Next Scouting Job?

You are correct, I looked it up. It also apparently increased your crit chance as risk built up. I think it could work as a job mechanic with some tweaks though. Would definitely need to drop the increased damage aspect.

What if your gcds all had a risk value that added to the gauge, and they had to be spaced apart or the risk value increased. (I think VS also was like that, to prevent spamming the same attack). This way you could have more of a free form combo system instead of the x must follow y.

Then there could be an action that increases gcd speed and one that increases damage, both could stack. Maybe also have some that debuff or have some utility aspect also. The increased crit chance could stay, but instead of missing attacks, once the gauge is capped it drops to zero and your buffs fall off. So the gameplay loop would be kind like winding up to do a burst of fast strong attacks before the gauge resets. Idk, might not be the best idea, but I think riskbreaker could be adapted to be a regular job.

Hmm, perhaps having it so the entire job mechanic is in line with how MCH was back in HW, where you never wanted to cap on gauge and essentially tried to keep it at the sweet spot where it was near but never capping out? Could make it so a class mechanic on the GCD "dumps" a part of the gauge for an attack, with your big burst attacks actually adding to the gauge. Maybe a "Wildfire" type window, except instead of it being damage you do within a window, it freezes the risk gain so it cannot be gained or lost during the time frame.

Garlean Infantry. Uses the same type of gunblade and style as Gaius, along with temp summoning Magitek Bits in between sword play in order to emulate the firing squad attack used by Emerald Weapon in its golden form.

A whip user sound cools.


Before anyone chiming "Animating whip is a pain", take a look at how SE does dancer's animation. No need to animate the whole weapon when you can just make lashing effects.

I would kill for a Quistis get-up. The blue mage ship already shipped sadly. Given the P4S boss, would be cool to have a little Belmont slayer job type.

Jokes aside. Whip user could be Hunter. Beastmaster isn't happening because the devs want to avoid pet jobs at all costs. Green Mage would have to be unique because it's iterations in Tactics Advance was basically WHM, perhaps a poison DoT user? We could have Elementalist, or Mystic Knight with different elemental imbued swords. Or the dev can make something new. SGE is pretty unique because it's nothing like it's TA counterpart. And RPR is pretty new. No necromancer because CN servers couldn't play it without significant changes and RPR is close enough to death theme to skirt the regulations.

Whip would be nice, it is a dextrous weapon as well so I can see something with that.

Castlevania Belmont whip trick attacks. :3

+1 there; in addition while I didn’t like the bowmage/stand in place MCH as they were, it has potential for a future job.. something like a sniper or rifleman.

I've always wanted SE to consider splitting Rogue into Thief and Ninja like they did with Summoner and Scholar. They could do something like Rikku from FFX and use the mix system to create different attacks in a similar way that Mudras work on Ninja. Ideally, they could have less personal dps than Ninja, but make up for it with strong RDPS buffing/debuffing effects via mix effects. Alchemist has been a decently requested job and this could be a way to work it into the game to be different from the crafter of the same name. Thief is about the only job that comes to mind that could share gear with Ninja and it actually make sense.

Chains. It's gotta be a job that revolves around chains. Chain combat. Like Kratos, but with more style and finesse. After just fighting the first boss of Asphodelos, who uses chains, I think something like that could work.
