    Again, Shes right. Archer is being used as the Latin "Arcus+ -er" meaning User of the Arcus (Bow). Archer is simply a Bow User. Ranger was never limited to Bows, they could use guns, cross bows, and throwing weapons with just as much accuracy as a bow. They can also use axes, swords, daggers, staffs, clubs, and a few others. While an Archer can only and will only ever use a Bow.

    Same for Dragoon/Lancer.
    Dragoon = Lances, Polearms, Ancors, Harpoons, Wing Swords, Epees, Shields, etc.
    Lancer (Lacea + -er Lance User) can only and will only ever use Lances which includes spears and Polearms in this case..

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.
