Will Krile become the poster child for Beastmaster?

[Soge01]

Or something akin to that next expanaion?

I thought I'd ask this since she'll be the focus for the next expansion and since she somewhat follows the original FF5 Krile's background up to a certain degree, I thought maybe she'll become a Beastmaster or something like that come the next expansion considering her Echo allows to talk with animals.

[Bunnycake]

Actually, yeah I would love it if she was the beastmaster. How freakin awesome would that be.

[Heroman3003]

Considering Beastmaster is most likely to be slated to become a limited job, I think it's unlikely Krile will become one. I do expect her to get a job change and become a trust in the next expansion, but I strongly doubt it will be Beastmaster that she will become.

[MagiusNecros]

Necromancer. If her echo lets her talk with animals that's a Lenna character trait and Lenna made a cameo as Necro. So Necro it is.

It'll probably be Geo or Chemist tho.

Geo and BST are highly requested. But I think a XIV specific job is more likely.

[Lustre]

I cant see them adding more jobs personally, they're struggling balancing what they already have.

Yoshida has said many times that they know they can't not add jobs with expansions, so you're pretty off base here.

i feel like theyre scraping the bottom of the barrel with jobs since many of them which they drew from ff3 and ff5 (and to an extent ff4 and 8), there's a lot of them that are just "X job but better" or "X job but slightly different) (think thief & rogue) or have mechanics in them that can't really be translated to an mmorpg. for example geomancer in ff5's abilities were dependent on the terrain you were on (overworld, forests, caves, etc). both jobs in endwalker are essentially XIV originals, with sage being a classic ff reference in name only (sages in ff3 just could do white, black and summon magic, tellah the sage in ff4 was a master of both black and white magic). honestly i'd rather them just do their own spin of a job instead of arbitrarily limiting themselves because "it wont be faithful". they could've just done blue mage (and had its job quests be about you learning monster magic. i don't hear anybody crying that dark knight doesn't use HP for their abilities despite that being their signature ability in FF4.

anyway next expac jobs will be either a tank+caster or tank+phys ranged. they have always released a melee (or melee-lite in the form of a tank) in an expansion.

ninja was released in ARR
HW had dark knight
SB had samurai
SHB had gunbreaker
EW had reaper

they'll need a cool badass melee job to use as the posterboy for the expansion. since it was paladin's turn this time, expect either ninja or gunbreaker to be the posterboy for 7.0

same goes with that response.[edit:to what aniya said]
things have always changed, they for sure will at least at some in the next 5 years.
but they might be offshoots of existing classes<maybe Ala sch>. but we will never know.

<but yeah, BST is already limited, and we won't ever have Geo, or Chem. due to similarities to existing classes and NPC jobs.>
Though a certain job, a samurai we know took on, could work, but that in itself is already close to Geo, without geo, despite being Blatantly different.
though a Magical Melee and or Dynamis User. or a Scout/Ranger-Rouge/tactician amalgamation may exists in scout gear can exists.

so much can exists.
but as to the thread itself.
who knows what krile will grow to.
But it'll definitely have to deal with all that she has dealt with.

Like the visions, and flashes/pain.
<imagine she goes all green ranger, and fades. just to come back renewed.>

we can only see.<but she may just be a custom Main Cast Class. which tbh, she could have a custom Summon> but that doesn't really move her beyond what she already is or could already do.

FWIW in an interview for XI this year he was asked about future jobs for XIV and said that going forward they'll all likely have to be original as there isn't much inspiration to pull from anymore.

Or Summoner, since it was changed to be the most mobile, active caster and would lend itself well to a CGI scene. Also "posterboy"? Yoshida has made mentions earlier this year that the WoL for 7.0's trailer might be a woman, so uh... might wanna reconsider that phrasing. lol

It doesn't have to be. Look at summoner, just make the beast jars like that with customizable skins.
Though i've warmed up to blue mage of late, if we actually got beast master with full pet control like the ff11 days i'd actually find that very fun
