Why Necromancer could be a viable job in the future

It's a very popular EQOA job.

One of their Class Mastery skills on EQOA could be a 2hr I guess, I always liked the idea that they gave their own HP to others. Like for example, if the PLD was red HP, the Necro could stack heal and give his own health (yea, I've seen necros pact themselves to death at raids... but that's just plain funny)
Necros were so cheap in EQOA -_-. Their pets were godly=P
 
well actually there is already one necromancer in veidail. Any you that has done the mannquine quest has seen him. <we wears a dalmatica:mad: >
So it could be possible seeing how they have already interduce the consept to the game.
 
And theres already a vampire npc in the game.. doesn't meant hey should make it a playble class.
 
On the Necro, No Thanks.

Yes, A bunch of other MMO's have Necromancer's.


Go play them please ^^;. I Play FFXI because it's different. And I like that fact. I would rather it not get lost in the mainstream of MMO's.
 
I'm with Skaw, etc.
I don't want to see FFXI turn into a goddamn clone of every generic RPG/MMO/etc out there.
It'd be like adding chocobos to WoW, for example.

Yes, leave the chocos in FFXI. I like to summon my FREE RIDE and ride it anytime and almost anywhere I please :D

Overtime it's a lot cheaper than a damn choco fee. Considering your Choco is severly limited by a time limit and where you can use it. I'd call it a free ride eventually :)

true.. overtime we spend an arm and a leg for chocobo and limited time (teh sux) but a Mount isn't free :P just better
 
NOw necro wouldn't be so bad of an addition. Indeed it is not part of the original ff universe, but y can't this game introduce new things to the ff universe in terms of jobs. I think it would be kinda fun to lvl up necro.

Plus really, can you blame them, there are people out there that play mmo's because they like necro, thus if FF adds necro then they can pick up a piece of that pie.

I say go for it, lets see what it can do.
 
To those of you that say adding necro is the easy way out, your so far off. First theyd have to make it fit in the universe then come up with all the skills and abilities from scratch. Every job in this game was based on something previous. To create something new would be too hard, and that's the bottom line:

Adding a Necro class would be too much work, and SE doesn't like to do things the hard way in FF11.
 
No no it'd be the easy way out by jackin a page from the big book of mmorpg cliche. Sides all SE would do is make it play exactly like SMN, cept the 2hr would be called Spectral Ebb, the Blood Pacts would be called Cadaverous Covenant, cept the Undead Summons could possibly take HP instead of MP. That's how I see SE doing Necro, and to me if they made it like SMN with minor differences, that'd be taking the easy way out.
 
Lol going to have to agree with Skaw 100% about quitting if they add
Necro or whatever in this game lmao. Other FF jobs are..

Time Mage
Mystic Knight
Berserker
Alchemist
Mime
Dancer
Mascot

Lol I'd like to see those first before necromancer lol.. which would kill the game. Maybe if they were some sort of Undead beastmaster... mayybe mayybe, but still not FF related in any way lol. NOt only that, but if they do add it you're going to see all these Diablos fans bitching about how FF stole their job blah blah bitch bitch. Rather have Final Fantasy stick to their origins.

What I really want to see are Black Chocobos and Red Chocobos(Maybe as a summon.. but Carbuncle already has that meteor move).. maybe red chocobo feathers lol. Not many FF veterans out there, but Skaw prob knows what i'm talking about.

Yes, Monk, Warrior, Ranger, White/Black/Red Mage, Summoner, Dark Knight, Paladin, Ninja, Bard, Thief, and Dragoon are all very original. lawl

Historically in the series, yes. The only source they could have taken from at the time that uses a similiar class structure would be D&D. Which took their ideas from historical fiction.

Theres no such thing as a truely original idea these days D:
