What would YOU choose for the next new job?Follow

I really want a Dark Knight job. And I'm not aiming at the FFXI type of DRK (basicly warrior with a couple usefull spells), I want the "I'll eat your soul and use it to attack you" Dark Knight.

Can even immagine Dark Knight as a tank job healing itself from drain-type of attacks and brute force to hold hate.

Lots of hype around the ninja job, so it'll eventually make an appearance.

I highly doubt that shadows will come back in this game. At least not like how we knew them in XI. They'd completely break balance and trivialize a lot of defensive stats.

I would want a Magic Sword user like Cid Orlandu, Agrias, Beowullf from tactics. The class version would special in multiple but weaker fields of the magic. Where as the job would specialize in one or two magics but much more powerful.

Honestly if they made Paladin have a few "Holy Sword" abilities similar to Agrias I think I would cream myself O_O Short to Mid range sword WS that dealt holy dmg with an additional effect. Nerdgasm just happened....I think maybe I also "ship my pants" with kmart >_>

Engineer/ Cannoneer might be pretty interesting. COuld be released with chemist and use similar mechanics. Throwing bombs and setting down explosives would be interesting.

It would be a great kiting class idea. from some of the vids of FFXIV I've seen it seems like a lot of people that played archer really liked that concept.

Ahhhh. Very cool. I have never played either of those. But yeah that's exactly what I was thinking

Jayce WUT?! In all seriousness though, this is something that they could probably pull off. With the way some of those relic weapons change looks when you unsheathe them it seems like they could have the capabilities to animate such a weapon.

I would love to have Red Mage

Great animation! Reminds me a lot of the Gunlance from Monster Hunter. Of course we already have a lance in game, so Gunscythe could work well :) Id be tempted to combine it with something else though, so as to leave Scythe strictly for Dark Knights.

I'm hoping for a battle-mage version of Red Mage. When I first started XI and didn't know which way was up I started a Rdm, grabbed a sword, and En-spell/debuffed/off-healed my way through Valkurm. I never got it past 20 because I got distracted by Drg and Smn, but was sad when I heard Red Mages were basically just casting haste. I want that magic enhanced melee class again. Blue Mage would be equally welcome.

I almost always like Samurai classes in FF games. Only class I took to 99 in XI was sam. I second the sentiment expressed earlier that ninja is pretty popular and probably will be added at some point. My main hope is that the tool system from XI does not ever, ever return. I have to agree that shadows probably won't be returning (at least that's my hope). I wouldn't have had such a big problem with blink tanking in XI if it wasn't essentially "throw gil at this mob to tank." And they made PLD not suck (that happened later from my understanding).

I like the engineer idea though, based on Edgar from FFVI. Using crossbows/guns, and maybe a mechanical pet or something. The pet would amuse me, but not really necessary.

I really wouldn't be surprised if we get 1 or 2 new jobs announced at E3. There's now 2 pieces of information out kind of hinting at more jobs being announced. Maybe it's just hinting at more info on scholar/summoner, but something just feels like they are hiding more from us than simple info on already announced jobs. Just a gut feeling; we'll find out for sure in a week!
