Next Scouting Job?

[SenorPatty]

Assuming S.E continues developing jobs per expac and now Reaper filled a Maiming slot, what's the next job that could fill the Scouting slot? If we're going by what already exist in the Final Fantasy series, canoneer, hunter, juggler or trickster could potentially fill that role (although the first two feel way too close to machinist and bard/archer respectively). Of course, there's always creating a completely original job but what would it do?

What do you guys think?

I want Trickster combined with Juggler so we have an official harlequin like job class sort of resembling Kefka from FF6, but without magick.

I wouldn't be opposed to a 'Riskbreaker' job. Inspired by Ashley Riot from Vagrant Story.

That was a decent game. I don't really recall too much aside from being able to chain many attacks together, did they have any other defining characteristics?

Nothing specific, but it'd make for a cool job name and I'm imagining something with a lot of focus on combo attacks combined with a crossbow as an off-hand weapon.

Though it isn't the exact same place, 'Lea Monde' exists in name within FFXIV so there's a solid way to tie something directly inspired by Vagrant Story to the game itself.

Well I definitely wouldn't be opposed to the idea, weren't they kind of like a medieval elite secret agent type of thing?

As I remember it, there was a risk meter that if it went too high would cause your combos to miss (I might be completely wrong on how it functioned, it's been awhile). That could probably be converted into the job guage. I don't think it would be too difficult to have some of the combo chains converted to gcd abilities, though there would need to be a different method for keeping them going.

It's been a while since I played it as well, but I think in addition to making it more likely to miss with high risk you took more damage from certain enemy attacks as well. I suppose that would be too 'unfair' to balance as anything other than a limited job in FFXIV, though.

As an aside, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy XII and Legend of Dragoon are the three JRPG's I most wanted to see remastered someday. Given that I was lucky enough to see the second receive that treatment, maybe the other two will follow...

Mystic Knight hopfully

I still say Dancer would've fit the Scouting theme better than Aiming.
