Job Wheel!

[Klive]

Either

A) Its a new job.

B) SE wants to bring attention the new class being released for ARR launch


Either way we no way to confirm.

I see that a blue mage, right on the side of the white mage?

Yep and i see Samurai top of Bard.
lol I bet there just random gear.

I doubt SCH would come from arcanist. Plus I really hope they dont do that 2 jobs from 1 class thing, so dumb.

You may be disappointed because that may what they end up doing.

You mean about SCH coming from arcanist? Or 2 jobs from 1 class? Either way, I think they are both unlikely.
Just my opinion though because it doesn't seem logical, idk

Hey, DEVS, can you please just jump in and confirm which one it is before this thread gets too 100+ pages? I'm begging you.

2 jobs from one class. I think it be dumb for SCH to come from Arcanist. It just don't make sense but then again SE can do w/e they want.

Yoshi-p did say that what he thinking of doing and it keep saying it so it may end up happening that 1 class would have more then one job. I don't see why it's unlikely look at the base system we have 1 class can equip a stone and become a job. It make sense that you can get more stones to keep adding to that class we may even have advance jobs.

"It's Scholar!" v. "It isn't Scholar!"

Who knows. SE might just want the two newest things front and center, artistic balance be damned, or maybe those Reddit posts a month or two back with the SCHOLAR UNLOCKED screenshot weren't just fakes n' flukes, eh? I wouldn't put it past SE to sneak something by us. Yoshida did say that the three newest jobs would be a pet class, a scout class, and supportive magic user. Summoner is confirmed, Thief is everything but confirmed, and Scholar would fit the bill for that last one. We'll have to wait and see.


"[THIS CLASS] TURNING INTO [THIS JOB] MAKES NO SENSE AND IT MAKES ME ANGRY."

It's really time to give this kind of thinking up. None of it makes sense. It's all based on previous experience and association. It makes no less sense for a Bard to use a bow than a dagger (I'd argue that it makes more sense for the artistic, music-minded people to be attacking from a distance), and both of those make about as much sense as boxing leading to Kung-fu chi-blasting, or all spear-wielders suddenly developing a hatred for everything dragon. SE has every right to challenge the past if they can make it fun. And Rangers use Great Bows, for the record. If Paladin using sword doesn't block great swords from ever happening, there's still plenty of room for Ranger.

All in all, the big clue here is the book. Scholar might have some evidence going for it, but would SE really release two classes and jobs that both use books at the same time? That'd be silly.

I half-hope that Scholar turns out to come from Musketeer just so the rigid traditionalists' heads will explode trying to accept Lominsa as home to a quick-witted, well-spoken, flintlock-firing squad of casters.

It just occurred to me that if the intention is to slowly raise the level cap over time (i.e. through expansions.) then secondary jobs for classes could become relevant.

It no longer becomes an issue of my "Class X" is 50 so my "Job X1" is also fifty and the new "Job X2" will also be 50. But rather (if they do it well.) The level cap is raising to 60. My level 50 "Class X" can continue leveling with "Job X1" to the new cap OR I can unlock "Job X2" and play as that. Or for people with no interest in playing a given class because of the job that it currently turns into, with the advent of new jobs a class may become one that certain people want to play as.

I still think they would need to drastically change their approach to how jobs work, but really there's no evidence that they haven't done that already.

Trying to make definitive statements at this juncture is just a little silly. It's not possible to answer the question with the information provided. Everything else is just assumption and speculation.

The issue with the whole "Scholar Unlocked" screenshot, is that it could have easily been a fake. I mean, look at this one someone made to prove the point:
