Alisaie becomes the new job.. my prediction

[Payadopa]

RDM is her new job, she already changed jobs in SB.

Didn't she change before, though? I believe it was in one of the patches leading up to SB. The scene were she pulls that sword out of her book.

Yoshida said in the showcase she wasn't going to change jobs, just attire, he also said that Estinien is the first Trust using the Dragoon job and said Zenos' sudden change in appearance has a "very good reason behind it." Specifically pointing out his armor —which he used to wear Legatus armor, akin to fending gear as a Samurai— looked a bit "lighter" than before. New job is confirmed to be using maiming gear, which is, in fact, lighter than the Legatus armor he had on previously.

I don't really get how people could think anyone but Zenos could be the new job when they haven't been subtle about it at all—he literally broke his weapon and said he needed to find something new. At this point its so in our faces that I don't really know how anyone can question it at this point? Sure, he could be rocking an NPC only job, but between the secrecy behind it and all the subtle hints, I think the likelihood of Zenos not being the new melee is exceedingly low.

The link is in there from the interview with Yoshi-P about the new melee job using DRG's gear. He stated it in an interview just after the announcement.

I read the reddit post and the quote that it wants to highlight, but it doesn't include the original context that the quote is answering. Was he directly answering a question about gear, or is someone taking something he said and interpreting it as "new job will wear maiming gear"? Because the quote itself doesn't say anything about gear.

It's the best they could do with the interpretation, and the direct quote is there, it's just in Japanese. :\

If it's not the correct assumption, someone better get on the horn to JP SE, because that post and a ton of gaming sites talking about it have it also that way. Reading the interpretation, it tells me that the melee DPS is in fact using the maiming gear because it makes the most sense without re-inventing the wheel so to speak. It's the only class that doesn't share its armor set and to put a new melee DPS in it does make a decent sort of sense.

Because he's our enemy. Granted, they could break the mold here and it could be interesting, but when has our enemy been the face of a new Job?
