Though yet to confirm their official English names. :p




they seem to be Bard, Archer, Monk, and Paladin types.
(Well yes Archer was mentioned when "Gladiator" was first revealed. but this is the first time we see a visual representation
of the Job.)

Feel free to speculate on their names and abilities.

Weapons = Job it seems, therefore that combined with the white-like gear the 4th is wearing, is why I have a theory the
4th one shown may be a PLD/Holy Knight type. Well it might be a DRK based on the type of weapon it's wielding, but Paladins have been shown to wield many things besides swords and shields. so looks like they'll be using a Great Axe this time. Unless it's some other type of job.

Some have a theory it's a Berserker job. but the clothes seem too dignified to be something like a Berserker. Maybe it's a type of Knight job.

Though we have yet to see what Job will get to wield a Great Sword, as well as what Job will wield a Scythe. if those weapons are in FFXIV I would guess something like a Holy Knight and Shadow Knight would wield those.

Anyways back to the first one: there's no proof it's a BRD-type. It might be a gambler or something Fighter-like.

But my 20 Jobs speculation is based on now the fact that the Fighter class has 5 Jobs under it's belt now
(GLA,???, ARC,MNK,???)


so if Sorceror, Harvester and Crafter get 5 Jobs each as well. that would total at least 20 Jobs at launch.

The first one isn't even holding a weapon, and is wearing white just like the last one.

White armor doesn't necessarily imply PLD, especially when they're trying to avoid porting the classic FF spin on the job into XIV. PLDs have never used axes or great axes in any Square game either.

It may simply be the Heavy Weapons Guy counterpart to the sword-and-shield fighter.

the clothes are still different. maybe they attack using cards/darts, like Setzer?

[Pwnagraphic]

Swizzle. They look sweet.

I find that highly unlikely.

It's been a while since I've played Final Fantasy IV, but wasn't Cecil able to use axes? I'm pretty sure they were available in the game, probably sold in the dwarven underworld castle.

[Armando]

Could he? FFIV never held my attention for very long.

Either way it seems silly to start drawing parallels to pre-existing FF jobs and twice as silly to do so based on the color of the armor, which for all we know may be totally variable and there's still no confirmation that you can't affect your appearance.

A Lv.50 FFXI WAR can look like a PLD by equipping Iron Musketeer gear. That doesn't make him a PLD.

[Takelli]

Hmmm...

First 1 may be light arms specilist.

2nd on ranged arms specilist (Rng)

3rd one Martial Artist (Mnk with more abilities Pl0x! ;>.>)

4th one Heavy weapons specilist?

Just my guesses.

[Gyotsha]

The first one looks like the earlier picture of the harvester.

Cecil and Kain both. I thought it was ridiculous for Kain to jump with an axe, but they were so much stronger than any other weapons you could get at the time.

Hmmm... If there is a bard type, wont it be in the desciples of magic, not melee? Bards don't have that good of a def, and offensive abilities. They might in FFXIV though. Just my 2 cents.

[Gyotsha]

Thief type? Maybe the weapon is just hidden

[Ziero]

All I see is an unarmed person, a bow wielder, a claw user and an axe user. Not one thing about jobs at all.

And if "Gladiator" is anything to go by, most of the abilities will be based around the weapon itself. So it's not jobs so much as they're weapon specialists.

P.S. Sword users get provoke.
