Thread: 7.0 Poster Class

CNJ and WHM share/shared some elements, mostly from the nature aspect, like stone/wind themed spells, Stoneskin and Stone for example, the first of which was removed but is still used by random NPCs. Archer and BRD shares traits with, well, BRD and Ranger. Warrior has Viking-like traits and abilities, all while wielding a giant axe. I could go on, but I think my point has been made. They've combined a lot of past FF jobs into the ones we have now in FF XIV as hybrids of sorts. I'm not opposed to them branching out though. I'm just calling it as I see it.

My money is on Bard. They are in need of a remake on the levels of Summoner and it would sort of drive home that the journey is off to a new start.

I think it will come down to what vibe they want to draw from 7.0. In terms of free exploration and diving deep into the nature and culture of places, I'd have to most suspect Bard, Summoner, or <New Job (especially if the likes of a new Scouting job or an Onmyoji, etc.)>.

If there's a bunch of side-content slated to come out that might involve customization, especially to do with machinery... then, Machinist, which we've yet to see even among Derplander's old parties.

Etc., etc.

Why scholar? The gearsets for scholar arent super feminine like whm/ast, and alphinaud took sage.
Also Wol is the only actual scholar in canon bc hes the only one with access to fairies.

If anything, WHM being the poster boy would finally force the devs to design WHM gear with male characters in mind, for once. (well, there's the SB one, but you get what I mean)

That said, it's most likely the new job, namely whatever Krile will become once she takes the spotlight.
