Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Anonymoose]

I'm actually glad to see so many people deciding to not take a stance on this one. Usually there'll be a huge debate over the speculative evidence, and I'm usually able to suss out where it's headed (the old "Which mage becomes BLM" debate, the "is it a barcher" debate, etc.) but this one's just too close to call.

That's clearly Scholar's aesthetic, but in fantasy worlds, scholar and arcanist are very similar concepts - a gatherer of useful and sometimes secret knowledge. Between that and the book, there's just as good a case for SE wanting Arcanist front and center with Summoner for the release of the class/job as there is for there being a job we know nothing about coming from a class we've never heard of... 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.

We're just going to have to wait until E3 and see what they've got up their sleeves. Too much in the air right now.

on the other hand theres just jobs on there and then it should be summoner but summoner is on there already...

As far as we know they have revealed the headgear for Arcanist since previous pics have not done so.
Other then that it is all just speculation/waiting for next live letter.

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.
