2nd new class theory

Unless it's a gatherer or crafter I don't think we're going to see anything other than Arcanist at launch. Even Yoshi-P said Summoner probably won't be ready until after the first major patch after the game launches. My reasoning for this is on the home finalfantasyxiv.com site, Arcanist and Summoner were both blanked out on their respective pages until they were leaked and then revealed. There's no more "Coming Soon" boxes on the DoW and DoM pages, however we still don't have anything posted for the DoL or DoH yet.

Hey Orophin, first let me say thanks for the reply. I agree that its a stretch at us getting a brand new class along with Arc come launch, but if they were to give us a suprise class (along with, what I hope, is some other suprise content at launch) it would make little sense to reserve a spot for it on the official site (assuming of course its meant to BE a suprise). At the end of the day I would just be really sad if, in the process of following this remake so closely via the internet, we walk away unimpressed with the content in 2.0 simply because none of it suprised us. The interweb and our love of this game is a double edge sword my friends

Also, as you mentioned, I would actually be just as excited to get ANY new job for any of the three class types at launch, so even if it was a DoL or DoH job I would be just as stoked!

I always really like the idea of a physical damage class using a stave, especially considering how effect they are and how awesome it would be to see. Lots of aoe moves I would hope
