Altana Festival in Osaka - New Job is Scholar!

At the Altana Festival in Osaka, which took place Saturday November 3rd in Japan, the stage was set for an exciting day of festivities for Final Fantasy XI fans eager to learn any new information about the upcoming fourth expansion pack, Wings of the Goddess. With so little information released about the new title and two fan festivals taking place in the remaining three weeks before release, expectations of a new job announcement at the festival have been running through many adventurers' thoughts all week. Bets have been placed and the Moogles at the M.H.M.U. have been briefed on emergency procedures should the worst happen while citizens of Vana'diel all over the world wait anxiously for the highly anticipated announcement.

Luckily, those thirsting for new teasers will not be disappointed.

The FFXI Creator's Voice Z Blog has reported that the new job announced at the conclusion of the festival is Scholar!

Discuss this new job on our main forum.

SE has erred. dancer and scholar are just excuses to make money. need one of a kind jobs that havent bin thought of before. but one thing is they shouldnt have geomancers. lots of people going around saying they should but they shouldnt. all it will be is another mage job that we dont need.pretty much a blm that can throw a stone or two mabe even enfeeble a bit woo exciting! -_-

*p.s to those who want the jobs no beef against you everyone has their own opinion
Geomancer?

I still say scrap Scholar AND Dancer, and just give us Geomancer already! ^^

With the ideas SE is pulling out for jobs lately...I'm wondering if the next expansion will have -McDonald's cashier- as a job. Of course the manager will have to go /Pup. =P

With the hundreds of good ideas we regular joes had for jobs, its only natural for SE to ignore them all and go for the most r-tarded job they can think of.

Am i the only one that feels like this is a bad after school special?
oh yeah

there's a very poorly translated version of it on the ffxiclopedia wiki page but it doesn't mention the male/female subject.

Dancer and Scholar? WTF SE?

How about something cool like Necromancer or Shapeshifter.

WTF is right! Coming out with jobs already applied in other FF's! We need to see jobs that we've never seen before & that only belong in ****** games like WoW!

/sarcasm

Dancer & Scholar have been applied in various other FF's. It's only natural for them NOT to put in Necromancers, and Shapeshifters. Hell, we already have those jobs. They're called Puppetmasters & Blue Mages. Consider yourself lucky you even GOT Puppetmaster when it wasn't ever a job in the previous games.

Go play WoW.

Scholar Job

The PlayOnline website notes the following for the new Scholar job.

During the Crystal War, these military tacticians often served as high-ranking officers in allied forces across Vana'Diel. Extensive knowledge of ancient martial heory granted them the ability to wield schools of magic, between which they would alternate depending on the situation at hand.

Hey, cool! A scholar job. One of the really old old old jobs! I wonder what kind of mage it'll be?

Or maybe it'll be the answer to all our prayers...TANK MAGE!

(Yeah, I know...dumb idea. We would always welcome a new tank job though :D)
Didn't see this coming

Or maybe it's because the Japanese love looking at female characters more?

I know I do.
