41 thoughts on “rating every job icon in FFXIV out of 10”
You know how sometimes when you play an MMO and you don't have a group of friends to ask questions to you think, "oh no what if I make the wrong class choice, everyone will laugh at me."
I always saw the dragoon icon as a spearhead (you know cause they dive from the sky), but now i cannot unsee a dragon. EDIT: As a SMN Main, I can confirm that I'm always horned up.
Some thoughts while watching as someone else who thinks too much about job icons. – The centre vertical line on the PLD icon represents the sword element of the sword and shield duo. – DRK resembles a greatsword (handle at the top, blade towards the bottom) as well as a person reaching upwards and dispelling magic (figure on the bottom, magic above.) – The curve behind the AST cards also represents the planisphere. – Maybe a reach, but I think the 3 lines in MNK's icon might also represent the 3 forms (opo-opo, raptor, coeurl.) – DRG is both a dragon's head and the sharp end of a lance. – The ball in the RPR icon is meant to symbolise the voidsent avatar and/or a void gate.
I give Ninja 0 out of 10 for making me think it's Dancer every time because the icon looks like chakrams and I'm tired of choosing the wrong job on accident every time.
Rate every sightseeing log view. Alternatively if you don't want to drive yourself mad, Rate every jumping puzzle like the Kugane Tower and the three? in Gold Saucer
Most of the job icons are a reference to the weapons wielded by the job. The only exceptions being SCH, SMN, and BLU, which use armor pieces instead. Though BLU can be seen as a cane and mask combined.
The GNB icon is actually a gunblade seen from straight on. The "slash" in the middle is the blade, while the circle is the cartridge chamber towards the handle
The BLU icon makes me think of the persona series, in particular P5R which is about the "masks" we wear, and rebelling against it (and much more). Behind the mask is a thief's knife, as the main gang of characters are a group known as, "The Phantom Thieves".
I don't know if you take requests, but I think it would be fun if you ranked all of the patch logos/key art, since they always make a unique one each time. You may be wondering why you would want to do this.
I dont play PLD, but its icon incorporates the shield and the sword. The line through the center is the blade of the sword and the way it crosses over the top line of the shield represents the scabbard. I really like the multifaceted look to some of the job icons. Like Viper's representing the two blades of the class, and a pair of snake fangs.

Anyway the only class I've ever played is monk
This is the content I'm here for.
Rate your favorite shop sellers in the game or maybe Shop Names. 😆
scholar is a cat nose

a class icon addendum could be fun!
Monk is robbed/10 because pugilist 👊
I give this video a 10/10. Now do the taverns, all of them.
sch looks like a book or a graduation cap to me the most, but glasses is funny i like that

– The centre vertical line on the PLD icon represents the sword element of the sword and shield duo.
– DRK resembles a greatsword (handle at the top, blade towards the bottom) as well as a person reaching upwards and dispelling magic (figure on the bottom, magic above.)
– The curve behind the AST cards also represents the planisphere.
– Maybe a reach, but I think the 3 lines in MNK's icon might also represent the 3 forms (opo-opo, raptor, coeurl.)
– DRG is both a dragon's head and the sharp end of a lance.
– The ball in the RPR icon is meant to symbolise the voidsent avatar and/or a void gate.

I didn't realize the samurai icon was what it is til you showed the icon, just had never paid attention to it before lol
Great! Now rate every hunt! Or perhaps even every aether current

Now you gotta do the DOL and DOH icons

I was chuckling at the carbuncles all just bobbing and viking while you were talking about summoner horns and sextets
Dragoon is a giraffe because it was invented by Elezen
Scholar is a set of handcuffs or manacles because uhhhhhh
Pld icon made of the shield, sword and a crown.

OCEANS ARE NOW BATTLEFIELDS
DRK quests are all about you and fray performing a christmas miracle ❤

my brine get lags every time i open the market board do to the Gladiator Icon impersonating Viper Icon, because of the two swords thingy xDDDD
6:24 I think if the cat had been named Boat it would not have scratched you. #BoatIsAGoodCatName #BoatForPresident
That’s not a horse or a dragon, that’s a giraffe

Scholar is a book that some MONSTER put face down on the table!

rate crafter and gatherer class icons
I think the GNB one is supposed to be the sights of a gun but with a slash through it, like the last sight a shooter saw was the GNB rushing them.
SCH's is three things at once to me: Glasses, a graduation hat, and a book splayed wide open.
I always took the MNK icon as both anime speed lines and cat claw marks from their coerul stance.
OH MY GOD THE RED MAGE ICON IS THE WHITE MAGE ONE UPSIDE DOWN
I thought the scholar one was supposed to be an opened scroll
I can confirm that as a dancer main, FFXIV lets me go to Destiny Islands whenever I want. Which is more than I can say about Kingdom Hearts itself
Razi you forgot the base jobs like archer and pugilist. Also idk if they count but all the professions have icons too.
I think the circle in the reaper icon is a head getting reaped off 😰
to me the dragoon one looks more like the tip of a spear, but the dragon interpretation is really cool!
Ideas for things to rate: different sleeping animations, bstance/vpose for each class, uhhhh DoH/DoL icons
Why isn't the Summoner's icon a stylized carbuncle? Great video.
Summoner also can be a breath attack from Bahamut – the small point being where it starts, and then expanding into a cone.
What about the icons for the classes, crafters, and gatherers?
