Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[Destain]

Haha Whatever, I'm just pointing it out! ^^ (I hope she is a Scholar)
Also, the Summoner is the same character... I'm just looking at the patern. ^^;

(I know I really hope too)

It is Scholar!!!

I am not saying the girl in the "job wheel" photo isn't an Arcanist, I am saying she is an Arcanist that has her Scholar job stone and AF equipped ! I sound like the Ancient Aliens guy on history channel

How much will that be, 4-6 hours of gameplay?

A questline, no matter how long and hard, is hardly comparable to leveling a job from 1 to 50 in terms of keeping players busy.

That's like being upset with a skill tree. It would actually take more time since you'd have to do quests instead of just buying new skills.

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

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!"

They've been planning this since the beginning. That's why they drew attention to Soken and his Knee high's, and also why Soken posted pics of knee highs on twitter. Illuminati...ish!

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).

[Radacci]

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.
