Rydin's Ultimate FFXIV Job List

All the classes, jobs AND LEGENDS that need to be added...
what abilities they should have...
Even a suggestion as to how the new stuff should be implemented...
Find out all of that and what I call "Legend Classes" in this link
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9-G9GIcJ6eATzRSeF9vOGp4Rmc

Ultimately 10 classes (Including the 7 we have now), 20 Jobs (Including the 7 we have now) and 12 Legend Classes... one for each of the twelve Deities...

I know Classes and Jobs have been talked about Ad Nauseum... To find out what "Legends" are, just jump ahead to page 49 in the document... or use the thumbnails on the side to find your favorite!!!!

I also gave basic info on the existing classes and jobs, just in case someone is new to FFXIV. Went for "comprehensive." For you veterans, the pages on the existing classes will be pointless and skippable.

My favorites would have to be Necromage, Ronin... and I wont spoil the rest... just go check it out

I want to be one of the rare highly dependent High Summoners. I'll make it happen.

I always thought the idea of competing summoners (one light, one dark) was a cool concept... other titles kind of did this (FFIX), but never all the way

Thank you much for this btw. Nice to see a good completion of all the FF series jobs. Really curious as to what we'll for sure see in the future up coming updates after 2.0. What will we get first and what will we get later.

The list he made is his own opinion on what should be put in not what is going to be put in.

/steals

Great list.

I just kinda skimmed though the list, not sure how accurate you are trying to keep the real ones but Archanist is a pet class and will get summoner as it's job. I also noticed some ammo based abilities and in 2.0 you won't have ammo.

Not trying to rain on you ora anything since this is neat just wasn't sure if you knew/cared. XD

@LilSanchez thank you... I put a lot of time into it

@Escorian, yes, it's just my own opinion... I tried to use words like suggestion and whatnot all through the document so people wont think this is whats coming... I say stuff like "I propose..." a lot

@Aelius thanks.... The hardest part, by far, was coming up with all the ability descriptions and names. I'm actually proud that they all fit the classes really well. I wouldn't mind if the only thing to come out of it was some of the abilities were actually put in game

@Ina Yes, you're right... Ammo is gone, In a consumable sense, but I meant it more like a pack slot thing.
I don't know if you've ever seen games with infinite arrows, but in some, you can still change quiver or arrow types. "Two Worlds" uses this.
I was really hoping Yoshi just meant ammo wouldn't be consumed, but you could still change arrow/bullet/bolt types via the pack slot
As far as Arcanist and Summoner... I started the project before he announced them. So I was too deep into the project to change it. Also, I still like the idea I had for Summoner and Arcanist. To be honest, you can't make a long document like this and expect it to become SE's plan... I know thats not how they work. It was really just fun to make, and the what-ifs become fun to discuss
And if some of it actualy comes to pass, or even inspires something the developers implement... I'll be ecstatic

Yoshi-p give a example of GLA being PLD or dark knight and pugilist 2# job could be puppetmaster.

Hoping they add more fun jobs to each class and more class/jobs :)

would you want more than 2 classes per job?

I really hope they add in drk... If they don't i may not stay in the game. Also your list is awesome and i hope they add in better magic for drk to use unlike ffxi. I mean blu had magic/physical spells. why cant drk get physical magic spells too? that play on their strenths

I myself don't like the idea of class having more then one job due to the fact that if the class is max level your job would be max level. So you only get to enjoy the quest/storyline and not level them up yourself from 1-max that the only downside of that idea yoshi-p give.

Yes, I am a big fan of physical magic spells which help foster the idea of truly hybrid roles.


Unfortunately, i was 50 in all battle classes before jobs were really known (Back when there was a thing called "fatigue") so I never got the fun of leveling while on a job, but I think the idea of Legends helps the situation though... Something like a job, but leveled from 1
Also, you already know people are going to gravitate towards whichever job is strongest at the moment. And it seems almost impossible to make 20 different jobs all equally useful... so with Legends, there are definitely "classes/jobs" that are better, but they require some effort to acquire

I did skim over your work... and from what i can tell you want each class. Like archer when your archer is.. 30 or 50 you can either choose the quest for bard or ranger. but i think i would like it to where you can only choose 1... so no 1 person can have all jobs leveled. (unless they have multiple characters of course)

I'm pretty easy going, I wouldn't really mind either way if they made it so you had to choose between one of the two jobs for each class, however, when Yoshi-P mentioned it briefly in an interview a while ago, people raged on the forum like there was no tomorrow
I can see where people are coming from though, mainly because the jobs don't roll out at the same time. So you're already a Black Mage, does that completely exclude you from trying the second job for Thaumaturge when it rolls out?
