PICTOMANCER is coming to FFXIV! Fanfest is in a few days from now and my prediction for the next caster job is that it WILL BE PICTOMANCER. It will be a magical ranged DPS job revolving around supporting the team with buffs and debuffs and it’s primary core mechanic will be a primary color combo mechanic combining colors such as red and blue into violet or blue and yellow into green! LETS TALK PICTOMANCER!
If I am wrong I’ll be STUNNED. Everything is pointing towards its name and theme being pictomancer. Everything I said in the green mage video applies still with it named pictomancer and it revolving around color combos!

SUMMONER WAS TAKEN AWAY FROM ME! I want my highly technical magical ranged DPS! GIVE ME IT! XD I'm 100% convinced it's pictomancer! Hold me to it! It WILL be pictomancer! If it's not I will be GENUINELY SHOCKED!!!!!!
Pictomancer appeared in FFVI long before Bravely Default. Also, with the comment on Krile getting a makeover, it seems unlikely that she will class change to pictomancer as we already have an artist in the Scions, and he recently changed jobs to sage.
I think Yoshi P was a genius and spoiled ALL 3 classes (melee, caster & limited) with his shirt (TNMT). Leonardo is a dual wielding, green turtle named after a painter. Green Mage will be the new caster, Pictomancer will be the limited job. (Lets see how this comment ages haha)

My problem with your evidence in this video
1. "This is too clear" doesn't mean it's wrong. Some things are obvious because they are correct. Saying something is wrong because it's obvious is generally just being a contrarian for contrarianism's sake.
2. The Ink Mages in Shadowbringers use a combination of Scholar and Astrologian spells. They don't use anything unique to themselves.
3. Emotes aren't really evidence of anything. I mean come on, the art team doesn't design the jobs, they just animate them.
4. Also the paint wheel books were winners from the recent weapon design contests…
5. The t-shirt hint of "The turtles all have the names of famous artists" is as much evidence for green mage because "the turtles are green."
6. The "Theme of color and artistry" … is a trait within the scions specific to Alphinaud. He's been shown to be an artist since at least Stormblood, maybe earlier, but I don't remember anything sooner. The new caster job is expected to be an new job for Krile, someone who's never been shown to be artistic.
7. As far as the support debuffer theory. I agree it's possible, but that fits green mage way better, since that is literally what green mage is, a debuffer.
8. The pictomancer in FF6, the only place I know of that a pictomancer exists currently within the whole of the Final Fantasy series, draws portaits of their opponent to use their opponent's attacks against them. That description alone makes it more suited to a limited job then a main job.
9. Zidane uses the same weapon as Viper is going to. That said, the question of "has Viper appeared in other final fantasy games" is kind of irrelevant. We've known since at least Shadowbringers that FFXIV wants to add jobs unique to the series in FFXIV. So Viper being unique means nothing.
In short, your evidence seems to be stretching things on the premise that "Green Mage is too obvious".
Well iirc Krile early on mentions how great Alphinaud is at drawing but not how she does it too. So would you say she might get some Lessons from her old Friend? Then getting all frustrated with her terrible Teacher, run off and slap on a Job Crystal to skip all the work, giving Alisaie another thing to mock her brother over?
funnily enough i imagined summoner becoming a combo mage in dawntrail about interweaving Ruin and Gem spells and finishing with a pet attack in bayonetta 3 style.
The moment you said "combing the 3 colors" I immediately thought, I want pictomancer now. And these are all great evidence too. But I think it'll be a combination of pictomancer and green mage at least. Green mage has evidence in the form of the emblem at the end of the 6.5 patch quests, and the fact that the next expansion is in the new world, a very foliage dense area. But (because I want pictomancer a lot) you can also interpret that slightly differently. The emblem was a 3 leaf clover, and there are 3 primary colors. That's probably more that other people can find, but this is enough for me to think that it'll be a combination of green mage and pictomancer. Either way, I just want a more technical caster dps.
Hwei thumbnail…
Considering Reaper was a job we got a long time ago hinted by Edda from the POTD… I mean who would have thought we became the very thing we went to slay on that palace… so i think this points are valid
Ever since Reaper's introduction, Yoshi p said they wanted to be more unpredictable with new jobs…….so yeah, new job is gonna be Witch-Doctor 🎉
HEAR ME OUT!!! ( ﾟДﾟ):
(TL;DR/ summary at the bottom)
• Yoshi P T-shirt is a CRAZY brilliant misdirect. It's not about the names. It's about the OOZE!…or rather, *potion*!
• Instead of pictomancers with paint, it's Witch-Doctors with potions! Basically, do everything said in the video
•The animation esthetic: uses wand to charm, manipulate, and mix different potions in the air to create and cast spells
•Witch-Doctor kinda fits in really with expansion. The Mamool Ja literally practice Voodoo esk magic. It would be interesting to see what they could do with that as a foundation for the job's background.
•Just like with Viper, who would guess "Witch-Doctor" 😂
I'd like this more than green mage personally. If you're gonna step on the white mage's nature identity, at least give us geomancer not green mage. I still think it's gonna be green mage though.
If ff14 just made a class based on Hwei from league, I’d play it.
A pictomancer? what we suppose to do slap the bad guys with the paintbrush bristles 😂😂 or poke them a zillion times with a pencil/pen 🤣🤣. But seriously though jokes aside this sounds like a limited job class to me
Imagine getting
anotherlow dps caster with utility 🪦could also look at it another way. Yoshi's shirt could be hinting at 3 classes. the first hint is that 3 of the 4 turtles are dual wielding (viper), one turtle is using a bo staff and all turtles are green of course so (green magic caster that potentially uses melee to charge a burst mode for magic casting), and the turtles names could hint at a limited class(pictomancer). also look as the stockings of the mystery npc in 6.5, they have the same shamrock symbol as the earing krile found hinting that a green magic main class
you make a convincing argument, but if this is the case at all, i'd argue it's the opposite. it may be called green mage but have more of a pictomancer playstyle. kinda how you said sage was.
Wish those ink mages had something different from books, would've really helped a bit more
Pictomancer is the new Limited Job & Green Mage/Geomancer is the new Caster Job!
While the mechanics might be different but pictomancer wouldn't that be somewhat similar to Realm in FF6?
maybe the next limited job, but green mage is 100% the mage dps bro. all ur "evidence" is actual cope 😂😂
I'm on board with pictomancer. But I think it will be the limited job. It's FF execution as relm is too close to blu, seems fitting
