Other 'planned/leaked' classes.

[DeadRiser]

Please Square, if you are going to release classes in the future, please don't get rid of the ideas that were leaked through the data bits.
Flayer (whip), Fencer (rapier), Stavesmen (Staff)... I mean you don't see those types of weapons in many mmo's damage dealing wise.

My Miqo'te needs her whip now so I can be cat-woman

[Gramul]

If they do add them, I'd assume it would be after the class/battle system revamp.

I don't know if that leak was real, however.

Well it had Arcanist, Muskateer, and Shephard on it and those are basically in game already. Only time will tell lol

Yeah i hope they add whips and rapiers. That would ... for lack of a better word... totally pwn.

I hope they scrap all of those unless you build a RDM from components of gladiator plus fencer instead of levelling it. They're not FF, and they're completely generic sounding which is a major problem with this game.

How generic can you get...stavesman.

The classes are supposed to be generic. They're just tools to allow you to make the class you want.

Indeed, and with Yoshida's plans you can specialize further into some non-generic class afterwards.

They shouldn't scrap any of those, they all sound like pretty fun template classes.

Except what you are agreeing too is removal of the core system of XIV that makes it fun. You don't have to do that to implement Classic FF JOBS. Because whats in XIV right now are WEAPON CLASSES. Please do not confuse the two.

Also Monks are NOT hand to hand specialists. They are Martial Arts and Chi Specialists. White Monks are the added bonus of a Monk who can use small forms of White Magic.

Monks can use Fists, Kicks, nun-chucks, Staffs, Clubs, Spears, and Throwing Weapons.
They also Self-Heal, Throw Balls of Spirit Energy, Buff up their bodies to withstand an attack, and heal their allies.

Pugilist Specialize in Fist Weapons.

They are NOT mutually interchangeable.


Again, Peregrin in my system there is no Pre-reqs for Leveling a Job. There is nothing to level on the Job. The Job just dictates what type of specialization you chose. And gives you bonuses for staying on that path.

The game was rated 4/10 and the main problems were lack of content, crap battle system, and lag. I think it's pretty obvious that the core of this game isn't fun, it sucks.
