New expansion info, new job revealed!

Re: New expansion info, new job revealed!

FFV is the only one I havn't played. what other jobs are we missing from FF?

so far...

WHM, RDM, BLM, SAM, SUM, THF, DRK, BRD, CORSAIR, BLUM, WAR, PAL, DRG, Dancer, BST, RNG, I thinkt heirs a few more.

The only 2 job types I think have not been included in FFxi thats in the other games is Beserker (FFX-2) and Gunner, though corsair has a gun and it will be itnresting to see if the normal attack is just medium damage from the gun with special bullets doing the de-buffs / buffs.

Short answer: The dregs.

Geomancer (3, 5) AKA Elementalist, Taoist, Feng Shui User. Mage that uses random spells based on the current area (not specifically where he's standing) for no MP cost.

Geomancer (T) Light fighter with damage+enfeeble spells depending on the terrain he's standing on.

Dancer (5) Different from the FFT version or the X-2 songstress. Basically a brutal but fragile attacker/disabler combo. I had an idea for a dancer job ages ago that I think could be refined and fleshed out onto somthing worthy. But it would be similar to Corsair so "meh".

Sorcerer (5) ENTHUDNAR!! (Except brutally strong.) Bonus is that it'd soak up all the noob RDM.

Berserker (5, X-2) Didn't play X-2, but the FFV version is slow and tough but just attacks automatically.

Time Mage (5, T) Not gonna happen I think as their traditional abilities have been handed out to other jobs.

Mimic (5, T) I can't even imagine how to make this work in FFXI. Moving on.

Chemist (5, X-2) A strong possiblity. Was called Alchemist in X-2, but would probably be called chemist in XI to seperate it from the guild.

Chemist (T) It can't do anything everyone can't already do in XI besides Auto-Potion.

A lot of the jobs in FFTA are hybrids of each other so it's kinda hard to pick any out.

There's also FFXII that noone seems to have mentioned. From what I've seen of it so far Pirates play a role in that.

Re: New expansion info, new job revealed!

Sky pirates I beleive, but from looking at the shots on the website it looks like their form of atatck is a hybrid of other standard jobs, and the pirate is just a name.

Re: New expansion info, new job revealed!

Beserker in a way is the equivalent of a Warrior when you look at it. Gunner I forgot about that has to be FFT right? Gunner doesn't exist in FFV if I recall correctly.

gunner was also in FFx-2 what Yuna starts with before getting the Dancer dress sphere off Le Blanc.

Re: New expansion info, new job revealed!

Well, me as much as many of you have played many FF. Being very objective, lets not mix up a job from a profession. For example, Tidus from FFX... how would you define him? A warrior, a paladin, a dark knight?Nooo waht.. his and wakkas job were blitzballers!!!!! My point is, not because certrain characters in pervious final fantasies were or had pirateish activities means that the job itself will revolve around those abilities.

Somone mentioned Cath Seith from FF7, in my personal case I never found that character useful, other than the times i was forced to have him in the praty, i never ever even bothred to levle him or give him any cool materia. I think that the Corsair will be a job, along that bluemage that will start with no clue on how to fit the parties, but with patches and updates they will find a proper balance. I mean lets face it, at leat in my server there is still the stigma that DRGs are no good, I personaly admit that the DRG is that lats job i will pick up for and xp party. I might be wrong but its the fact.

I really wish, lik most of you, tha these jobs are truly useful and different, and not just a disguised version of something that already is out there.

Thanks

Re: New expansion info, new job revealed!

Wow, now that they add up, there is a bunch of possibilties!

[Rai]

Re: New expansion info, new job revealed!

a lot are listed multiple times, for each FF game and when you read about the jobs on the site you see the overlap between the various jobs.

FFXI is a bit different from the previous turn based games, so SE has to make the jobs more flexible.

[Macht]

Re: New expansion info, new job revealed!

Yeah, a lot of those jobs are multiples of one another. When you start collecting those together to make more of a definite group the job count comes out being more like 25 or so choices. With the 2-3 being added we'll be at what 18 jobs so far? I got to keep better count on how many jobs are in the game

[Rai]

Re: New expansion info, new job revealed!

I think there will be 4 new jobs. I know seems like 1 too many but for some reason I think 4.

Blue Mage, Corsair, Geomancer, Puppeteer

I made up Puppeteer. I don't think Necromancer will happen, I could be wrong but it seems like a villainous concept to me. Creepy and evil to raise the dead to do your bidding. But using the same sort of magic to animate a puppet seems acceptable to me.

[Darkhound]

Re: New expansion info, new job revealed!

Well, if you look at SE ffxi officila website, go into the new jobs section, and you will see that there is room for 1 more job in the center, to the left we find the blue mage, and to the right we find the corsair. Leaving a place for the third and final job

[Rai]

Re: New expansion info, new job revealed!

looks to me you can easily fit 2 in the space they have there




Ah now I see. Me I would not space out 3 evenly across the page I would leave wider margins in the sides but SE might go with even spacing.

Re: New expansion info, new job revealed!

[Darkhound]
