I am personally hoping that it has a high DEF and VIT. One would think it would be melee intensive, having to most likey survive and enemy attack to learn it, like Strago from FFVI. It would also be nice if it was another fully soloable job, like bst, but more pt friendly. Another thing I'd really love to see is Dark Magic having direct damage spells. If you think about it, our dark magic spells really suck. Drain is the only direct damage spell we have. Bio is ghood and fun, and can't be resisted, but what happens if you need to sleep the critter after casting bio on it? No go. I'd like to see a dark magic equivalent of Banish, and Unholy or Dark Holy would be nice also. Blue Mage could have some really potent crap... Hell Slash or Blood Saber from bones...that would **** people off in ballista... Rot Gas, Curse...and everyone's favorite, Healing Wind from Catoblepas >.>

If I remeber correctly, in FFV, Blue Mage skills used MP...so why would SE deviate from that...it's simple Blue Mage skills use MP and then WS use TP. If the weapons were to be scimtars I'd imagine it would use sword WS but id like to see some new ones.

OMG OMG OMG OMG BLUE MAGE im sorry me and my friend have been workin on his char which is currently 64 brd and i got my own char just a month ago and hes helped me. Since i couldent decide between Bst Drg or Brd or Pld from a whm a decided to just lvl whm and now reaching 36 i now kno what my advanced job is going to be, so does anyone kno anything on abilitys or JA? My thought is that the 2hr or like a 30 min timed JA will be like absorb which alows u to gain an enemy skill if they have one but 2hrs would be a little long u kno. Or there 2 hr could be like lvl 4 or 5 holy or death somethin along those lines. now i like the post who said it would be like used as MP and TP i like that but it would change the game set up and controls some. Also if it did id guess like diffrent amounts of TP for varies Phisical skills while Mp would be magic.
Well ive rambeled on just tell me any ideas and/or info u kno kk.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT

u know what would be sick?
if they split up smn into 2 kinds..
a white smn and a black smn
the white would get there own set of avatars each with support techniques like for instance garuda aerial armor or carbuncle's healing ruby
while black ones would get more attack based avatars which would be a kind of black mage fighter like thingy
this way SE can add new avatars without making the summoner job too powerful.. only probelm is what do u do to all the old lv 75 smn ><

I understand the expansion is not due out until 2006... but when is the October update?
I keep hearing about it, but haven't seen the specific date the server will be screwed up..
Anyone have any idea?

What I think would be cool is have the abilities be both MP and TP based. Things like the web thing and fire breath could be MP based. While something like Goblin Rush could be done with TP.
I dunno though, I guess we'll see.

LMAO that'd b ownage, yea, remember that...but u gotta die to learn it in most cases...so just hope the opposition doesnt hav a BLU so they dont cast back :P

there is level 5 death in FFXI already. demon NMs in Dynamis-Xarcabard use it. I think BLU will have to learn from them if he'll even get that :). and he has to resist I guess lol.

Don't get the update and the expansion confused. The update in October will have new BST pets, a new Dynamis like area, some kind of EXP egg type thing, and maybe a few other things.
The expansion will have the new areas and new jobs. That new expansion will be released on 3.15.06 according to 1up.com.

I wonder what other additions might come from this. One job...so far. A few zones...missions? Story line? There's gonna be a new Ynamis-like place coming October...hmmm...

Do you think BLU can be used as a good SJ? If the abilities use MP, then it can boost Mages' MP, and some Mobs Techs may be good as supports magic...
Also wanted to ask, do you guys think BLUs will be allowed to use shields?
What about races? Will elvaan still suck, and mithra and tarus be great?

All this talk...To tell you the truth, i kind of want alot of these things to be locked until you complete certain story requirments. I am soo far behind on Zilart and CoP, but in my hopes this will light a fire under the XP whores and Gil mongers to further the storyline along.
Then EVVVERYONE will be /shouting for CoP missions and I can be done in a week!

I think Necromancer would be a really cool new job. Just imagine being able to control the dead...that would make Eldieme that much nicer to visit.

Idiots Necromancer WAS a FF Job
It was in FFV
And I think that Necromancer would be an awesome addition to FFXI
I think it could be a kinda Pet/Black Magic job.

well the thing is that necromancer IS NOT A FF JOB! it never has been! and its not like it would work anyway the monsters disapear after dieing! you want to be a necro go play Diablo 2 with expansion there ya go. but still its not a ff job never has been.

ive never seen a dragoon or a samuari in a final fantasy game maybe i just havent played far enough in but just for the record, if you havent even looked at the final fantasy games youd know that a necromancer could be a potential job i mean after all its final FANTASY not final you can only be these jobs.....
Well if you would have played Final Fantasy tactics you would know that both dragoon and samurai was in that game and also Cid was a dragoon in final fantasy VII...

Who cares if it has never been a FF job? it would still be a cool new job to have in the game. I'm just trying to think outside the FF box here a bit. And, by the way, Diablo 2 was not the 1st game to have a Necromancer job. Advanced Dungeons and Dragons was the 1st game to introduce the Necromancer job long before FF was conceived...just a little RPG history for ya.
Oh and I have played Necromancer on Diablo 2 and had lots of fun with it but that was 5 years ago and i have moved on.

mobs dont disappear for about 10-20 seconds so you could raise with a macro. also, necro is already a job, what you think the skeleton summoning pirates are <.<

Well that sucked ***. I wrote a whole post, and i hit some button that deleted it. Anyways. Bluemages like in the ff's that had them, will most likely be able to learn a skill in some fashion. Whether is by "living it" or using a skill like a Lancet type ability is still unknown. I see it not mattering either way, because i doubt a lvl 1 blue mage could survive or lancet (probably get resisted) spike flail.
Not only that but you havent even started to think that "what if we could learn a mobs ability at any lvl" BUT the stipulation was we couldn't use it till a certain lvl. I'm still tryin to figure out if this is a solo or party job, and if party where they will fit. Which perhaps maybe based on there sub; all in all there probably just general support.
What i'm REALLY curious about besides them sounding like a rip off of a rdm, is how there weapon will come into play. As in they say scimitar...will this be a sword? Or will it have a totally seperate list of "WS". So far i'm thinking they'll be like the rdm a lot of people hated at high lvl. Meaning they will be in melee casting spells or using monster abilities. What would be really interesting is if there monster abilities will be based on a sub job, kinda like wyvern for drg's breath attack.
Whatever SE decides i'm sure it'll be over powerd in the beginning. Which means i'll have to lvl it ASAP LOL. So dam it after sayin "gay blue mages" i'll probably be one of the first to lvl it >.<. I just hope this blue mage adds yet another flavor to ffxi. Oh one last thing....you think spiked flail is powerful for a monster ability? Try using "death" from the NM tonberry, now that would own @.@.

Sea isn't talked about alot because its insanely tough to get there and not alot of people have access. Sea is the region called Lumoria and I believe you go in thru Sea Lions Den. For some reason it doesn't show up on your in game map if you dont have access to it i guess, but you can see it if you go to ffxi-atlas.com

Besides the blue mage, they should also add time mage, geomancer, and mime(FFV mimic job)
Time Mage - uses all time magic such as slow, stop, and all other time magic used in FFV.
Geomancer - Master of the elements and surroundings, can use the land to there advantage.
Mime - go to eyesonff.com to check it out, one neat job to use. Mimic the attack a previous party member used, if spell casts the spell without mp loss, or if weapon skill, use that weapon skill without tp loss.
My point of view.

My point of view.
Mimic (Burn?) parties would pop up ALL over the place. Get 1 healer, 1 (job with mega powerful WS here) using (that mega powerfull WS here), get tp on weak mobs, WS--> mimic --> mimic --> mimic...
Also dying would be impossible: Cure X (whatever you use) --> mimic --> mimic --> mimic when someone gets in the red.
Also as ogunsiren said, theres too much going on to mimic what you want to. You might want to mimic a WS, but someone else used a Cure spell or used Boost or something. Only the above setup would work well with mimics, if at all (just hypothetical, since its not in the game, but someone would more than likely take it seriously)
Oh yea also Geomancer would probably be useless 93% of the time because you always find mobs on the terrain that corresponds to them. You wouldn't want to be using a water type ability on crabs in the dunes now would you?

I posted a theory on this below. IMO, I don't think it would be time mage because we already have mages that can cast time related spells. If I recall, Time mages in other FF were the only ones that could really do stuff like paralyze,slow, stop, haste, and maybe some damage over time spells. I do think they were also able to cast the Demi line of spells, but I don't see that coming into the game because that would make xp'ing insanely easy if we could instantly decrease hp by the huge % like before. The old Demi spells did like 25%,50%, and 75% or something nuts.
I don't see mimic because there is too much going on at the same time. There are 6 people in an xp party using skills, casting spells, and using WS back to back to back. Its not like the solo FF games where 1 character attacks at a time and you could set up the order people do things. Plus it would be tough to solo unless you could mimic your own subjob abilities.

That one picture looks like a Ghost Ship to me. Could it be?
Hurray for Ghost Ships! ><; Every game has to have one I guess.... but I always remember them being my most unfavorite part of the game. (*~.^)
