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.

It’s been.. two expansions now where we haven’t gotten any stone/aero updated spells or animations. Would feel a bit weird for them to go back on Dia/Glare now.

Hopefully white mage having used the spells in the past doesn’t lock the game/player base out of three whole elements for the game’s lifespan. Thematically isn’t this how we got calamities to begin with? Haha

It already exists in the game, I think? Not as a job, but I vaguely remember it being a part of the AST quests.


To the OP: Probably BLM. It's Yoshi's favorite class and it'd be the first caster. Also isn't a "dark mage" sort of a big rpg thing? Like it should happen at some point.

Geomancy had a small cameo role in the AST quests.
Meanwhile Geomancy is the star of an entire quest line, raid series and dungeon, in the Four Lords, with Geomancers themselves appearing in Swallows Compass as enemies.
Why does everyone forget this?

A Physical Melee or Tank obviously.

new Scouter should be Corsair.
Swashbuckle gauge builds up from melee attacks then unleashes multiple gun shots finishing with cannon fire.
We need a secondary scout so it isnt just ninja benefitting from those gearpieces/glam.
Also I hate the Mudra system but would love a job that lets me use the sweet Crystarium coat or the Bozjan nin set.
A secondary rotation for Corsair would be Gambler (ie pirate booty/skeevy dens of traded info based on boozing and cardplay) but unlike Ast which strictly buffs allies Corsair would instead flipflop like ffx2 Lady Luck. Some cardplays would debuff enemies, some would attack, maybe one play buffs or heals the party.
Im thinking corsair hides a card up its sleeve with every full melee or gun rotation, rather than having a Draw type action. When you get 2-5 cards you get different actions.
5 cards would always be best but 2 would result in minor healing around the corsair (idk 200 potency) or a mild aoe, same potency.
I figure if we get one last REAL caster it wont be geomancer bc geo exists in the Ast storyline and they use basically the same skills. Next caster could be Illusionist from the ivalice games.

Wol finally REALLY breaks off from the scions and needs to take better care of himself or new allies. Scholar natch unless they decide to be boring and do rdm just bc it has a melee rotation.
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.

Where do you think we are going? I’m genuinely curious because I don’t have any idea where the story is going after we wrap up the current MSQ arc.
