New classes/jobs coming

[Shadow_Viper_vX]

Will new classes and jobs be getting added into the game in the future?

For example, where's thief/rogue, what about ninja? Red Mage?

And I really, really would love to have my future archer beable to become a Ranger.

What is the news regarding new future classes?

[MaethusXion]

They're planning on it. About the closes to knowing what we're getting is Musketeer, and that's not even a 100% at this point.

Was hoping more news had been revealed.

Heh, really want the ranger

[Shadow_Viper_vX]

No further news?

Really interested in Ranger

Why would there be yet?

The game's only 6 months old and it's inconceivable there'll be new races or classes before the first expansion and it's far too soon for SE to be making any public comments about things like that no matter how many times players ask about it.

They have said they hope to release Jobs in large patches, and additional classes in major expansions, I hope they have some extra jobs they are hiding from up to release this summer, because without something fresh, I think they will loose quite a few subscriptions to competition releasing this year.

They have staff employed especially for classes and balancing. You can't use those people for making Quests or Dungeons because that's not their forte.
In 1.1 this guys made (or tried to make) PvP valiable. But I wonder what they are working on since 2.2, because in this patch I don't see any big changes or balances between the classes.

So basicaly I hope their working on new Jobs.

Not sure why you quoted what I wrote because your comments seem to have no relevance.

I fully expect they ARE working on new classes .. races I think very unlikely .. I simply said it's too early for them to TALK about it. They HAVE made recent references to the state of development of 3.0, indicating a lot of development is well advanced and given their history with FFXI there's every reason to EXPECT new classes with expansion packs.

I jusy don't get this rising clamour for information on something that there's zero chance to happen before 3.0 (which I take to be the first expac) which itself is at least 6 months away (even if then), it's totally unreasonable to expect SE to say anything this early.

Are people's attention spans now so short they are already bored with what exists right now?

Legacy players that came in with all jobs at 50, all they have to do is grind gear and achievements. and people like me who just dont want to level anything other than the couple jobs they enjoy playing, Yes.

personally I'm really glad that they are giving me a reason to log in everyday to do the dailies again and the retainer ventures. so I'll have something to do even when my FC isnt doing anything.

As has been stated, there's been little news lately about new classes or Jobs, so all we have to go on is what's been said in the past, some of it contradictory, but the general belief is that new classes and Jobs will probably be added sometime before the first expansion due in a year's time, so any time between now and then could see new classes and Jobs added. But take that with a grain of salt.
