Dancer

[Yuri-G]

Is it bad I'm leveling a job just because it shows my model in the AF?

I didn't think so either.





Btw what do dancers do?

Only if it's bad that I'm leveling the job just for the look of the AF, since I feel cheeky using wardrobe to change anything other than my character model.

Hey, at least they've (seemingly) combined the two lamest jobs in FF history into one, so they don't take the space of two jobs.

Bards in FF were just as lame though until FFXI..

I must be the only one who wants Necromancer >.>

least now we can really dance happily together. I'm just not looking forward to the Dancer animations... or the countless "Evolution of Dance" macros to pop up in the dunes... and lvl 75 (you know who you are)

Maybe this time I can jump on the bandwagon and lvl all the jobs I need out of the dunes when everyone jumps at the chance to lvl Dancer (and hopefully others)

Hero Song + patience + auto-counter enemies who rarely/never attack you otherwise (y helo thar Behemoth) = win. They were also pretty good in FFIII: DS, but that came out after FFXI, and the orignial NES version bards were not quite as stellar.

Bard in FFXI IS lame, and boring as hell to play. (75 brd here btw) I didn't say geodancer would be underpowered(obviously we can't tell), just that it would be dumb/lame/gay/boring.

the af is horrid

But now those people that wear lilac corsage 24/7 can have an excuse! Male characters that long dreamed of wearing one will have their chance. Equality at last.

Judging by the AF chances are males are going to get sombreros.

Made me think of a pic I saw on a facebook group (this is the avatar version):

I remember in one of the interviews SE did about the expansion they did say that they were doing an overhaul on the combat system. This job could be one of the reasons for that.


IDK, I'm grasping at straws here, can't wait to see more info.

You even get to dance like him in a game

You just have to stomach the other dances long enough to get to it.

Easier to just watch the whole thing.

My theory for Dancer:

C or C- Hand-to-Hand skill

Kick Attacks traits every 10 levels.

So what's left? Mime, time mage, ummm some kind of dedicated swordsman maybe? Some kinda hax cross between war and rdm or something...'


Also, Taru dancer named Napoleon ftw.

Juggler! New melee job that has an A+ in throwing, to go along with the new ranged weapon skills I've been wanting them to implement since ToAU was announced.

One can dream... *'-'

I can totally see them crossing that with the swordsman thing and doing an old school ninja that throws your ridill at something when you're not paying attention.

So what's left?

Mime
Time mage
Engineer/gadgeteer (ex: FFVI edgar)
Chemist
Necromancer
Squire/Onion knight

There are also plenty of FF Tactics/Tactics advance specific rehash/renamed jobs that I would not expect to see, like gladiator, gunner, archer, oracle, elementalist, illusionist, templar, defender, etc.

Pretty much all those tactics ones you mentioned are already represented in some way.

There's nothing matching up with a calculator though, but I can't imagine SE having the balls to try that one.

Considering how many players can't spell, I shudder to think of what would become of a math-based job.

Time Mage
Chemist (make Alchemy a worthwhile craft again!)
Necromancer

Mime is just asking to be MPK'd >.>

[Kaziel]

I'm not even sure if Necromancers count. >.> The only FF game I can find them in is FFV, and even then it's only on the GBA version.

How does that apply to any of those other than time mage and mime? The closest thing we have to chemist is like... usable potions and consumables? lol. The closest thing to engineer is.. pup? Not very similar to Edgar's abilities at all. Necromancer is sort of like hybrid smn/blm, but not that close, and SE had already tried to implement it in ToAU. Squire/onion knight are dumb, but we have nothing that similar, unless you want to count warrior because of the number of weapon types it can equip?

Geodancer overlaps a lot more with brd and elemental ninjitsu than those jobs do with anything really.

I'm gonna have to level this job so I can be a pretty pretty princess.
