Been hearin rumors bout up to 5 different "hidden" classes in the game. Two of them seem to be DoW: The Musketeer and the Fencer. Seems the Musketeer would be the gun wielder; the Fencer... no clue since swords and daggers are already owned by Gladiator.

Do you think these hidden jobs are "advanced jobs"? What kinda weapon would Fencer use? What would separate a Musketeer from an Archer (ability-wise)?

That's pretty much it there.

not to be rude but randoma, y is every thread u start about "rumors" that you hear, if your hearing stuff, link where u see it and then people can read and discus, but most of what u ask is usually already covered a million times in tons of different threads. just like the one varizen just posted. again, not trying to be rude~

[Randoma]

Because there are no links to people talking offline lol. After I posted, I sniffed around and found an article on Giantbomb.com.

If items were categorized and located in more centralized locations it would be a bit easier to find stuff. I post because I have questions. Isnt that what a forum's purpose is anyway?

i gues, just every rumor u hear seems so random and outlandish i personaly wouldnt post on it lol. but to what u actually asked on here~ i doubt musketeer would b a launch class since they already have 1 ranged class, it took them YEARS to add corsair in on ff11, just wouldnt make sence at all to have 2 ranged classes at launch. secondly i doubt they will have advance classes at launch, again for same reason, no mmo launches with advanced need to unlock classes, thats what xpacs are for. thirdly, a fencer would use a rapier, like fencers do in real life. and 4thly, if u want to see the different abilitys between a archer and musketeer, i would prob just look at the hunter class on wow, hunters can use both guns and bows but only certain abilitys with each. like with the boy they can use volley, but with a gun they can use mulitshot and scatter shot and so on. and lastely, if there are more classes to be announced which i hope and kinda assume they will, id HOPE PRAY TO GOD, that its more casters, since they already have 5 psychical dps and onry 2 caster classes

[Randoma]

Yea Id be really disappointed if Thaumaturge and Conjurer were the only Magic jobs available at launch. The chart in Vari's link (thx for that btw. I saw it months ago and then forgot where it was.) has quite a few classes that I hope make launch on the mage side. I think the released DoWs is enough for starters. I myself am allergic to playin a magic class lol but I know a lot of ppl that whored all mage jobs in XI and would like more than the announced two available so far.

well i think back to ff11 launch, it only had 1 tank, being the warrior, so i doubt they will announce another, but (god its been a long time) i want to say... red mage , white mage, black mage.... then warrior, monk, thief...... ranger? and thats it?!? so i doubt a ton more will b announced, but given 5 DoWs, id hope for atleast 1 more caster

[renzuko]

really why do we need rdm? for the longest time, all rdm was, was a worse version of whm and blm, it didnt even have refresh at launch, which was its good point...

[nahla]

alot of the classes didnt have shit at the start, if i remember correctly rdm didnt have raise at the launch either lol

[Randoma]

Yea starting jobs were the basic jobs: Warrior, Thief, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Red Mage. But even still it was at least 3 melee and 3 magic classes. 5 melee to 2 magic classes is a bit.... unbalanced lol. Granted u have a ranged melee this time and all 7 jobs have more thought put into them than the starting jobs in XI did at launch lol.

Musketeer quest......

[Randoma]

Advanced Job in 2011!!!! /end speculation

[Varizen]

That's Not...the quest for it... It doesn't exist yet... That's a CS for the basic story.

[Kyatharin]

i dunno, was just surfing for ffxiv vids and saw that posted, so just posted it here

Basically, to put that into context, you're trying to get to an island that only the Barracuda Knights can go to, so you try to join up too, but there's only 1 spot left on the team going, but there's a lot of pirates trying to get in due to rumors of treasure, and some unknown guy impresses them and makes it in. Meanwhile, you're motivation for trying to go yourself is in regards to the attack on the boat you were on the night you came to Limsa Lominsa, and the appearance of a mysterious Sea Serpent (most likely Leviathan).

This is the 3rd CS in the game, the 1st being told by the Benchmark.

But yeah. That class is not available yet. I'm going to call NDA though instead of disclosing the class(es) I can confirm that you don't know about. I'll say they're still not available in Beta yet. Just mentioned as guilds by NPCs.
