    2nd new class theory

    Ok so I know I said I was done posting in the 1.0 forums, but much like the Godfather, something has pulled me back in

    Let me just state a few things here for the record before I proceed. 1st, I did not get into the alpha nor do I know anyone that has (yet), all of the information I present is based only on info provided to us by the dev team and Yoshi himself. 2nd, besides the flimsy bits of info I have to go off of, I have absolutely no facts backing up what I am about to say (god bless the internet right?) and all of this is purely speculation mixed with a gut feeling. So here goes.

    I think SE has a trick or 2 up their sleeves for us come release, and one of the biggest I believe is that, besides Arcanist, we will be treated to a 2nd new class. The main reason I feel this way is as follows:

    The game begins, you make (or remake) your character, and then you are asked to pick what country you want to start in. We know that now, in order to be from the city you want, you will have to pick one of the combat jobs (pretty sure they said you cant choose to start as a DoL or DoH) that has a guild in the city you are after. We also know from whats been said that, for the alpha, players only experience Gridania based zones and that the only jobs they have access to are Conj, Archer, and Lancer (each based out of Gridania). This means that, most likely, Thaum, Pug, and Glad will be the Ul'dah classes to choose from. So with the addition of Arcanist, that leaves Limsa with only 2 jobs to choose from (the other being Mrd) if you want to start there, while the other 2 cities have 3? Seems suspicious. We also know that in 1.0 there were in fact 2 guilds they never had jobs for, one of which was for Arcanist. (old news, I know, I warned you it was flimsy)

    I refuse to believe we have been given every drop of information about new things coming with the 2.0 release, because lets be honest, that would be totally boring if it were true. I am hoping my theory proves to be true, but have nothing to do now but wait and see. It would, in my opinion anyway, be waaaaayyyy better for veterans if we had 2 new classes to choose from instead of every single party after release looking like this:
    Arc
    Arc
    Arc
    Arc
    Arc
    Arc
    Conj
    Glad

    Thats all I got. Flimsy at best, but I would still put odds on it if they were taking bets in Vegas. Can't wait to see you all (with or without a 2nd new class) in 2.0!!!!

    Side note: Muskateer for the Win people !!!!!!!!!!!
    Side Side note: The other option for a title I wish i had chosen now was How to Build a Pipe Dream

    I would be absolutely giddy if they ninja'd in musketeer on us in order to give us all the original Limsa classes at release. Really don't see it happening, but it's a nice thought.

    Trying for once to be a half full kind of Galka about it all. I can totally see it happening if only because it would catch so many pessimists off guard in such a great way. It seems to me that making new classes would be the easy part of all the other ridiculous amounts of work they had to do to rebuild this game, but thats coming from someone that has absolutly ZERO experience making games. I base that only on the knowledge that they have been making jobs for FF games since the first, so it must be like second nature to them (plus they literally have dozens of templates to choose from) but again, thats me and my limited gaming knowledge talking out of my bottom.

    I would not be surprised at all if they did introduce another new class as a surprise, SE usually brings out new classes in twos don't they?

    I thought so too! Didn't all the Xi expansions do 2 or more new jobs at a time? Plus it would complete something that was a major request in 1.0, which fits the whole restructuring thing. Really excited to see how this plays out. That Yoshi P is crafty like a FOX! I wouldn't put it past him

    Well, I don't think I need to point out that we ARE getting 2 new classes. ACN and SMN.

    Keep in mind they could have been putting just as much work in this 2nd class as they have been with Arcanist/Summoner without simply letting anyone know about it being the only difference. I see it as fairly possible.

    Really?! the guy with the "Back Paddling" (his spelling not mine) thread gets 100 responses and I get 5? Not creating threads for responses, just pointing out that this topic seems way more interesting than half the crap people choose to respond too. There is no accounting for what some people find interesting I guess. I must be getting old.....

    Don't feel bad. Unless you are WAHmbulancing about something you don't have the guaranteed troll traffic
