Personally I would love a Corsair/Pirate themed job that uses a cutlass/pistol combo. Sort of an inverse Red Mage where you go melee to build up a gauge and then jump back to to a ranged burst. Also I don’t think we have enough Pirate aesthetics in the game at higher levels. I think it would also slot nicely into using Scouting gear alongside Ninja.

    Don’t think we’ve gotten any direct hints. The most we can go off of is looking at the Job list and extrapolating from there. For instance, there might be a caster since the last one was Red Mage on Stormblood.

    To my knowledge, yes the Fan Fest are where they start to drop hints for the jobs.

      (Super mild 6.0 alliance raid spoilers? Not sure how to mark spoilers).

      My theory is that there’ll be a new casting job and Krile will be our showcase character for it. I think they’ve said that Krile is going to be on our new scions-equivalent team in 7.0, and in the Euphrosyne raid story she wandered off and seemed to be poking around at natural power sources and had a line about how she felt weak and was hoping to get stronger. Something like a geomancer, maybe? Green mage, time mage? I don’t think she’d ever be a physical combatant.

      Then I bet we get a second job that can share Scouting gear, just so ninja isn’t alone there.
