In an interview, producer Naoki Yoshida said in a new interview that “brand new” Final Fantasy XIV jobs that “have never appeared in a Final Fantasy series before” are likely to appear in an MMO game in due course. Although it’s obviously very difficult to get the team to do that.
In the game, players have many choices to decide on Final Fantasy XIV classes and jobs, but new ones are added regularly. Such as the Reaper and Sage jobs added last December as part of the Endwalker expansion. This also provides players with more options, and they can also prepare enough FFXIV Gil to strengthen themselves.
In a new interview with Final Fantasy XI website We Are Vana’diel, producer Naoki Yoshida lamented how hard it was for the team to come up with new jobs, as the gameplay experience needed to match their pre-built designs. Yoshi-P then added that he thinks they have no choice but to come up with brand new work that has never appeared in the Final Fantasy series before. What form they could take. He didn’t elaborate, but they confirmed they would add more work to continue delivering new gaming experiences.
Final Fantasy XI producer Akihiko Matsui agreed that it was “hard to come up with new jobs,” adding that the team couldn’t release a better version of a certain job. And doing new jobs that provide the same experience as existing jobs defeats the purpose of adding new jobs. Nonetheless, Matsui said that adding “new jobs or playable races as the main feature of the new expansion” is a “design rule”, so players will definitely see new jobs at some point. Players can also buy FFXIV Gil in advance to have more fun in the game!
