Next Limited Job better not take the crossbow weapon

[sindriiisgaming]

I swear, if its beastmaster, and we never get a full crossbow job because of it, I will be sad. I want a full on ranged crossbow job that can go into regular combat.

There MIGHT be an exception though. There is a difference between a light crossbow and a heavy crossbow. They could reserve one for beastmaster and one for an extra job. Weight class absolutely matters in crossbows.

after what they did to criterion savage, im afraid to hope anymore for beast master.. like theyll either just not impliment it.. which is like, WHY? its free money... or they will and not give it a whip which imo this game NEEDS

I'm predicting it is Blitzballer. Seems too perfect a synergy with the whole oceanfaring, beach vacation vibe. Especially since Mesoamerica is THE ballgame epicenter of history.

i dont know how many times this guy needs ro say no before people will stop asking for this.. didnt he quite literally say "no blitzball in ffxiv ever" at the london fanfest?

I mean aside from whatever logic you might have on this, why do you think that your personal preference should stand above whatever SE does? Just curious.

Maybe not as a mini-game, sure. But as a job class, especially after seeing Gunbreaker and Viper, it seems quite fair to wonder if it will happen at some point. Especially given how popular FFX and the concept of blitzball is.

Personally, I think an "athlete" job would be very distinct design space that we are missing from the roster. And I also think that it skews just enough into silly/performative to be a good candidate for a limited job, the same as Blue Mage is a thespian.
