New Classes

[Ava]

I would love to see all of the FFXI classes be added over time with new ones as well. But I think right now Square should focus on fine tuning what they already have so that when they add the new classes they already have a foundation to build upon.

Alternatively, leave the current classes in their broken state and add new ones that are balanced and focus balancing into these new classes with only minor changes to current ones.

I would like to see Bard in the game, with the ability to custom write your own songs... like in Mabinogi.

The system also involved/required the custom songs to be written on a consumable with limited uses.. allowing the song writer to make a profit off of other player musicians that enjoyed, and would like to play their music.

Many people don't know that Vindictus is based after Mabinogi and its actually called Mabinogi heroes, the reason why Vindictus was created was because Mabinogi was actually a pretty hardcore mmo underneath all the cutesy anime graphics and people never believed it, so they made battling number one and created Vindictus, which is techinally supposed to be set in a similar universe. So I won't flame you Mabinogi is one of the hardest f2p games out there right now.

yes it was.... you so couldn't solo mabinogi. heck the elf fight story fight with the knight phantom was hard.... XD i had ti buy 3 pets to tank it for me wile i ranged it. i miss playing mabinogi just the f2p thing made playing hurt ; ; idm if they remake mabonogi with a sub. I miss that game.
And you wasn't limured to classes any player could ware any item with in reason (level based) to make your own class. I always made a rdm :3 duel sword rdm made things hurt.
mabinogi reminded me of ffxi in the way.

1) a Beastmaster type pf class would be awesome since its one of my favorites

2) In game you have the buccaneers why not make a Buccaneer/Pirate class (gun's / playing cards)

3) Dual wielding class Rouge or Ninja

All of you are insane! What other class could possibly be more important than bard? Why is bard not in the game yet already? Almost everything else you've all suggested is secondary!

We've got DPS, we've got tanks, we've got healers. Why the hell do you want more of that when we have no buffing class yet?!

[God]

With all the hight obstacles I'd say Geomancer.

[Shadowedge]

Ninja and Thief. I'm so sad there's no THF.

And implementation of all the FFXI classes into FFXIV would be really cool each with there own new abilities different from FFXI but now in a graphically better game... but now who would want to play old FFXI anymore. SE has some decisions to make

[Psion]

I demand my puppetmaster back. It was one of the few original jobs SE had in years that hit it off, and was the most successful and powerful of the pet classes by the time they finished with most updates and added deus ex automata. It was the most flexible, being able to be a healer, nuker, and hit any type of enemy weakness, and valoredge is even a halfway decent disposable tank now. the only thing left tripping it up is the AI, and in FFXIV they could (and should!) implement a FFXII style gambit system to customize the AI just like you want. It's a sign a system works so well when people's biggest complaint with FFXII was that the game played itself because gambits were too perfect, and with a system like that automatons wouldn't fall into the same AI traps like priorizing -na spells over healing like they did in FFXI. I absolutely miss fighting alongside my Oniwaka, using my fists and his magic, pushing ourselves to the limit in what we could solo and lowman using our powers, and getting thrills when I took down a creature even beastmasters and some red mages feared to poke.

I'd also love a psychic class, especially since it would fit my name quite nicely. ^.^ I'm not too picky on what it does, though as FFX-2 international version had a psychic class, I suppose the dev team could take a peek there to get some ideas. I do remember it having abilities that let it absorb physical, magical, and eventually both attacks at once, however.
