Class reminds me of Golden Sun Effects so the class is a win for me.

Reaper never received a bunch of hate considering it is pretty much a streamlined FFXI Dark Knight with a Devil Trigger Fell Cleave mode tacked on. The only hate it evewr got long term was that Endwalker launch it was overtuned and everyone loved it's selfhealing before it got nerfed.

I'm really just seeing a lot of whiners crying that it isn't Green Mage or Geomancer.

Green Mage was dead at it's inception given Green Mage was about defensive magic and status effects which XIV detests any kind of CC on enemies and especially bosses.

Geomancer is dead in the water since XIV technically considers Astrologians Geomancers alongside the Geomancer description in XI being similar to XIV Pictomancers. And Blue Mage uses Malediction of Water which is a Geomancer attack.

Geo in XI states "Geomancers (GEO) are arcane spellcasters that harness the power of geomancy to strengthen their allies, enervate their enemies, and provide much-needed support to the party. They assume many of the same support roles corsairs and bards do, and while they may not pack as much offensive firepower as black mages, they can employ elemental magic with ease. "

Whereas Pictomancers in XIV state "The pictomancer channels offensive elemental magic by creating a variety of artwork. In addition to hard-cast spells, they also have several instant cast actions, similar to other magical ranged DPS. They will also be able to buff nearby allies, similar to Red Mage or Summoner. They will not have access to a resurrection spell."

Huh wow. Boy that sounds familiar doesn't it.

Not to mention the Class brings it's own whimsical personality and therefore a unique identity to the roster of Job Classes available.

You've seen 4 elemental attacks, Moogle Beam/Blast, an artistic landscape of 3 Shooting Stars which is likely part of the Star Prism animation. And potentially a teaser of it's LB3 in the CG trailer with the flying Rainbow Paint/Slime creature Krile draws to life.

Sounds like the vocal minority on the forums can't ever be happy about anything and it's rather sad. You guys really want problems all the time.

If only you had the same enthusiasm Krile does for the new class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP9TVAtSFjc
