  1. I thought I had missed a reveal trailer, but this is honestly a really good guess regardless! Though… the shirt could be a different hint as well. Either way, the fact we got that earring is basically saying we have Green Mage, which sounds exciting!

  2. MSQ: happens to feature an earring with a green clover

    FF players: "GREEN MAGE CONFIRMED BOYS WE GOT 'EM WE GOT THE CLASS FIGURED OUT IT'S GREEN MAGE BECAUSE THE CLOVER IS GREEN AND SO IS GREEN MAGE"

    In reality, this is probably just a coincidence. They've never thrown in hints to what the new classes will be as part of a random thing in the MSQ before. It's more likely that this green clover earring is just something that will play a major role in the 7.0 questline and has little if anything to do with the classes we'll be getting.

    Might be best to change the title to something more befitting what this actually is – a guess. Nothing was revealed other than the fact that there is no straw XIV players won't grasp at in an attempt to convince themselves that they've cracked the code ahead of time.

  3. Green magicks shows up in ff12. Tho u mentioned ivalice. Iirc, it is support magic. Also, I'm hoping for more unique classes. I miss the stormblood iteration of classes

  4. I've been wondering how they might implement Green Mage since the meta seems to be drifting away from DoTs and being a caster dps, the support actions would probably exceed what we normally expect from a non-healer job. I think it could be interesting if they balanced it through damage reflection or something similar, where you do your damage by timing well a protect or shell type spell. But the dots might be problematic, as Arcanist already has two associated jobs and also already owns the traditional poison spell, Bio. I've seen some rumbling around Bard being too support oriented so I hope they can either counter that if not entirely avoid the issue of people hating it if it doesn't have high personal damage output.

  5. I feel like this is a little extreme haha. Yes could that green earing be teasing green mage, do we know it is 100% no. I think green mage is another good guess for the job but until we get furher details at fanfests and the second half of 6.5 msq no one really knows what the job will be besides the devs

  6. I assumed the TMNT shirt was a hint that the new melee job was going to be sharing gear with the NIN. NIN is the only job in the game that uses Scouting right now so it may just be understood, that's what the new melee job is going to use and the TMNT is just a misdirection that way.

  7. But guys, in Endwalker, we go back in time to the unsundered world, and you'll never guess what! There's a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game called Turtles in Time! CLEARLY the entire time travel plot was the secret reveal that the magic DPS in Dawntrail was going to be Time Mage, so Green Mage is already deconfirmed!

    Seriously, this has the same energy as the videos people make about how the Switch 2 has 100% been confirmed and then you click on it and it's just some dude speculating about what Nintendo might do, or the Smash community where people were always completely convinced they knew exactly what the next fighter was going to be, only to be dead wrong every single time.

  8. The answer is not always simple and sometimes requires some leaps in logic. The Spiderman shirt infamously was the clue for Samurai. You had to make the leap to the Spiderman movie trilogy, and then know the director was Sam Rami, which sounds like Samurai.
