New Classes

[Luluna]

Somehow, I'd imagine dancer to use an exotic weapon like a Tessen
(a Japanese war fan)

I loved Dancer on FFXI and even though daggers where nice i always wanted to use fans so id be pretty happy if they did that. Dancer was a great asset to a party and i would love to see the job here along with Blu and Pup.

What really got my attention was on Page 18 it was Brightshadow's post. I really think DoB has a real good chance of happening seeing how most of the posts in this thread were wanting Pet classes. This is one way to go about it.

Please forgive me for quoting myself, but this basically sums up how I feel about this entire discussion.

While I do think the current armory system can be refined, I hope they do so in a way that focuses on the various ways that classes can be combined to make unique play styles, rather than introducing new jobs/sub-jobs that do it for you.

Please forgive me for quoting myself, but this basically sums up how I feel about this entire discussion.

I completely agree with your quote. I hope before they are going to implement any new classes that they make the current playstyles more unique.

Less is more.

Should of been like 600 people want rdm, and wtf at 13 on drk (unless you guys were drks), most people hated drk ; ; (my boyfriend's ranting about how he never got an invite on drk for years haha in the background). I'm glad 31 people are exactly like the 600 billion people I hated in XI, everyone and there mom effing level up sam, (i should of got my mom to level sam, I should of got my mom to play XI ; ; ) It was a such a bandwagon, I get it the job is great, its beyond great, but sometimes there is just too many of one job.

[Tenchi]

There was a lot more disscusion in this thread than people just stating what jobs they would like see be put in this game. That made me very happy. Lots of people came up with their own unique classes. I hope the dev's at SE are the same and can come up with completely new jobs to wow us all over with. still hoping for some type of summoner though.

[Gracious]

If I remember right before the game was released there was talk that DoL and DoH we're going to actually be a part of battle groups. I wonder if this could also factor into the jobs.

[zaviermhigo]

Fencers only have one rapier (sword) traditionally, a parry knife sub would be cool (like spanish sword deuling not sure what its called). I'm imagining one western expansion and one eastern expansion of classes eventually down the road.

So here's my ultimate summary of what I would LOVE to see in FFXIV regarding jobs:

Starting jobs:
6 traditional jobs from FF1
Warrior
Thief
Monk
White Mage
Black Mage
Red Mage

Traditional Unlockable Jobs:
Other jobs included in games like FF3, FF5, and FFTactics (PS version).

NEW Unlockable Jobs:
In addition to all of the traditional jobs, they can include some new types, either the ones that were released in games like FF Tactics Advance games, or some of the current class lineup that FFXIV has, or other new jobs (corsair was an awesome idea from FFXI), as well as never before seen jobs.

It would be neat to have all the traditional stuff AS WELL AS a bunch of new stuff to keep things interesting. I just don't like the fact that all the traditional jobs were completely abandoned.

SE please stay away from adding any NEW CLASSES untill their is content and after all the Battle changes. The only reason people want new classes is because their is not a lot to do in the game. Some may want their favorite class/classes to get in the game but wait. I loved Blue Mage and would love to see it in the game but i want it to be their after all the fixes and remodeling of the game.

So Dear SE please wait till after all the fixes.

On a side note if SE hasn't implamented Travel, end game and a mailbox system. Adding new classes is at the very end of what they will do untill they remodel the game.

It would be nice to see a lot of the jobs that were mentioned but as of now not going to happen. Did you guys miss wheir they mentioned remodeling of the game then adding new jobs will come way after and before jobs will be content so i say we have atleast another year for new jobs.
