Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Fantasia]

lol here's wishing

Hehe <3 Forgo! >=D

[Destain]

I'm calling it. Official (in my mind), Scholar and Summoner will both be jobs for Arcanist! I will argue nonsensically til death or boredom with any naysayers.

I think you are reading too much into this...

Yeah of course we are. They're doing all that just to tell us "LOLLOL WE TROLLED YOU!"

[Catapult]

STILL sitting in the Arcanist camp, where I'm envisaging the scholar outfit being worn by the arcanist guildmaster, much like how E-Sumi can be seen wearing the Vanya (yes, we're allowed to talk about Gridania), making it class-only gear for spellcasters in the same vein.

I have no issues if I'm wrong. Just placing my bets.

Hopefully all our questions will be answered soon.

- It's either an ARC wearing scholar clothes. Perhaps they're planning class specific equipments as well.
- Or simply a new Job Scholar
- Or perhaps they're adding a new class/job(scholar). Who will use books and them changing ARC and SMN to use the original 1.0 arcanist weapons instead. Yes, there has been art. But it was nothing more than concept art. They can still change their mind and decided to change their main weapons.

In any case, we'll know soon enough what's going on.

With only a few hours until the live letter, I can't find the will to care about it anymore. However, whatever the outcome, I will be revisiting an old favorite image to poke fun at the argument... just need to wait to figure out which version to post...

I really don't prefer Scholar over many jobs. I would just rather believe in a flexible, perhaps "new and improved" job system, rather than think Team Yoshida would take a classic Final Fantasy job, any of them, beat it up and steal its clothes. If the picture showed Red Mage AF with a sword, I tend to think there would be more "it's Red Mage!", but there would still be some fiercely adamant "it must be Gladiator!!".

Ah well. Nothing left to argue. Like the song says, It's All Over But The Crying (Garbage version, natch).

aren't the archons, scholars from Sharlayan? (whatever it's called) so you could learn from them.
since elemental wheel is now, meh, maybe scholar (if it's a bit like in XI) can buff casters, to deal more elemental damage.
would make more sense to add scholar, than RDM, BLU or whatever.

The only real mechanic I hope they bring over from XI is the ability to switch between a healer/nuke role (similar to the Cleric Stance that CNJ has, but more effective) so that it can easily main cure in a raid. Only having 1 healer role means that for every 1 that's levelled means that only 3 other classes could level alongside it. There will be a major lack of CNJs to level with =/
