Could There Be Any New Disciplines of the Hand/Land?

[Yrusama]

Hey, fellow XIV fans! I know recently there was some buzzing about the idea of a new Discipline of Magic. (Not going to name it lest Camate Snurble bite my head off adorably). It got me thinking: are there any types of crafter or gatherer that could be added to the game? To me the current roster has pretty much everything covered, and to be honest that has me worried. I liked leveling crafts and am rather quickly running out (I'm saving CUL for after 2.0 to see what the new quests are like).

What sort of crafting/gathering classes do you think might be cool for addition down the road (long after A Realm Reborn, maybe in a later expansion)? Here are some of my ideas:

*Shepherd: DoL originally in the game data, would gather materials from monsters without actually harming them.
*Crystalier: DoL that specializes in crystals and Aether. Able to siphon Aether from draw points (a la FFVIII) using a magic tool. Maybe able to gather its own Anima at later levels, but also find wild clusters.
*Engineer: DoH able to make machine parts. Main Tool would be a wrench. Works closely with the three smith types and Alchemists. Able to make airship parts and guns for Musketeer. SE already said they'd like to allow custom airship building, but we probably won't see that at 2.0.
*Synergist: DoH able to combine two materia into a stronger type.

These are just some ideas. SE may not even bother to add any new DoH, although I think there is potential for at least 1 more DoL. Maybe SE will decide to add one if there is suddenly a need for a new civilian class. Forgive me if someone already brought up this topic.

yes, for land, I too think there will be a tamer/shepherd,
as it is right now, there is no way to get pelt/hides fangs or sinew as a gatherer and as a tamer, you would harvest from animals.

as for hand
dont think either will be added per it can be simplified to make gun powder with alch and the gun or bullets with blacksimth

Some sort of shepherd would be my choice. I would love to keep snurbles in my back yard and shear them for snurble tufts.

Shepherd was in the dats at the beginning of the game, so it may be possible that they come into existence at some point. It would be nice to have an alternative to getting animal hides other than killing mobs. That was probably one of the big reasons why I couldn't bring myself to level leatherworking in FFXI.

^ This!

^_^ Shepherd would be very cool and make leveling Weaver a lot less heartbreaking! It made me so sad to kill those lovely lil snurbles over and over as they tossed me a heal or cast protect on me. ; ;

Shepherd would be nice, but I just can't fathom how they'll obtain their skins/hides. If it's not a combat class... you could safely shear sheep, but you can't kill a Gigantoad. Are there going to be "Carcass piles" where you go to skin already-dead stuff? Ew.

The only craft from FFXI not available is Bonecraft which is currently covered by goldsmith. I Can see Tamer/shepard being a doL however shepard(tamer) / beastmaster could be a new pet class.

If Square-Enix want to use a lot of imagination, hey could set up a system where one person can capture mobs (DoL), one can train them up (DoH? O_o), one can use them in battle (DoW/M).
