Future Jobs

[PeppeLepeu]

I think itd be cool if they added the red mage and implemented it as a melee caster similar to valewalkers from daoc, or HoX from AoC

I hope it will be possible to add new jobs to the range of those available, and it will increase the dynamic nature of the game world too.

Dark Knight can not come off of Gladiator... Gladiator is a tank.. I know that Paladin came from Dark Knight but with how they have the armoury system it just does not make any sence ( at least to me )... you play Gladiator ( tank ) to get Paladin ( tank ) you play lancer ( dd ) to get dragoon ( dd ) conjurer ( healer ) to get white mage ( healer ) well you get the point... playing Gladiator ( tank ) to get Dark Knight ( dd ) does not make much sence with how they have the armoury system.. Know if when you got the Job they made it more like FF 11 and you had to start from lvl 1 and you learn all new skills and spell ( some that others have or are similar to ones others have ) that complement the job instead of having access to skills that don't match the job much.

For example most of the Gladiators skills are geared at tanking so getting a Dark Knight out of that would mean that most of the class skills would be un-useable for a dd job.. They would need to make a new class to spawn Dark Knight from ( that is what I think anyway ) other wise they would have to get it from Marauder because out of the classes they have it is the closest they have to anything that can spawn a Dark Knight.. It has skills that allow it to gain HP from damage it does and skills that allow it to do more damage so it can get more HP from the damage it does. But it would still be better to make a new class for them to get Dark Knight from that way they can make sure that at least half of the skills and spells are suited to the Job of Dark Knight..

[Valmaon]

I just mainly don't want them to mess up Dark Knight sence it is the Job I am looking foreword to the most.. It's just getting it out of Gladiator seems like they would be trying to force it to work. Just because Paladin came from Dark Knight in FF 5 does not mean you have to get them from the same class.. PLD came from San D'Oria in FF11 and DRK came from Bastock in FF11 so it would not be the first time the had them come from something different..Know getting them from the same place would be just fine. Heck it might even be kind of fun if they added a rivalry between the PLD's and DRK's something about the teachings of Cecil.. This is just what I think... weather people agree or dis-agree is completely up to them.

I think a Galdiator and a thaum or glad and lancer would actually make sense to me as being the dark night (glad for the knightly fighting style) and lancer for the ability to use long pokey weapons or scythes. or thaum for the dps spells.

just because the classes as of now all line up to be dd - dd doesn't mean anything. Also there is nothing besides past games saying the dark knight cannot be a tank oriented to dps or life taps. itd add another flavor. by having the mitigating tank - pally, hp tank - war, and siphon tank - dk

[Valmaon]

I will have to admit that Dark Knight being a siphon tank might be kind of interesting... Did not think of that one.. And that is why we discuss things.. :-)

[PeppeLepeu]

Agreed i think it would be a fun dynamic. But i have also heard mention from the devs interview that they have considered having the dk come from the marauder and have the act of being the dk change some the tanky abilities that youd get from glad to something more dd like but i don't know if they droped the idea. Also the marauder makes sense for a dk as well as it already uses large weapons so change from axe to scythe, and thaum / lancer secondaries would actually work.

With Phase 4, it looks like Bard has swapped roll from Healer/Support to DD...
We've got a DD (Arcanist) becoming a DD (Summoner) or a Healer (Scholar).

Dark Knights traditionally use a Sword and Shield, hence coming off the Gladiator class makes sense. Advanced Job of Runic Knight or Arcane Knight could also be acquired from mastery of Dark Knight and Paladin...

As for a secondary Lancer class, I would like to see the Holy Dragoon (What Kain becomes in TAY) as either an Advanced Job (Requiring Paladin + Dragoon at 50) or a Second Job choice for Lancers (LNC+CNJ or whatever PLD's Secondary becomes).

Sages are masters of both White and Black Magic, so I could see the Advanced Job: Sage appearing for Level 50 White Mage and Black Mage.
