Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Pwnagraphic]

If I had to place a bet, I would put my money on scholar being a new job coming.

My thoughts:
-Yoshi said he wanted the direction on classes having more than one job.
-Yoshi said we are putting iconic jobs and gear set that should be readily identifiable.
-Why put a gear set (clone it from XI) on a cover that a large portion of the player base would see a scholar and not have it be a scholar?
-The game currently has a single healing job and could use another. Scholars in previous FF were healer/DPS
-SE loves to tease content/jobs being released.
-Summoner was announced AFTER the player base stumbled on an error on the web site.
-Even the developer blog is bring attention to the "scholar" character
-I showed my wife, who never played a FF before ff14, that "job wheel" picture and her reaction was, "Cool, looks like we are getting another job... is she wear a graduate or scholar cap... is there a FF job that wears those in another FF?"


To me, if it looks like a duck and sounds like a duck...

if it isn't SE just trolled A LOT of players with "Hey everyone, look at this thing that looks exactly like the scholar from FFXI!"

To then respond to that with, "Oh that, that is just the arcanist that we announced earlier... sorry to make you think we had something new."

There's a few things they draw attention to quietly or unnoticed. One I can remember off the top of my head was Foxclon mentioning how "Unique" this armor was.

Yeah it's unique.. just like the Bear PvP armor. Why did he choose to mention it over this and not the other armor?

Of course all we can do is speculate, but that's alright to do when we don't know if there's something(s) they're keeping hush hush until release or soon after.

I don't understand what you're getting at... this is THM/BLM PvP armour, we know this =/ I don't get what you're implying.

PLD = Lion
WAR = Bear
DRG = ?
MNK = "Parroty thing"
BRD = ?
BLM = Fox
WHM = Swan

Yeah.. I know. You totally missed my point. Foxclon made sure to say THIS particular armor was "unique looking". All of them were unique looking.. Why did he choose to focus attenton on this one? That was my point which flew over your head. Anyway..


A lot of nay-saying going on in here. I think most it is just for the sake of arguing. I think it's a Scholar, but if I'm wrong, and everyone else who thinks the same thing, then oh well.
