Things I'm waiting for:

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

it would be kewl if PS3 launch includes multiple new DoW and DoM classes!

Flayer
Musketeer
Fencer
Samurai
Assassin
and that mystic mage class mentioned

of course chocobos, more story missions and lots more, mew!

I know there's a Musketeer guild in the game so it's quite possible this may be the case. However, I doubt the others will make it, because they are all physical classes and SE already said they may add one or two "magic" classes. If history serves correctly, SE will only add a couple of new classes every expansion, so for PS3 release, it would be a Musketeer class + a magic (or two) Maybe if Yyg is lucky, they'll add in his SMN class (I'm almost certain they will considering that .dat exists in the game) Assassin = Ninja and I rather them NOT put Ninja into the game. If they learned their lesson, they will seek to avoid that headache and try to maintain the current balance (which is actually pretty good atm) between the classes.

SMN!!!!

SMN!!!!

But on a serious note... I agree (as usual) with Aeni on this one. The introduction of more Melee classes would be a stupid move at this point. If musketeer works similar to Corsair, it would offer a support class to a game that already has a very stark line between Magic/Melee. I would like to think of it as a Corsair because the guild is in the port city... and musketeer seems like it would be a pirate.

SMN would be amazing, but as I've learned in the past... skepticism is healthy with squeenix. I doubt that they would complicate an already unfinished game by adding in a pet job this early. They have more basic and less complicated things (bugs) to work out before I would even want to see SMN implimented.

That being said, I'm curious to see what they do add in as the new magic job.

Musketeer (Support)
??? (Magic)

Maybe something along the lines of BLU? They don't have too many monster skills that are well defined enough to introduce BLU just yet.

Maybe RDM? With the combinations available between THAUM and CONJ, it's pretty easy to make a RDM already.... minus the sword.

Perhaps SCH? See: RDM

What about BRD? Doubtful if they make Musketeer the way I hope they're going to. At least not just yet.

I'm not sure what kind of Magic class they could really bring to the table that would be good enough to stand alone without being OP and broken. Time will tell.

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

Probably going to add in the Arcanist and Mystic classes next.

Mystic is similar to WoW's Shaman with totem-esque abilities, while Arcanist uses magic from/with technology.

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

When squeenix adds that as a class.... remember who did you right, k?

Will do... That'll make me start playing FFxiv for sure. Ya think that's a PS3 launch add-in?

No, I think they'd include it with the Wii patch. You're going to need the wiimote for that lightsaber after all. The PS Move is crap and the Kinect is too slow.

Too true, lol

Re: Things I'm waiting for:

This class will also not suffer fatigue. Batman doesn't fatigue.

To J9: Batman is also a Ninja/Assassin.... so there ya go... Christmas came early... now shut up about Assassins and do something useful... like dance a lively jig.

HYPER MEW MODE!!!!!

Assassin = Ninja and I rather them NOT put Ninja into the game. If they learned their lesson, they will seek to avoid that headache and try to maintain the current balance (which is actually pretty good atm) between the classes.

FFXI does not = FFXIV, mew!

Ninja/Assassin would be handled very differently.

For one thing, Assassin uses Dark Arts, which is a magic based style. That doesn't mean it will be shadow blink tank all over again. Assassins wouldn't dual wield either. So why would you think Ninja = automatic unbalanced?


FFXIV is suffering from lacking enough War and Magic classes. There isn't even a class that specializes in DAGGERS or 2-Handed Swords!

It's flooded with crafting jobs that shouldn't even be treated as "classes".
It's only caused the story missions to have less battles and being too easy and boring and made a Final Fantasy more craft based than it should be! What is this? Craft Fantasy XIV?

...the game to be actually fun to play once I finally join (aprox. Feb. 2012.)

They're called Gladiators ... so stop trolling.

As for your comments about crafting being treated as classes, it makes sense. You may not like it, but everyone else seems to think it's logical in the current system of equipping an item to switch off the disciplines.

I hate to say this, but I totally agree with J9 here. Because crafting is a class now, missions are stupidly easy and there's literally no challenge to them what-so-ever. The R46 mission is a cake walk compared to XI's M2-3 dragon fight. -_-

Not only that, but it gives us something besides an excuse for SE to add another melee class. You'll note SE kind of got out of that habit around ToA/WotG and implemented what are honestly hybrid kinds of jobs (though I do so hate that word).

COR, a support class that can melee.
BLU, a melee class that can enfeeble, nuke and heal.
SCH, a mage that can switch specializations.
DNC, a melee that can function competently as a healer and enfeebler.
PUP, a job we invite to fill a slot in Abyssea if no melees are seeking.
