Thread: 7.0 Poster Class

They'd probably have him show up as the founder of a store chain called Walls R Us with a sign showing the motto of "Keeping things erect since 2013" first... >.>

hence "just to see how they'll do it"

perhaps pre-nerf :P

if we go to meracydia the forst one that comes to mind would be summoner. just because of the allag connection.
but somehow i think we had enough books in the scions.

so i think either white mage, black mage or the new job... its time for a mage. just a hunch

As long as the theme of the expansion favours a healer main character, they might do it. If we ever get a expansion themed around undead enemies I am willing to bet the poster WoL will be a healer

They might even smack Krile in there as the sidekick Sword/Shield of the WoL during the expac (if they wanna sell a new DPS/Tank in the poster)

If it were a normal FF game sure. Healer VS Undead... but this is FFXIV where just about every traditional RPG mechanic has been stripped from the game so we can burn fire elementals to death, stab slimes to death, drain HP from undead (before the spell was removed as button bloat), etc...

-New 7.0 Job

- Bard: WoL was also a gladiator at one point, I think and he became a Paladin this expansion. So Bard wouldn't be out of the question.

- Summoner: The primals in Eoreza aren't a threat anymore, so I can see the WoL taking full advantage of this going Summoner.

My bet is on some new job which will be a dual wielding Techno Barbarian.

If we're going to Meracydia then we have to assume that place is a barren wasteland filled with remnants of Allagan technology that natives picked up.

If the WoL is a new class it might be Dyamis related.
Something like
Empathic Seer.
And he just chucks dynamite at everything cause he has no idea how dynamis works still.

Random thought that crossed my mind.

We got a new Healer job in Endwalker and after Stormblood we are not likely to get 2 new DPS in a single expansion so 7.0 if they stay with 2 jobs per expansion will most likely be tank + DPS
7.0 could be the first chapter of a long saga like the one we just finished at the start of Endwalker making it possibly like a fresh start.
So based on those 2 things... Poster job as a new Tank job Freelancer. It would use a Bastard sword or hand and a half sword with no shield so it could be used 1 or 2 handed depending on the skill used and its skills wouldn't be anything super flashy. It would be a real "meat and potatoes" grounded type of tank loaded with skills often given as basic things to beginner jobs in the FF series like Throw Stone.
