This is greatly off topic, but do you remember the tent items? Wouldn't it be great if you could get a key item or enchanted thing that you could use XX and it hastens your resting?

Anyway, I always thought Shaman would be an interesting job. It would be a healer type, but it would cast spells like NIN. So you'd need to have spell items for cure effects, just something to chew on.

Also, if they add Gambler, the AF needs to be Setzers coat from 6. That would just make my day. Elvaan would look uber snazzy in that long coat/jacket thing. ^^

Erm. sadly i think Blue mage is gonna be the only new job.

I find it unlikely they are going to add another main healer because rdm and smn can heal very well. Even Blm/Whm can heal decent in a bind.

There are 2-3 tank jobs(pld, nin, war), several close melee DD's(Mnk, Drk, Sam, Thf, Drg) and 3-4 ranged DD's (Blm, Smn, Rng, Bst)and 2 great enhabcers (Brd, Rdm)
If they were to add another healer, would it be weaker of stronger than whm? If they were a better healer, whm would never get a party again, if they are a weaker healer, that job will never get a party.

DD's are more versitile cause you can have diff ones and each have their advantages. Unless you are doing a mana/arroe burn party, you just take a few DD's and don't totally organize everything with the DD's.

As for new avatars, i see a dark and a light avatar, thats it. They may add new abilities to the current avatars, which would help greatly. Like giving garuda another attacking ability befire Aero 4, as with shiva.
Something i think should also be adjusted is having an avatar Blood pact should raise summoning skill. Its like doing an ability, its casting a spell, why should it get no skill.

Those are my thoughts.
have fun in the game ^^

Blue Mage will not be the only Job; Tanaka said in the interview is the best proof. Secondly, under the ToA site. it saids "New Jobs".

Traditionally, Beastman inherits the jobs of the player. Lamia is definatley a necromancer. We should get a Necromancer job, i think this will be a Soloable job (it's only function? probably not).

As for other jobs; i think a there maybe anotehr Enchancer because its hard to find RDM and Bard.

As for the summons, Tanaka indirectly stated it was going to be CoP related. Bet your money on Diablo and Bahamut. Bahamut was in every single FF as summonable (hmm maybe not in first 1 or 2) but yah its' a trend; and i think this will continue.

Bahamut was in from 2 up, I also think it would be cool if Necro was introduced. Wonder what the AF qwould look like.

SUMMONER MAKES FOR A HORRID HEALER! just wanted to get that across. sure the rest of the party is fine and dandy but the work a smn has to put in as compared to a whm isnt worth the xp.
If they added a new healer it wouldnt be any better or worse directly than whm is, it would be better in some areas, not so good in other areas, and probably use a different means of healing.
Think about this for a second, if they add a new healer and the new job or our current whm gets no attention at all it would completly go against current tradition, how in the flying f'k do you think there are so many high level DD, because every job is good in its own since, no one is greater than the other. besides you have 3Tanks, 6Melee DD's, 2Enhancers, 3Ranged DD's, and 1HEALER! the job equality in this game is highly messed up adding a new tank, healer, and DD wouldnt level the playing feild but it would help it along a bit.
Also for new summons, everyone hates the idea of new avatars except for smn's because smn is already a powerfull and elite job, >:D FEAR THE REVOLUTION!

I doubt Necromancer will be one of the new Jobs. As a whole, Necromancer is a cliched class throughout fantasy, which I would hope SE would avoid.

I agree on the Necromancer part about SE needing to stay away from it. It's neat and all, but it really dosen't have a place in the Final Fantasy Universe in a whole. U used to play Diablo 2 and still have a horrid taste in my mouth from Necros. Imagen if they allowed Necros to revive fallen creatures and use them as servents... We think there is lag now, let a Necro start reviving things left and right. You'd be in Jeuno all the time as far as lag. That's just my two cents on the Necro topic.

Actually,Ive been hearing one of the new jobs will be completly new,that SE has freshly created.Tetsuya Numora mentioned it(he doesnt have much to do with FFXI,but he still works there so its a reliable source) but he did mention something about this new type job being in The next FF installment(guess its confirmed),he said something like''A few online gamers will get to play the job before too long,and we will go off their reaction''Now,that was probably just somehting they have planned or thinking about but not guaranteed.Hope it is though.

NOW for new avatars. I would hope they would be unique and make a new one.Also,I think they should make Phoenix an item. Attacks enemy and raises nearby KOd players.Bahamut probably wouldnt get added,just dont htink it would. But Odin would be something cool to see added.

One thing I must say though,Im looking foward to the new equipment coming out.Definately my fav thing coming.Unless one of the new jobs is better than DRK.(there are better but not better to me personally)But who knows.Well,hopefully I said some things that pleases some of you :p
