Interview with Yoshi P

[Shougun]

The idea of healers using healing bullets still amuses me. I remember that being part of the speculation pre HW. lol GNB sort of got that with Aurora so...close enough.

I didn't add much to dissuade thought otherwise, but personally not my primary go to consideration when saying magitek chemist. I, too, think shooting people with bullets is a little.. eh? To be fair, it's a thing that some games have done.. so it's already not unheard of lol, but it's still a bit.. "lol?".

I'd not rage if it happened, but I do also chuckle at the thought of it.

Personally when thinking magitek chemist, thinking engineer, so like the job would do something with gadgets, construction, and technical designs- may have things like build a shield dome (perhaps on their roomba buddy lol), throw 'grenades' that expel clouds of healing mist, calling down orbital attacks on their enemy, you may even think of something like the chain lightning like healing beam (from Overwatch) as a weapon. Some two handed multi-tool ceruleum misting aether spewing contraption. Medics from Starcraft, etc. Very high tech, industrial theme'd. When I referenced MCH I was thinking along those lines, although given that I assume "garlean" influence for the job- probably more high tech looking lol. Also potentially the opportunity to give a healer some heavy AF armor, which could be different.

Although I would say I'm personally more into magic, swords, medieval high fantasy stuff (which is why I listed ;living magic; idea first). So I'd probably look at the living magic deeper first (not that I'm opposed to thought experiments in general, I find them fun even when they're not my priority bias), although if someone was giving me reigns to design a job I'd probably be looking at a transforming job before trying to make chemist happen. It's a cool idea but it's not the role play fantasy I'd normally try to inhabit myself. That said I still think it potentially could be interesting to see in the game, given someone at SE comes at it with the right angle. I also imagine it wont be called Chemist, even if it's clearly "chemist" ;P.
