NA Fanfest Yoshi P T-Shirt

[SweetPete]

Okay I’ll take the gamble and start this off. Now I really want geomancer. Always have. It’s my favorite job in the FF series. Anyway.

Yoshi was wearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Mutant Mayhem shirt. Now first looking at it I immediately thought Genbu is basically a geomancer so hey we’re getting geomancer. But, then something was just off.

So I looked up the movie and the actors/directors. There is an actor name Shamon Brown Jr who plays michelangelo one of the turtles. Shamon sounds awfully close to Shaman. Then it all made sense. The nature theme of the new world. Shaman fits that theme very well. Also Yoshi did this before with the Spider-Man shirt when Samurai was teased.

I read through some reddit post already and see some people saying it’s maybe artist/pictomancer from FF6. I mean it makes sense too since all the turtles are named after famous artist. But, again. Something doesn’t feel right with the theme and all. This next expansion is nature themed. Shaman just makes more sense. Also Shaman will be an original new job to FFXIV. I do believe we’re getting an old job and a original ffxiv job. Endwalker brought Reaper. So I doubt we will get two original melee dps jobs back to back. I’m sure caster will be the new original job and the melee will be an old revised job to fit ffxiv.

I’d like to see what my fellow WoL’s think.

Plausible? Maybe. Happy Fanfest!

Glad to see a thread like this! I'm curious to see everyone's different theories.

Mine is pretty simple: the Ninja Turtles are green, so I think it's gonna be Green Mage.

I thought green mage too but, the devs are moving away from dots. So I don’t think they will bring a huge support oriented caster job like green mage into the mix. I mean why not just use teenage mutant ninja turtles without the mayhem? To throw us off? Keep us guessing? Maybe. I’m gonna stick with Shaman being the new original caster dps.

I saw someone make the guess of Pictomancer based off the concept of the Ninja Turtles being named after famous artists. Pretty solid guess I thought.

The Ninja Turtles hold 4 Weapons, we see the Warrior of Light holding a Sword while fighting Galool Ja Ja, yet no shield, yet it's MYSTERIOUSLY vanished at the end of the trailer while he's resting his hand on apparently air.


While I'm not willing to really bet on the name (My cope is Rune Fencer/Mystic Knight or a merger of the two). I am pretty convinced that with the way the sword seems to connect to the hilt this might be a whipblade scenario or one where the job itself has four weapon stances.

All I'll say is that I wouldn't get too fixated on what the mechanics of the class are going to be based on previous FF games. Red Mage plays wildly differently in FF11 compared to FF14, as do plenty of other classes like DRK and NIN. The class is really just an aesthetic skin that they can map whatever gameplay they want to. And Green Mages haven't been in many games so they've got a lot of breadth to make them do whatever they want them to do.

I'm thinking weapon master, akin to Octooath as they all had different weapons.

Who knows! Exciting.

What if they actually made Green Mage a legit support job with a plethora of buffs for party members

TMNT on the t-shirt:
Time Mage Next Time.

[Shurrikhan]

Since we know we're getting one Caster and one Melee, I just figured the TMNT shirt was a reference to the beast tribe around which the xpac seems centered, and likely to be their form of Shaman/Geomancer/Warder.

As for the other (likely Scouting) job, some manner of Bounty Hunter/Gambler (whipblade?) or Corsair (blade and pistol)?
