New Classes Discovered

[levish]

i wonder if they're slated for the first expansion or for release in beta o_O

Or they'll come with the normal version updates... like they've said before.

[Uzor]

exist is dats onry? or what lol, seems silly to say these jobs are there if its a dat only thing, theres like 5 million non player used dats in ffxi, would only be foolish to think all these were for us if thats the case.
in which case the title of the thread should add that its speculative.

SE themselves already said they would add more classes, I don't think its far fetched to believe these are classes that will exist on release... Do you seriously think they'd introduce all classes in an alpha build, when SE themselves said you'd have access to 10% of the game.

I mean, seriously, why would they include classes in the alpha .dat that they didn't plan on including in the original release? If it was armor, magic, monster design, armor design or area names, sure, I'd agree with you, but I highly doubt they would include classes in the .dat that they didn't plan on adding.

[Makwa]

Well damn. I may have to become a Swashbuckling Makwateer after all. Swing from the rafters and strike a pose, then shoot the bad guys!

[Eklm]

Since someone posted it on /v/ and everyone treats it with a grain of salt..

I didn't sort it out this time, I'll let you all do that on your own to remove my personal speculations from the mix.

I know its not on the same topic, but hmm.......

[Lucavi]

Did you miss the part where there are rapiers listed in the dats there and no katanas?

I believe I did, and thus, stand corrected.

Bring on the fancy Ogre Battle pre-thrust rapier animations!

[Kyrra]

zeu: What are you using to read the .dat files?

[Uzor]

i wonder if they're slated for the first expansion or for release in beta o_O

Why would it only be beta or expansion? Its more lkiely they'll be in the game come retail.

Also, Cairthenn, where did you get the weapons each class use? I Can't find a "Mystic weapon" and "Arcanist Weapon". I'd think it would be something like this:

PGL = Pugilist (Hand-To-Hand)
GLA = Gladiator (Sword + Shield)
EXC = Marauder (Two-Handed Axe, Two-Handed Sword)
FNC = Fencer (Rapier + off-hand rapier?)
ENF = Enforcer (Truncheon, two-handed shield)
ARC = Archer (Bow)
LNC = Lancer (Polearm)
MSK = Musketeer (Gun)
MYS = Mystic (Signi, Club?)
THM = Thaumaturge (Staff, Scepter)
CON = Conjurer (Rod, Wand)
ACN = Arcanist (Cane, Crozier)
WDK = Woodworker (Harvester's Tools)
BSM = Blacksmith (Blacksmith's Tools)
ARM = Armorer (Armorer's Tools)
GLD = Goldsmith (Goldsmith's Tools)
WVR = Weaver (Weaver's Tools)
ALC = Alchemist (Alchemist's Tools)
CUL = Culinarian (Culinarian's Tools)
HRV = Harvester (Harvester's Tools)
FSH = Fisher (Fisherman's Tools)
SHP = Shepherd (Shepherding Equipment)
MIN = Miner (Miner's Equipment)
TAN = Tanner (Tanner's Equipment)

Reason I left Two-Handed Shield with Enforcer is because I see it more as a policeman - who uses a Truncheon (a sort of baton), and a two-handed shield during riots. Two-Handed Sword would fit well as a Marauder secondary weapon, as I can't see it fitting anywhere else. I could potentially see Club as a Mystic secondary weapon (that's what Templars used in FFT, which is a variation of Mystic), no idea where Precious Sword would fit in.

Also, did you notice the .dat had inner-head andinner-hand as equippable armor? Perhaps that's where the NPC masks come from. inner head, head, inner-body, body, inner-leg, leg is all in the .dat, but in the Alpha, inner-head andinner-hand seem to be missing. imo inner-feet would make more sense than inner-hands though...

[Purrrfect]

Maybe 2h shields could work like, a smallish almost buckler type shield on each arm that could be used independently for stuff like bashing, but you could sort of lock them together (imagine making an O with your arms, like a hug) and it could act as one shield.

[Spira]

I know its not on the same topic, but hmm.......

I think the map 'Sailor's Ward' seems to hint at this somehow.

XIV may not have moghouses from the start but I think you will eventually get the ability to stay in a house or a hostel room or some kind of room of sorts..
Especially since they're making use of instances now.

on topic tho...

its a pity most of these confirmed classes may not see the light of day until 2011++. At least we know whats coming tho.

What I have is merely the classification of weapon that the class uses, or what you'd see skill up.

[Heoki]

I actually prefer they release content slowly. I just want to play lol. {Invite to Join Party} {Can I have it?}

[Chun Liroy]

How long before SE takes this down?

[Lucavi]

I'm sure it'll be NDAed by page 5.

[vrumpt]

I actually prefer they release content slowly. I just want to play lol. {Invite to Join Party} {Can I have it?}

at this point like 90% of what is going to ever be in the beta is already known. Only thing we don't know about are things like the search function and linkshell system that aren't in the alpha.

Maybe. I could believe that, but you never know. They could surprised you. I'm just going to keep following this until release. I'm very excited.

[Hyan]

Most of the storyline content is also absent. We've also only seen the very basic guiildleves in action.

I'd say we've only seen 50% of the content in beta at best.

When it comes to mechanics, I don't think we've seen any group vs group action at all, nor guildleves that focus on this factor of the gameplay. Battle regimens? The testers may have tried them but they haven't told us at least.

[Spira]

Its true there isn't much mystery left to the game given that so much has been datamined sooo quickly. But therein lies the problem with data on PCs, and with betas..

as for the storyline, its hard to tell what actually is the storyline atm.
Haven't really gotten down to those but I'm guessing Treasures of the Main would be the first of those, since it starts off with the game..
not entirely sure tho...

[Uzor]

Another question Cair, where's the MAN that was found in the .dat a while ago? And also, how do you know Exc is a mistranslation of Marauder?

[vrumpt]

personally id rather not spoil the story for myself, so if story content ever gets released id hope people would spoiler that. The only story related content i want to know about is how boss fights work, because i am hoping they bring back BC fights from ffxi.
