Next Job - Freelancer?

[LanceSummers]

I feel like a true Freelancer job could require minimal work and make the game feel way more fun. Not sure how'd they do it, but I'm sure Square could find a way.

Man I just want a pirate job like Corsair. I don't even care what it does or what role it is, I'm just floored they haven't done it yet.

Either a pirate or a viking type job, I beg. Let me duel-wield two axes like a madman.

The next limited job, maybe? I mean, it's just miserable playing the game before you get your job stone, so IDK if anyone really wants a job based on that part again.

It could be interesting as some sort of limited job idea (perhaps some sort of job that can take actions from other jobs) but I feel like it wouldn’t have enough long term potential to be a full on job. I mean, there’s only so far you can take a job whose purpose is more or less just to be the plain Jane unspecialised starting job before it becomes something unrecognisable. Its whole identity is to have no identity.

It would be interesting, and I suspect that, even if it isn't Freelancer, we'll probably get a full-spec version of one of the Occult Crescent Phantom jobs.

Personally, I'd rather like to see Mystic Knight as a full job.

I doubt that will happen. Considering you were a sudo-freelancer with 1.0's action/trait system and that was one of the first things Yoshida had the team saw down during the patches he took over.

Here's how I would do a Freelancer job in FFXIV;

*Is NOT a Limited Job.
*Has access to to all combat class/job abilities and traits, as well as role actions based on each combat class/job level, with shared traits prioritizing the highest level job in that role, including Limited Jobs.
*Can select up to 32 abilities across all combat classes/jobs, including Limited Jobs.
*Can equip all weapons, armor, and accessories.
*Brings back TP and uses it for job gauge abilities
*Has several unique traits that include converting main DPS stats into other main DPS stats, converting main role stats into other main role stats, and equipping a second weapon into the off-hand slot.
*Some weaponskills/spells/abilities require that class'/job's main weapon, mostly reserved for job gauge abilities.
*Is a DPS role.
*Can be used as the basis for Onion Knight(tank) or Mime(healer), and they also use TP instead of having a unique job gauge, and are also NOT Limited Jobs.
