Future Job Ideas

[ChanceFurystrike]

Gathering class idea: Garbage Collector. Your AF gear is a yellow jumpsuit and your blue main hand is a broom, the off hand is a garbage bag. The class quests involve cleaning up after people who have discarded unneeded equipment once they get their relic/DL/Allagan gear.

I hope they bring back Puppetmaster and Beastmaster from FFXI. I know they weren't the most popular but, they were still really fun to play.

I do not see Red Mage in there.

damn that chart was a lot of work for no reason.

I would rather see Dancer come form pug as a healer (I notice you include no healers) and templar from lancer (similar idea though) as tank. Samurai seems a little off coming from mrd, Id rather berserker as DD and have sam/nin come from more proper classes later. I agree with sniper/ranger (probably be labled ranger) sorc is an interesting idea. I always thought we could maybe get geomancer from con, but if we did we would want sep job weapons ( like you also mentioned). The theme is close, just the weapon off, unlike say the sam idea where both are off.

edit: I would alos like to see a class with bst and blm as its jobs :P one tames, one learns them

Red and Blue Mage would be interesting. Perhaps they could expand the Job system to make 3rd classes by requiring 2 Jobs at certain levels (30/15, 30/30, 50/25, or 50/50). And yes I mean jobs (2nd classes, like BRD), not classes like THM.

I know it's gotta be coming eventually, but I'm really looking forward to a non-Bard job for my archer. Virtually anything would be more exciting, but a ranger or sniper seems to make most sense. That being said, with a musketeer-like class looking like it's pretty much a guarantee, seeing as how there seems to already be a spot for the guild in the game, I can see just scrapping my advancement in the archer class and making that my main once I'm able.

I like speculation like this. I have a feeling Samurai an Ninja will come to the game, but I doubt they will come before an expansion pack. I could see a new city state w/ a more eastern aesthetic as origin places for them. At least that's how I'd like to see it handled. Right now they don't really match the aesthetic or world of the game's setting currently.

The only problem I see with MRD being Samurai, for example, is a Samurai with an Axe would look kind of silly. Not to mention the base skills wouldn't mesh very well with the class.

Same with Pugilist turning into Ninja. Though I like the idea of a Pugilist based tank, I think it would work best if it kept the flavor of pugilist (i.e. hand to hand to hand fist weapons).

and having a Dark Knight in game that uses 1 handed sword and no shield would leave them really low on stats, given the way the game stats out one handed and 2 handed weapons.

You can't really have a jobs that require weapons which basically aren't in the game currently, it doesn't mesh with the armory system at all.

Game really could use 1 more healing job and 1 more tanking job though. And 2 jobs per class would be great. I just don't know how we could fit another healer into the whole system.

I'm thinking a few more base classes wouldn't be bad that could then in turn have different jobs that extend out from them. Thief being one of the staple classes in any Final Fantasy game was just completely left out of this one, which baffled me greatly. Red Mage as well, but at the same token we did get the Arcanist first, where as typically any summoning type class in previous Final Fantasies were not found/unlocked until later.

I do agree though that we need more healers and tanks. But like you I'm not sure where the particular healing class/jobs would come from and/or how they would heal.

ninja as a tank? yeah, no. never again. terrible thread
