AHA! What was it I said? Didn't I tell you there would be a version update November 12th, and that it'd most likely be in parts?

 

[Dayner]

getting rdy to dig for oil ;p

 

[Uzor]

Does this mean there won't be a third job? I mean, next fan festival is 15th-17th, and the version update is 5th and 12th for the expansion. It'd be pointless to reveal something we already knew through .dat searching at the fan festival.

Perhaps they'll reveal a time line?

Maybe they wanna stop at 20 for now? ~.~

Which'd be lame because I don't really wanna play either Scholar or Dancer

 

[Negorissimo]

If there is a third job it will probably be announced in the last week, to maintain hype (which has been handled incredibly well up to this day).

 

[Burne]

I was never really thinking there would be 3 new jobs. I would be surprised if there was a 3rd.

 

[Raesvelg]

15-20MB isn't a very big update though. Probably won't be much actually in it, just stuff they need to do before the expansion comes out.

There's a second one November 12th though. I'm guessing this one is mainly adding some of the new equipment, possibly spell and ability descriptions. While November 12 will add the new jobs and monsters.

 

[Morari]

I'd really like 1 or 2 more jobs, if only for the fact that since this expansion takes place during a major time of war, the jobs revealed don't seem as "warlike" as to entirely fit the motif.

But from what we have so far I'm definitely stoked, even if we don't any more than what we heard today.

Yeah I hope this happens, I bet SE is just dropping Dancer and Scholar as refresh type jobs considering how many players are bitching at lack of refreshers. Hopefully they come out with a new tank job. That'd just be great

I'm still hopin for Mystic Knight to <,<

 

[chrono fantasy]

Scholar and Dancer don't seem to relate any way to this expansion >.> But then again, SE finds their way to blend it into the storyline to fit. I was really hoping for a time mage job.. but I guess since a lot of people aren't asking for this one since they believe there's no way it can work. Heck, even if they make ways for it to be a new tank job XD It would fit in well with travelling to the past.. but guess we can't all get what we want anyways XD

It'd give me extra gil though since I was saving up for Time mage in a mule, but hopefully there will be a 3rd job still, and can't wait for this expansion

 

[K. Ishitar]

the history of the crystal war and scholar a job knowing the history of all? seems to fit there dancer... on the other hand...lol sure

i think we're done with melee jobs being added what do you guys think?

 

[Blackmagik]

yeah, we have enough melee jobs, its about time they added more mage/support jobs

 

[Isomiau]

it doesnt matter what job type they add if only the same people play them. Bards leveling dancer, whms leveling scholar, nin/plds leveling another tank class does nothing to balance things out.

 

[DarkMagnus]

I hate whm and will never lvl it past lvl 2, but scholar looks interesting.

 

[Tristam Green]

I'll see your level 2 and lower it to 1.

 

[DarkMagnus]

yeah 1 lvl of whm was enough for me. Time to delvl it.

2 bad u kant delvl undr lv3 lawlz.

 

[Arkangel]

I GOT IT the dancer will have the ability to bestow Tanking traits on other jobs, like shadows or stone skin evasion and defensive boosts ect. making a tank out of the next best thing - sam drg - drk and on and on and possible the ability to increase another characters enimity.
