Something Completely New
FFXIV: Endwalker Second New Job
Honestly, there’s just something off about Warrior of Light/Dark becoming someone that summons the dead. What’s probably more likely is that Naoki Yoshida and the development team are working on introducing a brand new job to the Final Fantasy universe. They’ve gone to the well many times now at this point, and if we’re being real, they are starting to scrape the bottom of the classic Final Fantasy job barrel.
Sure, there are a few holdouts like Beastmaster or Chemist, but neither one of those jobs really fit the Grim Reaper hint that we were given. And, in the case of Chemist, its role for this expansion at least, was taken by Sage. It is a shame if you ask me, but it is what it is.
This feels like the perfect time to introduce a brand-new job to the series with most of the fan requests fulfilled at this point.
Expect something that will contrast nicely with Sage, considering the Light and Dark, Hydaelyn, and Zodiark themes that will probably be running hot during Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker.
What makes this tough, though, is that anything edgy enough to share an aesthetic with the Grim Reaper and carry a scythe is just going to feel so much like it’s encroaching on Dark Knight’s turf. We’ll have to wait and see how Yoshi-P handles it.
