SE erasing post about player speculation

[Rjain]

Square Enix: "You know what! We're not gonna release the class anymore. TAKE THAT."

[Rjain]

But they never confirmed Arcanist, Yoshi-P said that he might drop Arcanist and Musketeer if they didn't fit with ARR. Everyone was expecting BST>SMN.

Arcanist has been in the game since the beginning, it has a guild, it's part of the story, and arcanist data has been added with every patch.

Hiir: SE! I found the cool info you posted on summons and such! They look good and awesome!

SE: Quiet kid, you didn't see anything...

Hiir: ; ; ...but you posted it...

SE: No I didn't. Shut up.

Fro what I read from the provided sites (thanks guys for providing links) arcanist and summoner look very interesting! ^_^ good job SE!

Yes, but it was never confirmed to be a playable class, Yoshi-P said that he might drop it. Just because it's in the game doesn't mean they're gonna use it, they could've said it was destroyed or something.

It'd be foolish if they didn't add Musketeer as well, it already has a guild and it's even part of the Limsa Lominsa storyline somewhat so SE would just be shooting themselves in the foot if they suddenly decided not to add it in.

But actually having SE confirm it is exciting none-the-less (unlike Musketeer, which is in the same situation as "basically confirmed", along with the 20+ classes .dat mined in 2010)

[AceofRains]

The biggest reason I see for them trying to cover this up and keep it hush hush is the fact it might not be solidified yet.


If everyone expects Arcanist->Summoner to be the direction they're going, might have some disappointed people!

Agreed. I would be really disappoined in Arcanist -> Summoner mainly cuz I made such a strong speculation towards other options (I mean really yoshi GLA -> DRK make NO SENSE!) Although arcanist is free to be what ever they make it, I'd feel it would be a better decision to make a general pet class that handles taming as well as summoning. Arcanist just feels more like a mage/buffer/cc. All is not set in stone though so I guess its okay.
