What's next for new jobs after Endwalker.

[Kogekigami]

I would love something like a ranger/druid of the land as a caster dps. while conj and blm cover the elements we had nothing that's nature and plants. Most likely never happen but with viera it be a cool look if the lore was tied to the green word and wood warders

We can also have content letting us tame and have battles with creatures without having a job be restricted by the standard job design and balance in order to deliver that content.
I am all for "extended jobs" instead of "limited jobs". For sure. But until the devs make a statement on that (didn't hear anything from them on Blue Mage since it launched really and was a bit disappointed nobody asked them questions about BLU going into EW), I would rather have Beastmaster be limited rather than being a standard job.

Well like you pointed out in another thread, Yoshi P was asked about blue mage and kept his answer limited on the topic. I did pick that word on purpose. lol

I'm betting that the limited job concept was already one that the devs were iffy on putting further resources towards when there has been such a divisive response to the first limited job. Why commit to applying resources now and several times in the future in updates on content that most of the player base just doesn't care about and then those that do care are pretty split on. Then add in the delay caused by Covid and I seriously doubt we will see a new limited job any time soon if ever. If that is the case then it would be beneficial to try to reach some middle ground if we want to see bst and pup in the game. Our feedback being united in what we want would be stronger than us divided.

I want them to prioritize making a job they're happy with over trying to mold something to fit right in the middle of all the different community requests.
That sounds like a good way to satisfy no one.

With the dev team leaning towards new and more interesting jobs, I think this frees them from having to keep pulling from the same tired/true job staples.

I'd like to see another caster DPS, inspired from the Witcher but with focusing on rune attacks with dual short swords as it's main weapon. Another hybrid like Red Mage since BLM and SMN are full casters.

Some shapeshifter job of sorts would be pretty rad, thinking about it now; you could temporarily switch between multiple animal forms or something. Kind of like Summoner but with you briefly transforming into other creatures (that aren't primals) directly that you would have to repower the spells for via some basic attack gauge.

There's probably a better name for it than that, but speaking as a furry, I would love it. ^_^

[MellowMink]

While I wouldn't be personally excited for it, I feel like it's pretty likely that we would see Chemist become an eventual fifth healer job, one that adds some contrasting variety with it not being based around magic. Ranged attacks could involve throwable potions, and there would be a risk-versus-reward system by having to spend time to combine more components (combo actions) together to prepare more effective attacks or party buffs.

As OP said, Scouting and a new Ranged Caster are the two that SHOULD be getting new classes.

For caster I want Geomancer big time. I'm a druid player of 17 years, and I'd like my class to FINALLY be implemented here in some form. Weapon should still be bell IMO, tho im certainly open to other ideas. I just love the animation ideas I get in my head for bell. Could be great. The idea that the geomancer would ACTUALLY use its current surroundings would never be a thing. The sheer amount of programming per area would be MASSIVE, literally its own game. I think it would just have tools that have to do with ALL areas, and have several in each element. Gotta remember that they are not gonna make ENTIRE MASSIVE system changes just for a single job, because that would be the only job being played because it would be so massive in design/scope. Lets keep ourselves grounded (pun intended!)

For scouting armor, I'd want something that combines some format of a magic system with a melee system, akin to NIN. Maybe a design opposite of RDM? Spends time in melee, switches to ranged for a bit, then goes back in. Thats kinda risky tho because the RDM displacement already gets them killed a lot. There might be a workaround there tho, not sure what exactly. Maybe like a reverse blink ability? But they'd have to design it to only let them fall back a safe distance, probably too hard to program that, but its a start. Rune Knight comes to mind, tho maybe something else.

As for the MANY MANY comments about Beastmaster, Yoshi has already confirmed Beastmaster for a limited job. The recent interview with Yoshi and Mastuno also 'basically' confirms this. It will VERY likely be a 6.X feature. Or it may be a 7.0 feature, as i'm fairly certain that 7.0 will focus on the clouded area in the center between Garlemald and Bozja/Ala Mhigo.

Thats my take/hopes.

I don’t know if you’re aware but there is a Geomancer you meet in the SB Ast storyline and it’s a healer that carries a bell club looking thing. As for the actual bit of lore we get from it, the job functions more like an exorcist/Onmyōji.

As for the OP’s question, I'm not really sure what else we’ll get. I was sure about things like samurai and red mage but after SB I had no idea what classic jobs were left.

I wanted a scythe job like ffxi Drk but I never thought it would happen. I wanted a technology based healer and never thought it would happen. We ended up with both! So I don’t know anymore.

Yes I'm aware. The sheer amount of information we got from it is so little tho that it hardly matters. Even if it did, they can rename it. They renamed Gunblade to Gunbreaker afterall.

What I would like to see is a dark magic user since smn lost the little bit of arcane magic it had.

A dot focused caster with arcane and time magic
