Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Anonymoose]

Not to mention that without a second class at start up, you can bet your boots we'll be seeing full parties of Arcanists toting entire packs of Carbuncles around the cliffs of La Noscea for at least a month. I'm definitely in favor of anything that'll mitigate that and hopefully they are too.

Oh, man, if this SCH thing happens, and it's attached to an entirely new class, I sure hope that wasn't their logic. "We're going to have nothing but parties of Arcanists. We better release a second class." "Good thinking, something physical?" "No, no. Something that'll lead to Scholar. I don't think the people want Thief badly enough, yet."

Away with your filthy logic! I want this, okay?! No, but I do agree that SCH is not the most logical choice for a ninth job. That's actually a point I made elsewhere when the image first cropped up.

I actually want it, too. I actually want all of the things I've argued as being unlikely. I want Scholar because I think it's an interesting and fun class, even if it wasn't terribly useful in FFXI and doesn't seem like a high priority need for ARR yet. I want it to be job branching because hell yeah two jobs for one grind, bitches! And if it's not job branching, I want Scholar to come from Musketeer because, seriously, take that people who are way too pushy about this. Still, if they managed to keep all of that secret this long, just WOW. Yoshida's already kind of a legend... he'd be a development demigod.
