We need a Greatsword Dps Class!!!

With DRK already having a gigantic sword... I rather see the Job where we teleport to our swords like " Noctis " during that cross-over event we had a while ago.

============================
-> YT: Fawks - FFXIV x XV crossover <-
============================

Though since we got RPR and SGE with Endwalker a melee and a healer, the next Job would be... Ranged? Physical or Magic? I still don't like the thought of a Blitzball player as a ranged job I somehow can't see it seriously being a thing, but... who knows, Wakka was " ballzy ".

Sword teleporting is probably not enough meat for a full job honestly, with the sword aesthetic otherwise already being well represented, but it'd be nice additional flavor for Mystic Knight if we we ever get that in the game.

oh yeah no not just teleporting, it's mostly the reference to what Square has. Example GNB from FF8 but whatever the heck this is that Noctis is doing from FFXV





I actually haven't played the game, but by the looks of it he seems to teleport to his Sword or Swords or even weapons, and to wherever he throws his weapons and summons the weapons to even shield himself. Although I have no idea what the functionality is of a motor put on a sword but hey, it sounds cool xD

Based of what other games Square made or Final Fantasy related I can't really think of anything unique anymore when it comes to " Swords " that could fit as new FFXIV jobs.

Cloud's weapons are for example just gigantic swords, similar to DRK. Sephiroth's massive Katana would just be a Samurai with a longer katana. Lightning's weapon would be a Gunblade like GNB' taken from FF8. There's Keyblades? but I don't think that would fit FFXIV. Thought Noctis from FFXV with multiple levitating teleporting swords would be a concept for something. Just spit-balling.

It is very much possible to make a full Noctis job already due to Noctis gameplay in his Armiger Unleashed Mode.

They just need to determine which attack will be a separate skill as a combo skill, cooldown skill, and off-cooldown skill along with getting a bit creative with maybe some new attack skills as well.

The concept for Noctis in Armiger Unleashed Mode is to be a literal Weapon Master job being able to summon all types of weapons for different combo melee attacks or sending them at enemies as projectiles for range attacks.

Which reminds me of something.... The " Kingsglaive " as a job xD ... then again the weapon choices of Nyx Ulric and the Kingsglaive would also not really be that new to what we already have in FFXIV

Well as explained in both FF15 and Dissidia Opera Omnia, the Kingsglaive and Noctis's buddies are actully using weapons that is stored in the Armiger that Noctis and his father has. This means all their combat style is still part of Noctis and his father's combat style since they can use their weapons as well and use their fighting style which adds more potential skill to the Weapon Master style Job that Noctis combat is based on.

In a more literal sense, the sword, staff, greatsword, dagger, gun, bow, and etc will not be the Main Weapon of a Noctis Job. It will literally be the Armiger itself being the Main Weapon since all these other weapons are just the stuff stored up in the Armiger. Thus the focus on a combat style where our character will constantly switch his/her weapons for each attack to perform different combos, cooldown skills, and off-cooldown skills by teleporting these weapons in and out of the Armiger.

Then in the Job mechanic mode when he/she use Armiger Unleashed, they go full power mode to unleash the full power of sending out all the weapons stored in the Armiger while still being able to perform normal abilites with a additional effect from unleashing the Armiger within the Armiger Unleashed duration.

Honestly, the "Kingsglaive" approach seems to just be if we went back to the job-less design paradigm and gave particular weapons interesting abilities. The "Kingsglaive" are mostly pretty unspecialized. They're slightly high-Dexterity infantry with a couple of basic elements' access (primarily fire and lightning).

The sorcerers in the backline (Crow, etc.) are about as close as they get to specialization, but I'm not sure they were even Kingsglaive, so much as a separate-but-supporting combined arms unit (and they're stuff was still pretty basic wind, lightning, and fire conjury through circle/team-casting).

They Kingsglaive made interesting far more through aesthetic, tactics, and armaments (especially the Warp Knives) than through their power sets. Such depends more on a good glamour and interesting combat scenarios than job design.

Cloud had more of a gimmick in Advent Children, where he had like 6 swords he could combine into something resembling the Buster Sword

[Darrgo]

do the chakrams of dancer count as dual swords/daggers?

I'd imagine it'd be a combination of FFT with some FF7 Remaster like flare, but that might be stepping to much on the coat tails of the latter, having a job directly inspired by their most popular game to date. Yes I am aware Gunbreaker borrows heavily from Squall's Gunsword Style. to be honest, if it had to exist, I'd almost suggest it be a charging burst DPS job, and by charging I mean long casting times in its burst mode much like a wizard, and weaker but limit gauge(burst) recharging stance/style also like wizard's ice mode. You'd build up one level of limit per building stance skill used and attacks would cast faster in this stance, but when you did switch to Limit Breaker stance, you'd have longer cast times but the damage would be well worth it, not to mention you'd have a bit of damage reduction so that the long cast times have a trade off in that you're a mini tank, able to shrug off 20% of damage taken while charging an attack in Limit Breaker stance.
