Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Kinseykinz]

unless it comes from Musketeer, which would just be great to watch unfold after the ARC > BRD incident ... or maybe they've even finally caved of class to job branching.

This would be so deliciously hilarious I almost hope that is what happened....almost. The nerd rage that would ensue...

I'm not going to lie, it might be the longest shot in history but I think it would be creative to see that side of Lominsa. Think about it - neat, military bliauds and dress pants (skirts for teh ladies, short because, you know, can't be trippin' over that thing on the battlefield /totallynotsuspicious) on the intellectual elite of Lominsa, who wield both tactical, battlefield manipulating magics on one hand and TP-boosting physical damage weaponskill dealing sidearm flintlocks with the other.

HOW. BADASS.

..the intellectual elite of Lominsa...

I think that is an oxymoron

I think Scholar would be more at home in Grid or Uldah.

Intelligence runs on pretty much a bell curve, even when comparing the homeless to Fortune 500 CEOs. Lominsa wouldn't have lasted very long as a nation without some gifted people at the helm. Warships, navigation, unique architecture engineered to the island itself...

Either way, Summoner is on the cover of the CE and Scholar is not. I'd say that's a hint to not get our hopes up about it existing anytime soon, never mind being related at all to MSK, who is far and away more likely to be Corsair - a magical gambling job with an offhand flintlock for TP and WS.

HOW. BADASS.

Like a Secretary on the field?

The only thing that speaks against arcanist is, that only jobs are displayed on that artwork.

ah well and the second.. that this is definatley scholar AF

scholar could be a rip off of arcanist since scholar is an enfeebling / debuffing job... which almost fits the arcanist role perfect. so there could be two paths to chose from.

arcanist is a pet class with debuff skills..

arcanist -> scholar (specialized into debuffs and enfeebling)
arcanist -> summoner (specialized in pets)

This definitely makes sense to me! Yoshi has said something to the effect that they were considering multiple jobs per class. I just hope summoner is DD focused and Scholar is support.

Lol, I've seen people, hopefully joking, talking about musketeer > scholar. I really highly doubt it... Someone make a gun book just in case!

What about a gun hidden in a book ??

I'LL TAKE IT.

Just to stir the coals here (because I'm trying so hard to not let my gut instinct influence me before this inevitably gets gatling'd at Yoshida's twitter in the next LIVE letter or at E3...), what does each side of this debate make of the fact that this is the same character making the same facial expression?
