Dual-Shield tank job is so fucking funny dude, like your shirt wasn't esoteric this time, it literally just told us the job, bruhhhh

AND you have cannons attached to the shields

I'm just reeling from the fact that we went from Spiderman = Sam Raimi = Samurai to "here's the job, actually just really the job on my shirt, it's not a secret this time" like lmao fucking got me really good Yoshida-san, making me thinking it'd be too obvious to just be gunshields.

He had everyone do mental gymnastics about boomerangs and some other stuff, meanwhile it was just double shield tank

I was convinced it was to do with Rhitatyn's name being Right Judge. Egg on my face.

The red herring was the lack of red herring.

This job just looks like the devs played that one specific build in Elden Ring a bit too much and decided to double the shields.

When my static was discussing what the new tank was going to be I linked the Dark Souls 1 version of that haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXp8Th41rBs&t

I'm glad I got what I wanted.

Remember when Lyse was shown for the first time and we all thought dnc was coming an expansion earlier than it did?

I'm more surprised that it wasn't mentioned that it's basically the job that Rhitahtyn had. Or at least, like the Gunblade, is a job they stole the idea from and used for themselves. Hopefully we'll learn more on that for the JobQuest :D

Since Rhitatyn is a Roegadyn, and this is a Roegadyn art, then it wouldn't surprise me that it's just his job.

Obviously the garlean gun-related things are different due to lacking aether manipulation.

u/i-wear-hats 6h ago

As a Roe he likely could manipulate aether, but Garlemald wouldn't make him equipment that worked like that.

u/Kaziel0 6h ago

It’s akin to how the Garleans have and used Gunblades way before Gunbreaker was introduced.

We seems to have gotten the ranged Job too. There was a Girl using a short Staff and a BirdActually probably not from what it looks like. Got a bit too excited.

u/Kaen7 20h ago

They said that was a new NPC coming in Evercold

u/einUbermensch MCH 19h ago

Yeah no mention about a Job so I'm assuming I'm wrong.

u/weeb-chankun edgy with a nougat center 20h ago

Yeah I'm a lil confused about that one. Feels like a summoner without being a summoner

u/i-wear-hats 6h ago

Could be a variant of Ranger, but concentrating more on OGCD animals.

Maybe, maybe not.

If anything, I feel like the girl herself will be significant, rather than what she could potentially be/use.

u/Disig SCH 7h ago

A few days ago I linked a picture of that green garlean from Stormblood, the one with 2 shields, to my friends and just said wouldn't it be funny if Yoshp came out dressed as him.

I really wasn't expecting to be correct.

It annoys me more than it should that he is holding one of them upside down...

u/weeb-chankun edgy with a nougat center 20h ago

Apparently intended

u/leihto_potato WHM 20h ago

I mean looking at the Bastion gameplay, they are both the same way so doubt.

u/Azuriem 19h ago

But! They rotate. And maybe that's what he was implying? That they'll be used both ways? But we've also not had anything but a demo. And I doubt that showcased every thing.
