What do you think some future expansion jobs should/could be?

Lord Diablos · 08-15-2003, 11:55 AM

I would want to be a Geomancer I would be God!

Tidane · 08-16-2003, 04:46 PM

Yeah, Geomacer and something to do with Chocobos.
*E-mails Square the Chocobo knight topic*
lol

I want a inventor of some sort **Like off of Star Ocean 2 (Precis).

Shuketsu · 08-17-2003, 11:30 AM

Maybe an advanced black mage class, and an advanced white mage class... something like that. A Chocobo knight would also be a cool idea (although they're way overpowered in the topic >.>)

Hm.. maybe a blacksmith class that's like a toned down warrior, but it has passive abilities that allow it to level up guild skills faster.

Trogdor · 08-17-2003, 02:43 PM

I would like to see the Blue Mage added.

Keftenk · 08-17-2003, 02:46 PM

i doubt any chocobo knight thing would ever be added...final fantasy xi seems to only revolve aruond past ff in jobs, skills, techs, etc...

the only four i could think of that could be added and work to some extent...are..

Blue Mage, Geomancer, Dancer, and Mime

I don't think Drk was in the old ffs. Drk were just kinda known as dragoons. I could be wrong.

A chocobo knight would be kidna cool, but I don't see that as a possibility. But SE always pulls tricks out of their sleeves.

Maxim · 08-17-2003, 05:49 PM

DRKs briefly showed up in FF2 (US). Remember Cecil before he became a PLD?

But anyhow, Square really needs to add more non-frontline job. So far there are only 5 mage-type jobs right now (WHM, BLM, RDM, SMN, BRD), and the other 10 jobs are frontliners. But I don't know, maybe Square has some formula worked out so that this 2:1 ratio is what makes things tick when it comes to forming PTs.

Keftenk · 08-17-2003, 05:50 PM

er?! a Dark Knight known as a Dragoon? ummm...no

Dragoon is known as Dragoon or Lancer

A Dark Knight...
you cant actually BE a Dark Knight, because they are usually the evil bitches that you have to kill...but it is indeed a class in FF's...just not obtainable ~~;

Lavian · 08-18-2003, 06:10 AM

HOLY KNIGHT/~ pwneg!
And don't say "There already is a PLD" :mad: The only similarities between a PLD and HLK is that they are 'holy' classes.
Holy Knight is all offencive, so it would be much more like a DRK then a PLD, so there!!!

Lone Dragon · 08-18-2003, 07:26 AM

Well, Rangers aren't really 'front-liners', though they are still a physical attack job.

zorrah · 08-18-2003, 10:01 AM

Mediator:

2hr ability, Mimic Daravon: Put all monsters in an area (not zone, just a small circumference) to sleep.
1. Look at that: 2 min, resets monster attack delay.
5. Negotiation. Chrage time 5min, talk monster out of their money.
10. Full disengage, when the mediator disengages from a fight, the monster stops attacking him.
20. Free pass. 5 min, charge 20 min. Monsters won't initiate combat.
30. Inspire. Adds 100 temp HP to all party members, these HP are lost last, +2 Str, +5 defend, +5 attack. 2 min, recarge 5 min.
35. Preach. 100 temp MP to all party members, +2 mind, +3 int, 2min, recharge 5 min.
40. Bluff. Deals 40 to all aggressives, plus -4 str, -5 def -5 attack 2 min, recharge 5 min.
45. Disbelief, reduces 50 MP from all aggressives, plus -4 Mind, -5 int, 2 min recharge 5 min.

passive
1. Monster talk.
10. Ignore. Effects of enemy speech and bard abilities reduced.
20. Non- threat, reduces monster aggro towards self.
30. One of us, Greatly reduces monsters aggro towards self.

as are every class ~~; every job CAN BE a physical attack job...hehe...just some arent recommended, haha

oh to the post above...if you havent noticed...some ffxi classes are actually mixes of traits from more then one class. Mediator is basically infused with the Beast Tamer.

I disagree. The Holy Knights of FFT were weaker than regular Knights, with stronger magic and higher HP, MP, and evade. Agrias even starts with medium strength White Magic. That's about as defensive as a fighting job can get in FFT.

Anyway, on topic, I want to see Geomancer, Chemist, Blue Mage (Quistis style, with a whip) and some kind of alternative to Paladin that doesn't need to sub warrior.
