, to me, just the same as saying it's reaper inspired. At the point you say that is possible I'm not sure if you were trying to agree and add or disagree but then you would be missing my point (I'm not saying 'its literally going to be called reaper bois'). I hardly ever talk in pure conclusive 'this is it's, just that something reaper inspired could actually be the concept (as scarlet witch and bunny shirt were so obvious, or it might be templar because of name play).

On a final note the post you quoted focused on weapons, outside of job concepts. Just the idea of weapons. So that's why I listed other weapons that might fit, or even state it might not even be a scythe. To say we might have had it wrong, maybe the idea of reaper was important but not the tool- and the trailer had some of misdirection. Etc. Which I /think/ I understand is where you were trying to go in response to me- that even if we know the weapon and the inspiration base doesn't mean we yet know which job exactly it'll be, but that's where I just wanted to say then you misunderstood me (if you were trying to disagree) or were just trying to add onto me (I'm not sure). As the intent of my posts I've never even tried to bother actually labeling a job's name exactly just the themes and general design thoughts that may be coming from the shirt, what might fit the game, feedback that I've seen, and general circumstances.
