So let's guess! (I don't believe they've announced anything yet, so meh.)

I'm hoping for some sort of Gambler, or maybe a Pictomancer. Although it'll probably be some power-job we have to do a side-quest for. Hm.

*sigh* So many possibilities.

Programmer.

Come on, admit it, there's no shame in it... It'd just be too damned l33t for words.

You'd get to hurl boiling coffee on enemies and assail them with cigarettes while they get confused over ancient archaïc COBOL listings. The ultimate class.

Definately programmer.

Yeah, then you'd be the super-tough optional boss then.

Gamblers are already tied in with Samurai - throwing money at least. I don't know enough about samurai tradition to understand that though. Pictomancers are tied into Trainers.

I think if they were to add any 'new' classes it would probably be something like the calculator. Spend 150JP and you can write "80085"

Well, Gamblers have Slots and Dice.

Alot of people are saying things like Dark Knight and Paladin, which would make sense.

As long as they don't make some hybrid uber-class like Orlandu...><;

I would be so excited to see a programmer job class. I might even throw a party for it

Two of Endless Saga's characters are, technically, programmer classes. But there's nothing outright computer-specific about them - an actual bona-fide programmer class in an RPG wouldn't have much use unless you resort to silly stuff like the examples I posted.

What would be cool would either be sharpshooter (the firearms type, not the bow and arrow type) or mechanic/engineer. Those classes have existed in the past (well... present-past, not FFV-past) in the forms of Mustadio (FFT) and Edgar (FFVI.)

--------------------

"Judge not a man by his thoughts and words, but by

and the likelyhood of him sharing."

Hmmm... Seriously, I'd be hoping for some of the classes mentioned thus far sans programmer ( Cos honestly, what can you do, be mistaken for a serial killer in an internet quiz?)

Mechanic would require a wrench or tools. Engineer would demand a red shirt and the ability to claim you "dinnae hae the pooer".

Sharpshooter... or machine gunner. The last one would be rather nice. WAAAGH DAKKA DAKKA DAKKA. But seriously, so long as it has an AK, it'll make a fairly poor game over 300 times better.


Classes I hope not to see...

Karate Kommando, Pimp, Juggernaut B***h, Happycat, and other bizzare and stupid ones dreived from internet memes that have no point and are unlikely to happen even with the current Squenix trend to being as stupid as hell.

Programmer? Machine gunner? No thanks. Lots of personal preferences bending the rules there.

I also don't think that a Paladin class is likely. I mean, you can already make a Paladin by giving a Knight !White, and even preserve the Knight's physical stats while giving it the magic boost. Why make an entirely new class?

I'm hoping for some kind of engineer class, probably using Edgar-esque tools, explosives, and maybe a few firearms (but not only firearms). I'm really more concerned on where they're going to put it. A new dungeon? Bundled with the Earth Crystal classes?

--------------------

this is a blog mostly about comics and videogames
END SPOILER

I would want engineer to be put into FFV, it would be cool to bust out a chainsaw on some enemies

Hell they could even put in a blackbelt class that would use blitz and I'd be happy

"Have you ever seen a baby do that before?"

They have monks, which are basically karate masters with hand-based attacks. How about Taekwondo martial artists, who'd have kick-based attacks?

But what we really need is...

Salarymen! I can see it now, running around shouting "I'M LATE! SOMEONE FAX A MEMO!!" while bashing enemies with a briefcase and scattering scalding coffee over the battlefield... Damn man, how come it was never thought of by anyone?

--------------------

"Judge not a man by his thoughts and words, but by

That would be nice to see a Dark Knight class in FF5a. I wouldn't want Engineer because it doesn't seem like it could belong with the other jobs (especially because the crystals never gave you any technology related jobs).

I get it.

As a realistic possibility, I'd say I'd want what laszlow suggested.

If not, maybe Gambler, or Dark Knight (complete with more attacks than just DarkWave). They've already pretty much covered everything really well, so I don't see much room for improvement in that respect.

I'm not really sure on this new job thing (was something announced and I missed it?), but if they did put a new job in, the best one would probably be Gambler, like FFX-2's Lady Luck.

I can see them adding "Juggler" from FFTA into the mix.

I like the Dark Knight idea as well. The Knight that no longer fears the darkness.

Dead Winter. A nice comic.

And because I now have a joke to make, I will also suggest the following character class:

serial killer.

The über-bard. Has half the HP as a bard, half the stats, hides at a higher percentage of HP than the regular bard, plays instruments like the jug, the washboard, and (of course) the spoons. Has a one-in-eight chance song that has a one-in-eight chance of wiping out all enemies.

As has been mentioned, either Gambler, Dark Knight, or Paladin. It would be interesting to see a Machinist job, though. -CSM

sorry I know I'm so out of the loop, and I've never even played ff5 all the way through, but what will have a new job in it, playstation version or wha?

Phone Caller.
He can call maids to clean stats *restore* and call the repair man to "repair" your health. He can call 911 to gun the people down or fire men to wash them away with the move Big Hose. And he can call friend to yell at the creatures "STOP BUGGING HIM/HER GOD!"which leads to a chance of them running away.
Thats all for now...

So...does anyone have any real ideas on a class? xD Or should I just close the thread?

Maybe something relating to an Oracle type class? I dunno, I just see that whole green magic thing being prevalent with Squenix right now.

This is a webcomic and gaming blog where I rant about nonsense. Enjoy.

I was a soldier, now I just play one in video games.

I think a mascot class would be pretty cool. Each character would have their own special class and finely be differentiated beyond name and gender. I suppose they could, or may, add a gambler class but personally I don't find that very interesting. Would be a waste of my time, since I've never been good at the slot functions they insist on putting in there.

Fine a real job.... Ranger
He can use Daggers and Bows.
His abilities are :
-Critical Strike: Increases Chance to land a Critical Strike.
-Elemental Arrow: Adds a black magic attack to the arrow.
-Speed Increase: Increases Speed by 10%
-Speed Increase: Increases Speed by 20%
-Speed Increase: Increases Speed by 30%
-Rapid Fire: Fires multiple arrows dealing half damage.*amount of arrows are random*
I still rather Silver Lances job or mine. l>

Edgemaster/Swordmaster: Can use SwordTechs and maybe even something like runic or an attack that instantly blocks an enemy blade. (looks like Zeigfried)

Rider: Mounted on a beast. Uses lances or swords. Special ability can be a dual attack from the rider and beast. (looks like a Rider or TestRider enemy from FFVI)

just suggestions
