They said it is 2 not 3, 20 jobs total is not bad. NO MOAR AFTER THESE!

There was no confirmation as to how many jobs there would be and as long as FFXI runs, there will always be new jobs.

Though interesting news about the light in the sky. Here I thought it to be a meteor, but damn Atomos is certainly an awesome twist.

The new one from TGS is not online yet. The old E3 one is on the Playonline site.

Is this another Beastmaster type job?

Probably not.

I hope it's more of a 'job that can do lots of stuff and charm' then a job that focuses purley on charming monsters.

And something I just sorta realized, outside of RoZ, the Avatars have been the driving force behind the last two expansion's storylines and it seems that the next one may continue that trend.

Shame the expansion doesn't occur during the Crystal War.

Also showcased was the new Dancer job which allows players to charm enemies.

Is this another Beastmaster type job?

What if Dancer's charm extends to Beastmen too? It is still to early to tell at this moment.

Fatuglygalka readies Gyration.
Fatuglygalka uses Gyration.
Monster gains the effect of Disgust and Horror.

The trailer finished with a shot of great, gaping mouth in the sky. It resembled something of a hurricane's eye, yet was bluish-purple with an eye-wall ringed with teeth. Square hinted longtime players should recognize this as a reference to a mythological creature within the FFXI universe.

I'm going to assume this was just IGN's mistake, because Atomos (if that's what it is, and it certainly looks like it; the evidence is about as strong as it was for Odin and Alexander being in ToAU) has never been previously mentioned in the *FFXI* universe, only in the universes of other FF games. Probably SE just said "in the Final Fantasy universe" or something like that, and IGN jumped to the conclusion.

Anyway, the fact that only one more job will be revealed *at a fan event* doesn't prove that there will be only one more job. Of the ToAU jobs, IIRC only PUP was revealed at a fan event. There could still be several more jobs revealed through magazines, or the WotG website, or some other means.

Someone refresh my memory... But what were the original Advanced jobs, and what were the jobs brought in with each expansion?

Off the top of my head:

Original:
WAR MNK THF RDM WHM BLM

Advanced
BRD BST DRK PLD RNG

Zilart
DRG NIN SAM SMN

Treasures
BLU COR PUP

It's not entirely unlikely that SE will release 4 jobs. It was done in RoZ. But that was a long time ago, and game dynamics have changed drastically.

So I'm still just gonna bet on the fact that we'll be seeing 3.

And. Holy shyt, has it been a year since TOAU was released?

NVM just checked. April 18th, 2006.

Where does the time go..

Re: The OFFICIAL "Wings of the Goddess" at TGS 2007 Thread! DANCER AND RELEASE DATE!

Nah, it's always been 3 jobs, SMN was available as an advanced job before Zilart. What Zilart brought was the Avatars since they are obtained in the new regions.

Re: The OFFICIAL "Wings of the Goddess" at TGS 2007 Thread! DANCER AND RELEASE DATE!

Yeah, I was going to mention that. Man, SMN must have been a boring job pre-Zilart.

LoL... Wasn't Carbuncle available, at least?

And who knows? The NA PC version launched with RoZ already as a part of the game.

Re: The OFFICIAL "Wings of the Goddess" at TGS 2007 Thread! DANCER AND RELEASE DATE!

You know, by "charming enemies" I'm pretty sure SE doesn't mean "make them your pet." More like "inflict stuff on the enemy with charming/infatuating dance moves."

'course, I could be wrong, but I believe they've already used the term "charms enemies with..." to describe the Dancer job when as far as I know Dancer has never had the ability to manipulate/control enemies.
