Time Mage

[Fayth-]

seriously doubt they will be adding any job that is not a classic ff job or combined (cosair) from 2 old existing ff jobs. SE said jobs will always remain true to the game when it was released.

Dunno where ppl getting necromancer from

Doesn't seem that unreasonable to me. A few mobs have "Necromancer" in the name and the idea of necromancy is mentioned in quests.

[Chumbelina]

Also, time mages were the ones with turbans right?

No Silly! Time Mages wore triangle hats with giant stars on them, purple robes too. I wish I had a hat like that ;-;

A guy in the mannequin quests, or one of the following quests, has the job Necromancer.

Though I doubt they would go beyond anything from FF5 or FF6 when it comes to jobs, but that is a basis for a rumor.

Time Mage Proposal

Time Mage, a magic caster who specializes in the magic involving time, space, the moon and the stars. This sorcerer toys with
the laws of the universe. A time mage uses their abilities harnessed from the moon and stars and changes the spectrum for
fighting entirely. The nature of battles invariably places a premium on speed. Thus, a Time Mage's abilities could very well
determine the outcome of a contest between two evenly matched foes. Magic such as "Haste" which increases attack speed and
spell recast time and "Quick" which allows the next spell to go with no casting time offer a clear advantage, and the spells
such as "Slow," "Stop," and "Bind" debilitate the enemy. The Time Mage is a strong supporting job. They don't have very good
defense or attack power to fight alone but they do resourcefully change the difference between themselves and the enemy.

II. The Final Fantasy XI Time Mage

Now that we know where we’ve been let’s get back to Time Mage for FFXI. The job has obviously evolved to where it left certain
spells like Sleep and Regen to other jobs and gained newer spells and new abilities. My vision of Time Mage is for it to have a
great deal to deal with FFXI’s time style. Which just because it is open real time battles doesn’t mean it doesn’t fit. The
constellations, the day, the time of day should all come into play with the Time Mage job.

Highly Debatable Spells To Be Explained
Here I will go into deep detail about certain spells which have been seen as impossible to fit into FFXI, seemingly overpowered spells, etc.

Demi & Quarter
Demi and Quarter in the past Final Fantasy games in the series, basically delivered damage in a percentage of the monsters current HP. Demi
doing 50% and Quarter doing 25%. What I hope would be accepted into FFXI is a new spin on Demi and Quarter since the former is a little too
overpowered for Final Fantasy XI's playing style.

Demi and Quarter deal damage that ignores all defense by a mathematical equation reminscent of the sword weaponskill "Spirits Within".
Demi/Demiga (Temporal Magic Skill / 50% = Damage Dealt)
Demi II (Temporal Magic Skill x2 / 50% = Damage Dealt)
Demi III (Temporal Magic Skill x3 / 50% = Damage Dealt)
Quarter/Quarterga (Temporal Magic Skill / 25% = Damage Dealt)
Quarter II (Temporal Magic Skill x2 / 25% = Damage Dealt)
Quarter III (Temporal Magic Skill x3 / 25% = Damage Dealt)
The moon phase changes the equation a bit. New Moon -50 damage, Waxing and Waning Crescent -25 damage, Waxing and Waning Gibbeous no damage
change, Full Moon +25 damage.

With a calculator this doesn't add up to much. Demi III with capped Temporal Magic Skill and Full Moon would do about 462 damage. Not too
strong but useful because it ignores defense and does the same damage time and time again. Repeated use of Demi and Quarter builds up strong
resistance and instead of lowering the damage of the spell will resist completely.

Disable
"Why doesn't RDM have this?" "What does this have to do with time?" Time Mages not only work with Time but also space and dimension. I
figured Time Mage needed something to counterbalance Dispel/Finale. A Time Mage will not be able to remove buffs innately, thus I didn't
want to make another dispel type ability but rather a random disable of one move. It can't be stacked with another Time Mage's Disable and
it's purely random unless you catch him mid cast which is easier said than done.

Haste II & Slow II
I know Haste II and Slow II seem like the most overpowered spells you can think of. Haste and Slow II of course won't stack with their
prior version but will overwrite them. They are for a lack of better descriptions like Haste and first March or Slow and first elegy. Yes
they would stack with March/Elegy. The main argument. NIN TIM BRD. Ultimate Trio? No, nice yes, unstoppable no. I can't argue that Haste II
and Double March with a mob having Slow II and Elegy on wouldn't be nice. It's very borderline but not game breaking.

Stop & Stop II
Temporarily immobilizes a target from any actions, no TP gain from the monster from attacks and all DoT's stop doing damage but ones with
side-effects (i.e. Dia's ability to lower defense) will stay active. All hate from any actions while the mob is stopped is transferred to
the Time Mage. Resist rate from constant casting is much higher than any other enfeeble and lengthy cast time seem to balance this spell.
The main purpose I sought in it was to handle a link that has a DoT on it but it can be used resourcefully I'm sure in different ways.

Quick
I'm not sure what anyone would have against this spell but I chose to explain it more deeply anyway. The spell gives a party member a buff
that will allow the next spell to go off with no casting time. This might be used to help a BLM magic burst an AM or high level ga spell
easier, A WHM cast Raise faster so they can rest for another Raise or help a SMN recast an avatar without problems.

Speed
Giving a buff that gives you Fast Cast is subject for debate but it's already available to all jobs through subjob and it's a buff and
doesn't stay around forever. This would be a situational spell for the most part.

Anew
This I would say it the most highly questionable spell in Time Mage's arsenal. A spell to reset the hate on a monster. Much like (to avoid a
spoiler, I'll phrase it as) a certain Zilart Mission 8's boss ability. Using this after Stop *COULD* save a Time Mage's life after some
devastating skillchain and MB but is a double-edged sword because it completely resets hate. Communication and teamwork is key to making this
work properly.

Draw In
I know there's places SE just doesn't want you to instantly appear at the finish line and certain areas to avoid cheating. I wanted to avoid
making this a lower level spell to avoid people not learning the geography of Vana'diel and just the game in general. This should be a high
level spell where it's more about convienience since you've seen, died and snuck around these places a million times. Certain areas like
Hall of the Gods, Draw In wouldn't be able to cast.

Float
I see Time Mage as a master of speed in many ways including being able to do a movement increase spell. Sure it's one of THF's defining
abilities but it's not as fast as flee, it can't be subbed and it's not AoE like Marzuka.

Doomsday and Meteor
There's a lot of debate about this spell being in a Black Mage's hands. Black Mage already has enough spells for damage already. This has
much to do with Time Mage as Meteor is one of it's signature spells. Time Mage's aren't Black Mage's nor top damage dealers but just like Red
Mages and White Mages have spells to defend themselves, Time Mage needs a few as well. Doomsday is kinda a situational spell as it will hit
allies as well. It seems stupid but in exchange for massive damage, in certain situations where it can be afforded it can be used. It sounds
like Dark Knight but there are more other jobs that exchange something for another. Defender, Berserk, Convert, Aggressor, Spirit Link, etc.

III. Time Mage Job Quest

Prerequisites: Tavnazian Safehold Access, Level 50+

The quest begins in the Tavnazian Safehold with a tarutaru NPC named Jatan-Moratan sitting in the tarutaru rest position.

Jatan-Moratan looks worried.
Jatan-Moratan looks up at you.
Jatan-Moratan: ~!
Jatan-Moratan jumps up and does the panic motion.
Jatan-Moratan: You know it's really not very polite to stare at someone while they are thinking! I'm trying to concentrate here!
Jatan-Moratan pauses and walks around you, the camera pans at a high angle to show this.
Jatan-Moratan: Wait... I've never seen you around here before. The armor... you must be an adventurer from the mainland!
Jatan-Moratan: This is perfect, I'm in a crisis and I could definetely use your help. Do you think you could you help me?
Help Jatan-Moratan?
Sure.
No thanks.
(When your agree)
Your character nods.
Jatan-Moratan: Thank you! Thank you! I've been pondering what to do for 3 days. The problem lies in a mistake I made not long ago.
Jatan-Moratan: I've practiced magic since I was a little taru-waru but I never really liked all of white or black magic, just the ones that
alter-walter time. Speeding up time and slowing it down, that was the magic that interested me. I hoped one day I could become strong
enough to change the tragedies of the battle that left it's scar on our land here.
Fades off to a flashback of Jatan-Moratan sitting on the coast of Lufaise Meadows using a telescope.
Jatan-Moratan: I improved and studied the stars and the moon's powers and it's effects. I wanted to learn how to further magic and created
forms of spells and curses that harnessed it's power.
Ends flashback and camera goes back to your character and Jatan-Moratan.
Jatan-Moratan: Do you know of those strange vortexes in Lufaise Meadows and Misareaux Coast? Lately a lot of them and spacial distortions have
been appearing all around Tavnazia as of late. I've been studying them in hopes to replicate them on a larger scale and create a gate to the
past!
Jatan-Moratan: There in lies my predicataru~ment. During my last experiment I gathered some faded crystals and with some clever magic, absorbed
part of the power in the main stars to them.
Jatan-Moratan: With those I opened a portal. After not too long I see something come through the portal. It was
almost like looking in a mirror! He looked a lot like me. Just then, the crystal portal became unstable and sent the crystals shooting off into
seperate directions. Sigh... it took me almost a year to make those.
Jatan-Moratan: My look-a-like got furious. Thankfully I used my magic to escape with this one. I'll give it to you in hopes you can find the
other ones. I know Windurst must know something that can help us. They know much about the stars. Here please take this and help me find the
other crystals and to find out the mystery behind my doppelganger.

Your character obtains Gordius. -Key Item-
Crystal imbued with the light of the Gordius, the main star of Alexander.

Once you go to Heaven's Tower and speak with Aeshushu.
Aeshushu: Hello there! What can I help you with?
Fades to black.
Your character tells Aeshushu about Jatan-Moratan's problem.
Aeshushu: Oh my! Oh my! Why would he do such a thing!? The stars are very fragile. When used together it must have been what seperated them.
He has a pure reason to accomplish what he wanted but he won't be able to do it. The past is the past. He'll have to learn that someday.
Aeshushu: Well if you still want to find them it shouldn't be too hard. If they are tiny fragments of the stars then they should have went
in their respective directions seeking out the star. It should react when another one is nearby.
Brings up the constellation map.
Aeshushu: Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. That's all I can think of. Good luck and tell that taru to stop looking for trouble before it
comes to him.

After you talk to Aeshushu. You have to go find the 7 other main stars which went in different areas in which their constellation is in.
When you enter the area at night, Gordius will react and you will get a message saying Gordius begins to glow, there must be one of them
here.

Vuychap - Quicksand Caves
Examine ??? for Vuychap. -Key Item-
Crystal imbued with the wind of Vuychap, the main star of Garuda.

Daemdalus - Oldton Movalpolis
Bugbear NM fight. When you examine the ???, it will spawn Bugkeeper (Bugbear NM). Like all bugbears it's a Monk type and it uses regular
specials such as "Heavy Whisk" (single target knockback attack) and "Hydraulic Press" (AoE attack) High HP and around level 50. Will use
Perfect Dodge at some point during the battle. After the battle it drops various normal bugbear drops and Daemdalus.
Daemdalus -Key Item-
Crystal imbued with the soil of Daemdalus, the main star of Titan.

Olduurn - Sea Serpent Grotto
Talk to ??? in Norg for Olduurn. -Key Item-
Crystal imbued with the lightning of Olduurn, the main star of Ramuh.

Veydal - Bibiki Bay (Purgonorgo Isle)
Examine ??? for Veydal. -Key Item-
Crystal imbued with the water of Veydal, the main star of Leviathan.

Falbub - Behemoth's Dominion
Examine ??? for Falbub. -Key Item-
Crystal imbued with the fire of Falbub, the main star of Ifrit.

Aeomatra - Cape Terrigan
Examine ??? for Aeomatra. -Key Item-
Crystal imbued with the ice of Aeomatra, the main star of Shiva.

Sleipnir - Pso'Xja
Mimic NM fight. When you examine the ???, it will spawn Morbid Chest (Mimic NM). It's a Dark Knight type and it will use spells like Stun,
Poisonga II, Bio III, Absorb-Spells, Drain & Aspir. Also at some point in the battle it will use Blood Weapon. After the battle it drops dark
crystals. You have to re-examine the ??? for a cutscene.
Fades into cutscene. You see a shining black crystal on the floor. You walk to pick it up and Jatan-Moratan's doppelganger shows up.
He uses magic to knock you out. Screen blacks out and fades back in. You get back up and do the using item animation.
Looks like he took all the crystals.

After the cutscene you go back to Jatan-Moratan.
Jatan-Moratan: So how did it go?
Jatan-Moratan: What!? That pesk-wesky taru! What is he planning to do with those!? Maybe he's trying to open the gate again? Hmmmmm...
Jatan-Moratan: I hate to keep asking you for help. Could you check Misareaux Coast where I did my experiment in. There's still some burnt
markings from the experiment you'll know it when you see it. When you approach the Burnt Markings at (?-?) in Misareaux Coast. Anyone at this
stage of the quest can spawn the NM. It's an uncapped battle and has the same thing as Ballista or Garrison. You won't be able to outside heal
anyone. The battle allows only 6 people at a time.

Doppelganger Jatan
Level 58
He always starts off immediately using Hundred Fists. He doesn't hit hard so it's not much of a problem. He will randomly throughtout the
battle teleport around the area. Near death he will instantly gain TP to use Sleipnir.

Spells
Slow II, Stop II, Comet III, Reflect II, Bindga, Graviga, Quick, Shift, Old
TP Moves
Aeomatra - Medium range AoE attack. Deals ice damage and adds paralyze and disease.
Olduurn - Medium range AoE attack. Deals lightning damage and knockback stun effect.
Falbub - Frontal cone range attack. Deals heavy fire damage.
Vuychap -
Veydal - Restores HP.
Gordius - Protect/Shell Effect.

Sleipnir - Complete battlefield range AoE Sleep. After 10 seconds he'll randomly teleport and kill someone who is asleep instantly.

After the battle you gain a key item called Sack of Star Crystals.
When you talk to Jatan-Moratan again.

Jatan-Moratan: You stopped him and got back the crystals! I knew I could count on you. I think I went a little too far with my experiments.
Jatan-Moratan: These past few days worrying about whether or not I am doing the right thing. And what damage I could cause in the process.
Jatan-Moratan: I still want to study magic but I think I'm gonna give up this pursuit to change the past. Things happen. We citizens of
Vana'diel live... grow... adapt. Some things as horrible as they were, must happen. I realize that.
Jatan-Moratan: I think you understand this now more than I do. You have some real Time Mage potential in you. Maybe I'll be learning from you
someday if you'll follow that road. Thanks again.
You can now become a Time Mage.

Monster of Reading^^;
Edit: Nice job too~ I like some of the ideas

[Raineer]

Wow....

that write-up is like...really good

SE would never go for it :/ but i think that's a very fair definition of what the job could be. As for time mages making RDM's obsolete, please god let it be true I want to level something else!

[Mrcloudz]

i'v posted this before 2 months but here again, have fun..... Skill up Reading! Gather together!

Even with AF Quests and AF2 names

Time Mage Proposal

(Awesome, awesome proposal)

Words. Lots of them.

But that's really well done @_@ I'd say mail it to SE or something but... yeah, it's SE >.>

I've seen that writeup somewhere before, maybe Alla on one of my few visits?

I know it's familiar, the whole thing is like [almost] verbatim o.O

[Lordwafik]

SE would read it and be like "Woot someones done our work! Let's implement this into the game and ejaculate on naked ladies at the sushi bar now!".

[Anyway]

lol have any of you ever seen those japanese clips of some guy that runs around and ejacualates on random girls? He did it to women on the street, a librarian... and the girls just were like OH MY! and kind of took cover.
