, posted Sat 7 Dec 03:55
3 new jobs for each race have been revealed in the FFT-A site Link Here.
Since it's all japanese, I don't know many of them, but they look cool!
Pay special attention to:
- Mystic Knight!!
- Cutest ninja ever! (maybe after Yuffie)
- I don't know but... scaaary...
And there's also... Time Mage Moogles!! (New av ^_^). I've also recogniced Monster Hunter, Black and White Mages, Monk, Archer, Knight (or maybr squire, first human job), and more...
In my personal opinion, they all look cool, but it's more than possible that the jobs will be restricted to each race, so maybe the game will have 40 jobs, but each race will have only 8 jobs (8 jobs*5 races = 40 jobs total, looks reasonable).
I would liked to have nearly all the classes aviable to all the races, but now I'm doubting it. Anyway...
This game will rock!!
P.S.: My first Time Mage avatar... It's a cute Moogle, and it rocks!

Yeah, reading katakana isn't a rare skill.
In my case, it helps me pretend I can read/speak Japanese when I really can't.
I don't know if this'll interest anyone, but...
But here's my "translation" of the current job page, for the heck of it. It is probably mostly wrong, so take with a grain of salt. But I did cross-reference with FFV, FFT, and FFXI to get the job names pretty right, I think.
After the translation, I have a few points of interest that you might find...uh...interesting?

JOB CHANGE - The Basic Races - Broken into 5 Race Types - Job
Human Race --
Soldier -- Paladin -- Hunter
Viera Race --
Archer -- Fencer -- Assassin
N'Mu Race --
White Mage -- Monster Tamer -- Black Mage
Banga Race
White Monk -- Bishop -- Fighter
Mogri (Moogle) Race
Black Mage -- Time Mage -- Juggler

The Japanese words used to make up the names we use everyday, like "black mage", "white mage"...really fascinating. But there's a few other things I found interesting. Some of these new classes aren't "new", but rather, are pulled from FFV, FFXI, and one-shot classes from FFT. Observe:
Soldier is Cloud Strife's class from FFT. Yet it could be the new "Squire".
Paladin is from FFV and XI.
Hunter is new.
Fencer is new.
Assassin is from FFT...it was the class of Celia and Lede. :D
Monster Tamer is from FFV and FFXI, but that is also the name of one of the move functions of the Squire in FFT. (Monster Skill)
The "White" Monk distinction is brand new. Perhaps by splitting the monk class, they will no longer have, say, Chakra AND Earth Slash under one ability menu. Good call, I think.
Bishop was Simon's class from FFT.
Fighter...well...since we're comparing Japanese to Japanese, the "fighter" in FF1 is was actually called "kenshi", which is swordsman/soldier/whatever. The one here is "fighter" in katakana. Go figure. So I guess it's new, but it'll probably be just like the "kenshi" in FF1. Not that he had any skills anyway. Perhaps this is the replacement for squire?
And Juggler is new.
Cool stuff. I'm certainly excited.
