Krile in 7.0

[Renathras]

So they said she's going to feature more prominently, does that imply she might get an Alphie/Alis/Urianger/Thancred Job change?

At first, I thought yes. I was thinking she'd be one of the new Jobs, probably a Caster...but then it got me thinking, Krile's always been a Healer, something that a point is even made of when talking about her and combat situations. And I can't imagine them adding a new Healer right after SGE and also with the AST rework "like a new Job" type thing possibly going on as well.

...so now I'm not so sure.

What do you guys think?

Will Krile be a new Job in 7.0? If so, wouldn't it be a bit odd for her to be something that ISN'T a Healer? And if so...wouldn't that imply she WON'T be a new Job?

...or maybe she'll finally find a WHM Job stone somewhere and stop being a CNJ?

She's barely had a chance to be a conjurer, so I don't think changing to a different healer would achieve much unless there's a new one to showcase.

Becoming a caster might fit with her wanting to be more useful in battle.

I don't see a need for class changes, just get rid of that silly cosplay hoodie

She'll get hit with a particularly strong Mini curse early on when the Scions show up to investigate whatever the hook is, and spend the entire MSQ riding around in your pocket giving you advice.

I believe she will Job Change. She is the Only Scion now who hasn't had a Job Change (I guess unless you count Estinien. But I guess Ill say Archon)
And maybe she will be the Showcase for the New Job, like how Thancred was a Gunbreaker, alphinaud is a Sage, and alisaie was a Redmage.
And she seems like a Mage, so it would be a Magical DPS.

Its a massive reference to FF5's Krile and her outfit.

She'll more than likely get an new outfit that also has a cat ears hoodie attached.

Yes! I am here for this!

Could see a new healer, if we are getting 2 new jobs, theyll likely not do 2 dps for a variety of issues, so itll be dps n healer or dps n tank.

?

Wasn't Y'shtola shown originally as a healer/conjurer? Now she's a sorcerer (who you can switch between sorcerer dps and conjurer healer for trusts). I don't think it's a stretch for Krile to go from "I've barely had my healing abilities shown at all" to a new job.

Stormblood was two dps.

One of the most common theories is it'll be magical dps and another scouting dps.

Didn't they already say they wouldn't do another double dps expansion but always have a tank/healer in the mix?

In any case that would be the smart thing to do. You don't want to shift the balance even further when the roles that make up half of the team only have 8/19 jobs currently. Having tank/dps followed by healer/dps each expansion would be sustainable.
