Future Jobs

[mythicrose]

Samurai could be feasible as a lancer job. Not all samrai used katanas. They were also trained to use bows, spears, and polearms. They've even used spears in one or two of the FF titles (apologies I cannot remember which ones off the top of my head).

I would love to see the following classes/jobs/advanced Jobs:
Class: Rogue
Jobs: Thief / Ninja
Job: Dark Knight (Gladiator Job#2)
Advanced Job: Magic Knight (DK+PLD)

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.

[Valmaon]

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

You play Arcanist (DD) to get Scholar (Healer).

[Telvorei]

Ninja, Thief, Red Mage, Dark Knight and Samurai are pretty much guaranteed to show up sometime down the line.

snip.

Yoshi-P said if he did make GLA have DRK, when you equipped the job soul stone all your tank and shield abilities change over to great sword and dd abilities. He said this was also just an example of how he'd do classes that are a different role than their job.

I just wanna see Blue Mage, but the more the merrier

The Soulflayers they added, make me think "BLUE MAGE!" immediately.

Heh, I loved FFXI's BLU AF quests
SPOILER
The last mission where you find out that a BLU who loses control of all the powers of all the monsters he absorbed becomes a Soulflayer was pretty awesome :3
END SPOILER
On another note, thank Gob that things like Soulflayers and Imps aren't as annoying as they were in XI
