Common is this a joke right?... I keep waiting for Berserker job it really sucks having a strawberry shortcake job...

Not much is listed about them but the offical web site does have the profession dancer listed. Says something about forbidden Magic and using steps to produce results rivaling those of the most powerful sorcerous cants
SE ROX!

Yea, IMO, SE only released dancer because everyone was talking about it. Kinda like BLU. Yea it fit in well with the ToAU story, and actually added something to the game, but like many have said already, a dancer was just a girl bard. I have heard many rumors of time mage, and someone says they saw a shot of it, i haven't tho. Also, i'm guessing dancer will be girl only, as i'm sure all of you agree on, so maybe one of the other jobs will be a guy version of dancer? Like.. um... Well come on, someone give a suggestion here >.>

I still have this feeling that they are going to have 2 more jobs coming and are siting on them for a little bit to throw us all off a bit.

Well Iono maybe its just me, but i have this gut feeling they might come out with a Time Mage considering what Wings of Goddess is based on. But dancer doesnt really make sense to me. If it's like what was stating in Final Fantasy Tatics, the dancer was just the female version of a bard. But it would be nice to have a new main healer, new enhancer, and another tank job, but yeah my bets on a time mage :D
waaaambulance

everyone is b!tching about dancer, yet forget that there are (possibly) 2 more jobs to come with the expansion, assuming SE follows their pattern of 3 jobs an expansion, even though if they were to follow the pattern exactly, WotG wouldnt be releasing jobs...

anyways, chill guys. dancer isnt your cup of tea? cool, then sit patiently and wait for your geomancer and/or time mage to be announced.

and no, i dont want to hear anymore of this "chocobo knight" crap >_>;

I don't get this...COR, BRD, RDM (even SMN, WHM, and BLM can enfeeble, enhance, and debuff to a certain degree) and yet there are only 2 real tank classes?

I feel like its Christmas and I just opened the biggest present under the tree only to find socks and underwear inside...

I still don't get why they don't choose (maybe they will, who knows?) Geomancer as a new job.

Dancer is BRD, Time Mage had no spells I can remember that our current mages don't already have. Save for possibly ga's like Hastega etc. But do they really need to add a job just to put "ga" on the end of a spell? =P

Personally I think if it is dancer, it might be cool. But I really don't understand why they don't add something more unique like they did w/PUP. Geomancer would have plenty of potential w/all the different terrains in game.

actually i thought that time mage had all spells that already existed too but then i went and played my ffv (which is probably the very first ff that rawks besides the first one going in order due to your ability to be individualistic in a relitivly easy way and still be able to beat the game the way you want to....not like ff2 where you leveled up skills and **** and STILL got outmatched by mobs supposedly even to your level) and i realised that yes a big bulk of them already exist, but they also have other abilities. some of which are extremly powerful....most of those nonalready existant spells however, may even be TOO powerful to introduce into ffxi....heres 2 examples:


Comet: yes i know that this would be seemingly pointless for time mage being that it does damage of about 4/5ths of a damage dealers strength... and i'm not even gonna TOUCH the subject as to WHY THE HELL DOES TIM HAVE METEOR.....er..comet....w/e... nonetheless i know that meteor already exists, but im also aware its a mob only move....anyway i dont see how a comet has anything to do with playing with the fabric of time and using it to do your bidding...its a fking rock for christ sake...or blast of fire ...w/e.. maybe its some kind of thing only understood by the society in japan (perhaps comets have some biblical association to time there)

heres another move...this one is far more appropriate to the "time magic" theme-

Return: this move would be invaluable to ffxi players everywhere, it would save countless lives and exp loss... the only thing is i cant see them incorperating the whole animation into 3D as apposed to what they did in ffv... dont know what i'm talking about? heres a hint:

return-turns time back to when the battle first started

basically you get a second chance and it only costed 1 mp. which was rediculously useful. if you were about to die and get a pt wipe just use return and then either refight the battle accordingly using what you now know can happen and see if you can win this time, OR just run away before the mobs have a chance to do any real damage to you. everyone would be in the exact same hp/mp status effect condition they were in when the battle started, meaning you are most likely revived from K.O. if you died.

the problem is obvious...this spell is way too powerful, even if they were to use it as the 2hr ability i dont think this would be fair.... but my point still stands

they do have SOME moves that would prove useful in ffxi that dont exist...


personally i have to agree they could totally pull off geomancer without any sort of effort at all...hell if they play their cards right we could have a new tank on our hands (which we need badly). just imagine GEO using stoneskin on themselves or doign AoE stoneskin in the dunes or something with a 10 second recast or something...

Don't you think you might be jumping the gun a little bit? That screenshot isn't really definitive evidence that the job WILL be Dancer. There's been plenty of screenshots in the past that had people wearing new exotic gear in weird poses. (Just look at most of the Aht Urghan updates.)

Faimatsu isn't an official source by any means. It just feels like the addition of forums, as well as Dancer under the "Jobs" part of Create a Character seems a little premature.

Perhaps wait for a more official announcement? =/

I can see the debate to this being good/lol/wtf hitting the initial PUP levels. Anyone remember the debate surrounding THAT revelation? (These days I hear PUP's pretty decent, but I digress).

Looks like another job I unlock just to say I unlocked it, personally... (I cannot imagine my Elvaan DRK hanging up his Hauberk to put on... a Dancing outfit).

What's the 2-hour, Disco Inferno? (Wait, Soul Voice uses a disco ball...)

...well, let's start the speculation. Will this play nice with bard?

The only reason I will lvl this, is to make my subligar look better. Also, I'm hoping for MC Hammer parachute pants for the AF.

Maybe since they're adding what looks like another Support Job, it'll open the possibility-door to another Tank Job. And then some third DD job that hasn't been used yet from Tactics.

But yeah, I can't wait to see male Elvaan and Galka dancers... :/
Could be interesting

Dont forget how Diesel the Dancers were back in FF Tactics. Those two sisters on the roof with Marquis Olmdor beat me up lots of times. Not to mention Galka + Flamenco = Hot.

Lol, I'm probably the only person in the world who's excited to hear about this. :P

Although, that outfit is pretty hideous. Love the shoes and flower, but everything else...(No thanks.)
