Future new Physcial Ranged DPS Job

[Xhadial]

I have a feeling we might get a blitzball job.

For all the times we volleyed Dr. Lugae in EW, I thought for sure that we would be get Blitzballer in DT.

It will be better than mch and brd thats for sure, but not better than god himself, Dancer.

i want new dps range, rather than buff range, better someone that work with musket like matchlock, wheelock, flintlock or blunderbuss...rather than modern automatic gun like MCH

they will need to reload when they runout of bullet, reload require casting just like how PCT draw, different kind of bullet as different affect just like how riffle bullet work in toukiden, attack ability will consume bullet like GNB and insant cast like other ranger, cartridge can hold 4 or 5 bullet

then each attack add some point into a job gauge, once job gauge full or fill certain number, they can use special attack like call out napoleon cannon or throw a grenade

i'd love to see corsair as the new phys ranged (imagine how GOOD the glams would be), but if my suspicion that 8.0 will be a void themed expansion ends up being right i think we might get a job with a sort of vampire hunter aesthetic :O maybe one that uses a crossbow and poisons?

hoping for a job that use both sword and gun like a Corsair job

Thinking about a cowboy/gunslinger themed job that uses a revolver, and its gameplay revolves around loading, and sequencing different ammo types, but you can only load 6 shots at a time. And give it a Deadeye-like move where you can fire off all six shots at once for their full potency.

If they do this, I want to see gunslingers get a 'lock on' action which let's you strafe around a fixed target with increased movement speed in proportion to the distance from the center (i.e. you move faster circumferentially the further out you are). Or alternatively, a lateral roll that follows a fixed radius from the target.

I was going to suggest trialing a ranged positional to go with that strafe concept, but I know that type of idea doesn't go down well around here. It would be a fun job direction, either way.

SE needs to stop focusing on a single combat metric about uptime and movement. I don't want this on rphys. This is a melee/caster thing. Please bring back other types of skill expression, thanks.

Hmm... Yes, I'm sure you're right. I'm sure that's the thing to do. Perhaps FFXIV shouldn't be about uptime and movement. Wait, I've got a better idea! Perhaps we should just make a new Physical Ranged job that's just about playing Tetris. On second thought, perhaps we should make the entire game about playing Tetris. Get Yoshi-p on the line, tell him we're scrapping the current game design. Tell him that we need new jobs and new fights that are all about Tetris.

Actually, wait a minute. Perhaps we're being too hasty. Don't get Yoshi-p just yet. Perhaps we should consider this for a moment. Maybe, and I'm just throwing suggestions out here, maybe the devs ought to design jobs for the game that we've actually spent the past ten years playing.
