Thread: 7.0 Poster Class

It would be funny if it was a profession class. Saving the world...one craft at a time.

Do you remember where you were when the WoL saved the shard with his mighty skillet during the potato famine of the 15th Umbra Calamity?

They tend to like Tanks/Melee because they can do fight scenes with them more. Not including 1.0 Archer, we've had 2.0 WAR, 3.0 DRG, 4.0 dual MNK/SAM, 5.0 DRK, 6.0 PLD.

In addition to that, we have the Scions taking up several slots:

GNB (Thancred), AST (Urianger), SGE (Alphie), BLM (Y'shtola), RDM (Alise), DRG (Estinian), PLD/WHM/BLM? (G'raha)

The Jobs that haven't been done yet, and aren't headlined by Scions already, would be WHM, SCH, NIN, RPR (debatably featured in EW via Zenos), BRD (arguably, if we don't count 1.0's ARC), MCH, DNC (though it did feature briefly in the ShB trailer), BLM, SMN. And whatever new Job(s) are added in 7.0.

.

The real thing is it depends on where we go and the theme of the expansion. If it has an Alleg/Meracydia theme, they could do SMN. SMN could actually make for some fantastic cutscene work as well if they wanted, especially considering FF16's got a similar theme going, albeit more punchy.

They've also used a brand new Job before (in the case of SAM) to headline an expansion, so that's possible, too, but RPR is less likely since it just came out and is very specific lorewise to Garlemald's secret society stuff, the story of which is PROBABLY done unless they double-down on Void/Thirteenth in 7.0. NIN is unlikely since that would most fit SB or an expansion centered on Hingashi, which while possible doesn't seem especially likely. And so unless they decide WoL needs to stand shoulder to shoulder with Thancred as a second GNB, that covers all current Tanks and Melee in the game.

WHM isn't overly likely unless they do a War of the Magi theme (in which case BLM could also feature, possibly as an antagonist like Zenos RPR or possibly as the WoL with the WHM being the antagonist), SCH is unlikely unless an expansion is themed around either Nym or around knowledge in some way, or travel to a Faerie Kingdom Shard (which is pretty unlikely since Il Mehg exists and already kind of covers that). MCH is possible if they're going for a more mature theme or a steampunk "Let's go to the FF6/7/8 world's Shard", which is possible I suppose.

Krile will probably feature as "New Caster/Healer Job X" if there is one, meaning the WoL probably won't be whatever that is, instead being "New Job Y" in the case there are two added and they want to go that route.

.

EDIT: I suppose if one wants to get REALLY technical, they could point out PLD, WHM, BLM, BRD were in the 2.0 trailer, but...considering we also got PLD in 6.0 and they were Ardbert's party rather than Derplander himself...
