No, they're just not doing job quests for 70-79, you're still getting an 80 quest.

The idea they've had is that during leveling, you have to do one set of "Role Quests" which will involve retracing the Warriors of Darkness's history on the First. There's a line for Tanks, Healers, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS, but you need to finish one to finish the MSQ. Then, after the MSQ, every job has a unique level 80 quest. Similarly, the Hand/Land jobs have their quests consolidated: the Facets of Forging, Crafting, and Nourishment for Hand, the Facets of Gathering and Fishing for Land. They'll be similar to the Custom Deliveries questlines.

Gunbreaker and Dancer will still have 60-70 job questlines of their own.

How else will you be able to tell it's a woman unless you expose their thighs with the armor design?

I don't think Square knows what they want to do with the Samurai designs. They have the traditional look then they have what Auron was wearing in FFX but it also looks a lot like the old Monk armor. Monk armor has morphed into some sort of modern beat 'em up protagonist look.

No, they're just doing them differently in Shadow. The ones up to 70 will be unchanged presumably, and there will be a revisiting at 80

So which Jobs are goons most/least excited about based on just the showcase video/fanfest talk?

It's definitely made me want to try out a bunch of jobs in ShB, although I've used WAR the most, it's the one I'm most meh about to level for ShB cool factor wise.

I like my fell cleaves, but it doesn't even register on the radar compared to shadow stand.

Honestly I'm going to play a healer but I am so loving curious about New MCH. I was always mildly annoyed that Mechanist was "the job with guns" and not Edgar from FF6 and they're fixing the hell out of that.

MCH is a big winner for a lot of folks, I think. I'm probably going to level it at some point now that it gets a bunch of Edgar tools.

I'm still looking forward to Gunbreaker the most. I like tanking and GNB is definitely pretty badass. I'll probably do at least one of every role, so GNB, MCH, SAM or NIN, BLM or RDM, and SCH.

DRK and AST are up there. I mained WHM for SB and although a rework sounds nice, nothing they showed off was tantalizing. Except for Protect being gone. Get that poo poo out of here.

It's about time for my once per decade ban for being a consistently terrible poster.
DRK [As literally everyone was when they saw we had a summon Fray button], SCH [To see if my fairy still carries me with the new changes], Dancer [Because synergistic buffing and twirling death blades intrigues me].

Least is things like SAM and RDM and all the rest where it looks like they got some cool things, but are relatively unchanged. So it's like, always neat to have cool new buttons but....I kind of know what I'm in for there.

AST for healing, GNB for tanking and NIN for melee all three because they seem to be high APM classes. I dont know which ranged phys dps class would be best for me since I've never played one for long. Dancer seems unique though, if she plays smoothly then she'll definitely be my top pick

Enough of this nonsense. You are an important mayor and this absurd contraption has wasted enough of your time.
Sam and Gun for me. Gun is so flashy I am even pondering main swapping to it from sam in light of all the other tank changes. Defense being always on and no more damage penalty is huge to me. But if the main shb sam changes are 150% more midare's and even bigger potency abilities to throw out then that is exactly what I am on board for.

Yeah, from the LL it sounds like they're trying to make it more like the traditional FF summoner, where you're quickly bringing different summons in and out of play. Instant egis, plus Phoenix as a new tool seems to bring that together. I wonder if swapping egis out will become part of the rotation.
