  1. I'm leaning towards a Witcher type class because he moves like geralt circling mamoja and witchers are scouts too plus he resembles geralt lastly that scar and man bun

  2. I think it'll be Fusilier and Pictomancer. Fusilier were referenced by name in the field notes in Bozja 22. I think it'll play exactly as Corsair, however, keeping with the Garlean name for the class. They used slender swords and short barreled guns in their off-hand.

  3. personally i think the weapons in the hands you drew would be swapped around – his left hand (the opposite side from the camera) looks like it could be resting on an invisible sword hilt, and his right hand (the one closer to the camera) looks like its grasped around something with the pointer finger extended slightly more than the others, which honestly looks a lot like its holding the grip of a gun of some kind with the pointer finger on the trigger and the barrel pointed downwards towards the floor

  4. The shirt could reference geomancer ss the turtles could be a reference to the Kojin from Stormsblood whom one of the eldest is named Genbu who is a geomancer and there is a tie in quest call " Tortoise in Time".

  5. Beast Master in ff xi was a pet job. You tamed a beast to fight alongside you, got it to fight for you. I think you would have to occasionally re-tame it Specialised in axes IIRC.. Just to give you context for your final theory. So they could adapt it to be more like Ranger or whatever it is, in WoW. Just a pet class. Would be great if you could tame any beast style mob in the wild to fight along side you.

  6. for my part in this, I think, like a lot of people, that we're getting a sword and gun class that uses scouting gear but whether that gets called corsair or swashbuckler or fusilier (my favorite pick, because i want a dalmasca themed job in the game for story reasons) is still up in there air

    But I'm not really sold on Pictomancer. Sure you can compare Krile and Relm, bring up that the new world is the source of Blue Magic type copycats on Eitherys and suggest that maybe the southern half of the place has a different way of doing things than the whalaqee, but I'm not really sure if it feels right, either for Krile, the game, or the lore. It could happen, but I don't see it having an edge over other ideas for magic jobs *yet*. We should still be thinking of magic that fits conceptually with the new world, its rare for us to go somewhere and not find a job from that locale (pretty much just the 1st, 13th and dalmasca at this point). I feel like YoshiP's statements about how they live in harmony with nature might be leading somewhere, but not sure where.

    and I'm 99% trolling about beastmaster, we're probably not getting that until they have duty support on every bit of casual content in this game.
