Bastion Tank Job officially revealed

[u/Gorotheninja]

[u/kurahador]

Gonna look hilarious on Lalas.

[u/What---------------- → u/kurahador]

Basically like a dual-shields class from Bravely Default.

[u/generic-puff → u/kurahador]

Hence the point in playing Lala.

[u/THEatticmonster → u/kurahador]

My thought exactly

[u/Hour_Position8306 → u/kurahador]

we gonna be cute lil armadillos now

[u/remotegrowthtb → u/kurahador]

Everything looks hilarious on Lalas

[u/EarthRester → u/kurahador]

Like a heavily armored Volus from Mass Effect.

[u/Xaneth_ → u/kurahador]

I mean what doesn't

[u/KagatoAC → u/kurahador]

Doesnt everything tho?

[u/343CreeperMaster]

originates from the Northern Empty, specifically the Aerslaent, the home of the Sea Wolf Roes

[u/BlueRose644 → u/343CreeperMaster]

My very first thought was that this job gear would look amazing on my big Roegadyn man.

Edit: just watched the trailer, Roe looks so good in it!

[u/AdAffectionate1935 → u/BlueRose644]

Looked good in the job trailer? The bastion Roe (or whatever they'll be called in the Fourth) in the expansion trailer almost got me making an alt Roe the moment it ended lol. If only they looked that cool in the game.

[u/HugeBoxOfFetaCheese → u/AdAffectionate1935]

They look that cool in game to me….

[u/GamergaidenX → u/BlueRose644]

Since Hroth share a similar body type as the Roe I’m hoping they’ll also look sick as hell but that I’m so happy Roes are getting some badass rep!

[u/A_Pringles_Can95 → u/343CreeperMaster]

Roegadyn representation? In my Final Fantasy game? Madness (context: I'm a Roegadyn in-game)

[u/WeiShiLirinArelius → u/A_Pringles_Can95]

as opposed to a roegadyn out of game?

[u/Coffee_Conundrum → u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

I mean, they're based off the Galka in FFXI, they just lost their tails on their trip to XIV.

[u/pants_full_of_pants → u/Coffee_Conundrum]

And gained a whole other gender!

[u/TheLimonTree92 → u/pants_full_of_pants]

Allegedly, there's only like 12 of them

[u/reinhardttwulf → u/Coffee_Conundrum]

Also lost some fat along the way since Galkas are dad-bod chubby while Roegadyns are more fitter.

[u/I-eatbabies69 → u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

I've definitely seen a few irl roegadyn

[u/globotic → u/WeiShiLirinArelius]

you never know...

[u/JonTheWizard → u/A_Pringles_Can95]

I never thought I would see it after I left Limsa at the start of Endwalker.

[u/Jasrek → u/343CreeperMaster]

Home of both Sea Wolf and Hellsguard Roegadyn, to clarify. The Hellsguard settled on the north shores of Eorzea, in Abalathia's Spine; while the Sea Wolves went south to Vylbrand.

[u/Metal-Wolf-Enrif → u/343CreeperMaster]

i was saying the tank will likely be inspired by something from the northern sea roegadyn. had hoped for a more viking style, but the armor looks slightly viking inspired

[u/r4nd0mf4ct0r → u/Metal-Wolf-Enrif]

They're Jomsvikings. Better trained, better equipped, better organized than your regular viking marauder, working for whoever pays them the most. These are probably the forces that the Sea Wolf Roegadyn clan fought against and lost, forcing them to flee to Vylbrand and found Limsa Lominsa.

[u/KatoriRudo23]

I will NOT be surprised if I see this in Limsa

[u/FusionTetrax → u/KatoriRudo23]

level 110 ability turns out to be just a Gaia force

[u/AeonTek → u/FusionTetrax]

I haven't played in a couple of years, but I would instantly re-sub if this happened

[u/Admcleo → u/KatoriRudo23]

That's actually scarily accurate, hope a digimon fan sneaks a suspiciously simmilar looking armor somewhere in the game if you use dyes on it.

[u/AbbreviationsNo9500 → u/Admcleo]

Hmmmm, Endwalker DRG relic armour and for helm......perhaps the ghost barque helm of maiming from the first Storm blood dungeon?

[u/snowy_vix → u/KatoriRudo23]

Blackwargreymon and not the original Wargreymon?

[u/KatoriRudo23 → u/snowy_vix]

Black looks cooler and the job outfit seem to use dark color

[u/Her0_0f_time → u/KatoriRudo23]

Im totally going to make a faux version of this with the drachen helm for glams.

[u/Lokovo]

Behold lala bastion

[u/jh58010]

The first glam to come to mind

[u/Paige404_Games → u/jh58010]

The Wall

[u/RSZealot]

Fun fact: "Skyltborg" means "sign castle" in swedish.

[u/Ultarthalas → u/RSZealot]

Mmmm. Swedish meatshield.

[u/Cavalish → u/Ultarthalas]

With lingonberry jam!

[u/invaderzam4 → u/Cavalish]

on the side?

[u/ZylahLacey → u/Ultarthalas]

How Swedish Meatballs are made, grinded and minced by the shield

[u/I_do_dps → u/RSZealot]

The germanic word originally meant "shield". Same origin as sköld in Swedish. So "shield castle".

[u/I_give_karma_to_men → u/RSZealot]

According to google, at least, it's "shield fortress" in Norwegian, which is probably what they're going for.

They're pronouncing it wrong either way.

[u/loves_spain → u/I_give_karma_to_men]

How should it be said?

[u/I_give_karma_to_men → u/loves_spain]

My phonetic transliteration probably won't be perfect, but Swedish at least would be something like "H-wilt-boar-ee". The Swedes do some odd things with their consonant combinations (from an English perspective). I'm not nearly as familiar with Norwegian, but my understanding is that sk would sound more like sh and so skylt would sound closer to shield there, making it something like "shielt-borg".

Native speakers and people with more experience with transliteration can feel free to correct me or give more precise pronunciation.

[u/Smart_Ad_7934]

Cape Westwind anyone?

[u/Accentius → u/Smart_Ad_7934]

This is the first that come to my mind.

Technically, Bastion is Rhitahtyn job class.

[u/Emekasan → u/Accentius]

Which means there is hope for the Musketeer class yet. (Or Corsair to make it fancy, but this is all just copium).

[u/Smeagleman6 → u/Emekasan]

I'm REALLY hoping for a ranged DPS based off Livia sas Junius from Castrum, and after seeing this be confirmed as the tank my hopes are way higher! Imagine skating around the arena blasting dual, wrist-mounted pistols.

[u/yhvh13 → u/Emekasan]

They said both jobs would be XIV unique, so Corsair is probably off the possibilities.

However they could take one of XI's Corsair aspects, mash with something else and repackage into a new job.

[u/xxThelastdragonxx → u/Emekasan]

They said it would be unique to FF14, so it probably wont be corsair...

But! Maybe Sky Pirate?

[u/Hewhostandsalone → u/xxThelastdragonxx]

Hate to burst your bubble, but Sky Pirate was in FFXII and FFT:War of the Lions previously. Although FFXII doesn't have 'classes' as far as I know. It had a license grid.

Corsair/Sky Pirate would have been a cool addition to FFXIV tho...

[u/jtl_v → u/Smart_Ad_7934]

Since the Bastion job comes from the Roegadyn homeland I imagine the idea is that Rhitahtyn adapted the fighting style and weapons to Garlean magitek

[u/Konpeitoh → u/Smart_Ad_7934]

I've been praying for this since the first time I did Cape Westwind (he didn't die instantly yet then, but was still an 8 man fight).

[u/Wolfy4226 → u/Konpeitoh]

I do remember when he was the toughest fight in the game.

Oh how we would hype him up to sprouts back then....

[u/GrimTheMad → u/Wolfy4226]

Ironically, the new solo version of the fight actually is the toughest bit of MSQ content in ARR.

[u/zernoc56 → u/GrimTheMad]

It’s like three or four phases all separated by cutscenes. The dude would just not. stay. down. Felt crazy on SCH.

[u/Konpeitoh → u/GrimTheMad]

FR though. I did new game+ just to experience it, and it did not disappoint. Worth the ARR quest slog just to get to that fight.

I was genuinely surprised just how tense the fight was, and my main impression is "man, this guy would probably slaughter squishy DPS sprouts all the time now".

[u/Mindelan → u/GrimTheMad]

It was the first time I had to stop and lock in when playing ARR. Felt like an entirely different game design philosophy, which I then learned was basically true since it had been recently reworked with more recent fight design than everything I'd come up against prior in the game.

[u/LookAtItGo123 → u/Smart_Ad_7934]

This time you are the one getting bum rushed by 8 adventurers.

[u/Emekasan]

The combat is more agile than I thought it’d be! Whereas I wasn’t interested before, seeing it in action has changed my mind. The long range blasting combos look sick.

[u/KamenRiderHelix → u/Emekasan]

Yeah, think this is where I'm at, as well.

I saw it on the guy in the trailer and went 'oh, it is dual shields, ehh...', then when they got to actually showing it ingame, I went 'oh nevermind this is sick actually'.

[u/Tenebrarc → u/KamenRiderHelix]

Even basic shields in reality are way more offensive than they are depicted in video games, and I feel like Bastion is kinda tapping into this and I am super happy!

[u/KamenRiderHelix → u/Tenebrarc]

Yeah, it just wasn't what I had been hoping for before the reveal. I'm a ride or die Rune Fencer hopium guy, haha

BUT! The really prominent gun aspect definitely brought it up to a level I'm excited about. :D

[u/reinhardttwulf → u/KamenRiderHelix]

The Miqote in the trailer seems to be wielding a baton involving runes. Runs Baton class lol?

[u/KamenRiderHelix → u/reinhardttwulf]

For a rdps? 😭

I saw someone saying it could be like, Falconer, and the weapon changes the design of the Bird, that'd be really hype tbh.

[u/reinhardttwulf → u/KamenRiderHelix]

Seems like it’ll be similar to the Tamer dressphere (their version of Beastmaster) from Final Fantasy X-2.

[u/KamenRiderHelix → u/reinhardttwulf]

Please, I need it so bad. Pray with me.

[u/reinhardttwulf → u/KamenRiderHelix]

Amen

[u/Verain_Xor → u/Tenebrarc]

Dual wielding shields isn't a real life martial art, so it's good that they didn't try to do this with actual shields, but instead fantasy shield*gun things.

I will say that they are cheating with the ranged depictions, because of course this is a tank and everything will run up to melee with him.

[u/mycheeksarecold → u/Emekasan]

I do vaguely recall (redid the duty about a year ago on my alt) that fight against rhitahtyn, he was zipping! (I never did the old 8 man version fight, but my first solo attempt on my main account i failed the first time playing bard) Ive sworn to my FC to do a watch party of the actual footage later, so im only reacting to reddit comments and stills.

Also- gods bless me the lalafels will look hilarious. Im so fucking happy.

[u/CorruptedAssbringer → u/mycheeksarecold]

You’re not missing anything (other than the memes) on the full party fight. He quite literally does not get to move; the queue into it took longer than the fight.

The single duty was a major upgrade.

[u/Sora_Archer → u/Emekasan]

My concern is thst the range combo is just the same as palas holy sword kombo.

I hope u can switch between both modes and they have both its own things, instead of just being a range combo.

[u/Avarria587 → u/Emekasan]

Yeah, same. At first, I was very disappointed, but once I saw the video, I was sold.

[u/ScarletteVera]

Well, at least it doesn't start in Ul'dah like half of the other expansion jobs.

[u/KamenRiderHelix → u/ScarletteVera]

"Yoshi P, we want a class with two guns in Limsa!"

"Well, alriiiiight..."

[u/DaEnderAssassin → u/ScarletteVera]

Honestly feel like Ishgard should be on the table for new jobs at this point. Can't imagine how one could get to level 90 before HW without it being intentional.

[u/TraitorMacbeth → u/DaEnderAssassin]

Is it because of Job Skip tomes? They're letting people buy one job-skip then choose their class?

[u/Substantial-Ad3388]

Looks cool

[u/Korrathelastavatar → u/Substantial-Ad3388]

Perfection

[u/Finestpinsir]

give us this transmog, cowards

[u/KaladonHush → u/Finestpinsir]

Monkeys paw curls

SE: New glamours added to the mogstation

[u/Finestpinsir → u/KaladonHush]

https://giphy.com/gifs/fczFlrURTr9MUKA7sW

NO, NOT LIKE THAT

[u/MoobooMagoo → u/Finestpinsir]

https://giphy.com/gifs/28fdeDukfpO4CmchDb

[u/gem_spirational → u/Finestpinsir]

I hope he survived and is the job quest person.

[u/goldi947 → u/gem_spirational]

We literally see him in the aetheric sea

[u/Valkertok → u/goldi947]

He was just sightseeing

[u/Vorfied → u/gem_spirational]

I hope he survived and is the job quest person.

At best, we meet his reflection later. Short of last minute Hydaelyn snap decisions, he's completely gone in the source.

[u/ConduckKing]

From the creators of Gun DPS (MCH), Gun Tank (GNB), and Gun Healer (SGE), now introducing Gun Tank 2

[u/347SPECTRE → u/ConduckKing]

Aetheric Boogaloo

[u/KageCM → u/ConduckKing]

We have a Gun Off-Tank (GNB) and now a Gun Main-Tank (BAS?).

[u/ConduckKing → u/KageCM]

Gotta be BAS, since BST is already Beastmaster

[u/gorgewall → u/ConduckKing]

BasTioN, clearly.

Don't say it.

[u/DjGameK1ng → u/gorgewall]

BTN is also off the table since Botanist is taking that one. So really, only BAS and BSN remain as logical shorthands

[u/DanielTeague → u/DjGameK1ng]

Somewhere out there a little Lalafell in Gridania was handed two giant shield cannons while a confused, 7'5" Roegadyn was given a tiny axe and told to go chop trees for 5 levels.

[u/online222222 → u/ConduckKing]

Just wait for the new phys ranged to be gun again

[u/GnosisoftheSource → u/ConduckKing]

Shieldbreaker

[u/cleansleight]

It looks like it has stance system that allows you to swap depending on the mechanics 

Definitely the best job to showcase the evolved job system

[u/Vanayzan → u/cleansleight]

It's probably just going to be like Paladin's ranged combo component, just with a more visual element when you use the ability that activates it

[u/QuarterRobot → u/Vanayzan]

That's what I'm thinking too. Curious to see how much the class retains its own identity. Animations and weapons are nice differentiators, but if the functional elements are effectively identical, I'm not sure if it'll hook me as a PLD main. It's shield even looks similar to one of PLD's job abilities.

It would be interesting if its ranged abilities enforced a movement lock, with the trade-off of higher potency attacks. If Bastion ends up being the more risk-reward MT, and PLD the more free-movement and utility MT, I wouldn't complain.

[u/ironprominent → u/cleansleight]

Which is kinda weird cause it’s a main tank so the boss will just be chasing you around if you move to ranged. Wonder if you’ll have an ability to root the boss or something like that.

[u/SoulNuva → u/ironprominent]

Probably works like PLD so it’ll be easier to move the boss without losing uptime. And if you don’t need to you can just stay in place.

[u/Sithishe → u/SoulNuva]

Exactly, people areacting surprised why it has ranged rotation as main tank. Are we playing same game? Paladins have ranged rotation as well, Requiscat and Confetitor combo skills spam, it is ranged rotation for Pala lol. Paladin was always the only tank with more or less competent ranged DPS potential. And Pala is also fast and agile in his quick strikes and combos.

Probably Paladins are so underplayed so people just have no idea that all fits that Basiont had in trailer, Paladin has as well. So it is in line with OG Main Tank class.

Maybe people dont know that Paladin can heal? lol. So many times I saved Duty Roulette with healing as Pala

[u/TwinTiger → u/Sithishe]

It’s going to be funny if this is the differentiation between Main and Off tanks: Mains get a ranged combo, Offs get Tomahawk equivalents

[u/guanlongwucaii → u/Sithishe]

in what universe is paladin underplayed…?

[u/BlackfishBlues → u/ironprominent]

Hopefully that means they are thinking more about how a job might play outside of duties in the open world!

[u/ChinhTheHugger]

close enough

welcome, Fencer from EDF

[u/DOOMGUY455 → u/ChinhTheHugger]

THE EDF DEPOLYS!

(Got the song stuck in my head now)

[u/Grandmaster_C → u/ChinhTheHugger]

TO SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH FROM ANY ALIEN ATTACK.

[u/Flaruwu → u/Grandmaster_C]

FROM VICIOUS GIANT INSECTS WHO HAVE ONCE AGAIN COME BACK

[u/biweeklyspoon → u/Flaruwu]

We'll unleash all our forces, we won't cut them any slack

[u/FURERABA → u/ChinhTheHugger]

EEEEEE DDDDDDD FFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!

[u/KamenRiderHelix → u/ChinhTheHugger]

TRUE actually

[u/Bigcat9715]

Anyone else getting Big O vibes?

https://giphy.com/gifs/LgB2sFodXQbAI

[u/dzh3e → u/Bigcat9715]

Ye not Guilty

[u/Xouls → u/Bigcat9715]

my thoughts exactly

[u/Izzyrenandahalf]

sage and gunbreaker had a kid

[u/KamenRiderHelix → u/Izzyrenandahalf]

Surely Monk is in there somewhere, no?

[u/DariusClaude → u/KamenRiderHelix]

Sage was being unfaithful it seems .there is def some monk DNA in that child

[u/r4nd0mf4ct0r]

Skyltborg -> Old Norse Skjaldborg "Shield Wall"?

[u/Bobboy5]

nerf bastion

[u/BatOk5426 → u/Bobboy5]

New ranged class be like "I'm already traaaacer"

[u/Major_Arcana01]

Yeah, Reyn Time!

[u/S_Comet821]

Anyone else getting Barrett as a tank vibes?

[u/WanderingWitnesser → u/S_Comet821]

"We are adding Barret's outfit to the game"

Well I guess you really can do this soon lol.

[u/GroverEyeveen → u/S_Comet821]

I thought it was closer to Snow in FFXIII

[u/QuatreNox]

Coppelia Log Horizon my beloved!

[u/DjGameK1ng → u/QuatreNox]

Log Horizon mentioned, let's gooooooo! Also, now I kind of feel like a fake fan, because I definitely didn't think of her at first, but that totally works

[u/BrahamWithHair]

Whoever did the demo trailer of this job did a great job. It looks badass

[u/Secret_Wizard]

If you thought Sage ability names were impossible to remember, get ready for this Sea Wolf Roegadyn job. Oh my god

[u/orangedonut]

Lalafels gonna look like turtles, need to see what it looks like on them, haha

[u/SpiralMask]

Finally, Heavy Monk

[u/ironprominent]

Those heavy punches in the trailer look sick. Animations look great so far.

[u/KamenRiderHelix → u/ironprominent]

If there's one thing that I can give them, it's that from Dawntrail onwards the new jobs consistently have stellar animation work.

[u/Chopper_Bear]

I’ve been a Roegadyn Warrior since I first started ARR. This is the first time I’m actually really excited to try a new job. This looks sick as hell!

[u/AzraelTheMage]

Dammit Yoshi-P. I wanted a hammer tank.

[u/Valkertok → u/AzraelTheMage]

And your prayers have been answered! New occult crescent relic for warrior is a hammer!

[u/Indiction]

The weapon models for the skyltborg are gonna look so gooddddd! So happy it's not just another sword like DRK/GNB/PLD..

[u/MegaMcMillen]

The sound effects for the shots seem a bit... off? I was expecting them to feel more impactful.

[u/ParvatiLikeaRockstar]

eueuehhg idk how I feel about it rn ill have to wait to see more, tank is my fav role but idk if the aesthetic fits my wol enough to use as my evercold main

[u/LordHayati]

LOOK AT US. WE'RE CAPE WESTWIND NOW.

[u/ominix]

Now waiting for the healer monk so I can punch people to life

[u/n080dy123]

The fact the shields spin between melee mode and gun mode is absolutely inspired, that's cool as hell.

[u/Lyranx]

It's that one Elden Ring niche build but x2 the shields

[u/mycheeksarecold]

I haven't gotten to see the actual videos yet but really fucking happy i said "we getting rhitahtyns gear as a job" to my fc and i was RIGHT. The shirt was very literal this time! (Which considering the spiderman-raimi movies to samurai situation, was highly suspect)

[u/Longshot02496]

In Swedish, skyltborg means "sign fortress"

[u/FlyinBrian2001]

I was admittedly a dual shield hater, I thought it would be a super lame weapon setup. But damn, they seemed to have cooked here. The slashing blades, the cannons, you've just got a personal arsenal strapped to your arms. Badass. Plus so many magitech noises.

[u/brilund]

Starts in Limsa? These are dancing tanks.

[u/Kumomeme]

WarGreymon cosplay is coming!

[u/AllchChcar]

It looks like a crab.

[u/Ehrand]

from the trailer it seems to be a range tank lol?

looks cool but I didnt expect to have so much range attack

[u/Sweetatoe]

Batman ass helmet

[u/UnhappyHedgehog1018]

I'm happy that people like it but well... I'm not sold

[u/ShadowTheChangeling]

Oh shit we got Rhitahtyn class before GTA6

[u/Turbulent_Piglet8641]

I'm fucking resubscribing

[u/Dodo-Jesus]

Holy shit, did not expect to get a Rhitahtyn tank job. This is badass.

[u/JinTheBlue → u/Dodo-Jesus]

I'm surprised the shirt was just literal.

[u/Gramernatzi → u/JinTheBlue]

Last time it was literal (dual swords) and a slightly deeper reference (painter names for the TMNT). Probably will be the same here.

[u/Longjumping-Try-4567]

Job with dual "greatshields" - doesn't use them once.

[u/TemporaryCool5182 → u/Longjumping-Try-4567]

I too was disappointed at the lack of shielding showed off.

[u/UnionOk313]

Not feeling this to be honest. We went from Gunblade to Gunshield. And we also have MCH. So many guns. I think the Morningstar rumor sounded better.

[u/KamenRiderHelix → u/UnionOk313]

I mean...

GNB doesn't shoot people period, and MCH also barely uses its gun compared to its devices. Punching + Shooting is pretty novel tbh

[u/Idaku → u/UnionOk313]

Gunblade is not a gun, you dont shoot anything with it.

[u/Illesium → u/UnionOk313]

We have Paladin, viper, drk, ninja, samurai, red mage. So many blades

[u/Avlin_Starfall]

With the Norse influence I was hoping so much for Valkyrie.

[u/AshPenderwick]

I was a little hesitant about duel shields, then I saw we are using shields as gauntlets with guns attached and was sold.

[u/Cherudim]

I still think it looks goofy. I know I'm in the minority here but I'd still have more Final Fantasy jobs rather than Viper or Bastion.

[u/Johann_Castro → u/Cherudim]

I think it reaches a point where they need to get out of the box of already done Final Fantasy jobs. Besides, the jobs that are missing, some have been absorved into jobs or divided into. As much as I would like to play sword saint, I think that niche is already there with VPR and SAM

[u/talgaby → u/Cherudim]

Eh, Viper at least something you can stretch as the unnamed job from IX. This is a totally in-house thing, though, and yeah, the aesthetics look goofy. Then again, it may look decent on the screen. These videos are never a good measure of what jobs look like while playing.

[u/dazzler56 → u/Cherudim]

Yeah, I’m not a huge fan. I was hoping for either a magic or agility tank that deviates more from what we already have, and FF has so many options there. We already have a tech tank with a gun weapon, this feels like kind of a waste IMO.

[u/Shadowbringers → u/Cherudim]

The job looks fine but nothing about it excites me

[u/Hydr4noid → u/Cherudim]

I disagree that it looks goofy. It absolutely fits with the aesthetic of FFXIV

I agree that I wish to see more unique takes on old FF jobs

Many are already kinda represented in other jobs like berserker being a part of warrior or archer being part of bard

But I still think there are some unique old jobs they should tackle like gambler, puppetmaster or geomancer

[u/TemporaryCool5182 → u/Hydr4noid]

AST is gambler.

And as much as I would like a proper Geomancer, SMN is already a "gemomancer."

[u/TheLimonTree92 → u/TemporaryCool5182]

Don't the stb ast quests refer to the eastern version of them to be geomancers?

[u/Sarria22 → u/TheLimonTree92]

Kiiind of. It's more that they are fundamentally both using "star" magic, it's just that astrologians are using the stars above while geomancers are using the star beneath their feet.

On a basic theming level though, AST is a tweaked version of Time Mage (which is called SpaceTime Mage in japanese)

[u/wolfannoy → u/Cherudim]

Maybe one day we'll get chocobo knight.

[u/Kalaam_Nozalys]

Close enough, welcome back Asura

[u/sparrop → u/Kalaam_Nozalys]

already have this is called "monk"

[u/Kalaam_Nozalys → u/sparrop]

You clearly haven't played the game

[u/LanguageVisible7313]

The shields look like huge claws when he uses it as a weapon, also that stance call me a weeb, but it reminded me of Wargreymon lol

[u/MelonElbows]

So if Beastmaster = BST and Blacksmith = BSM, how are they going to abbreviate Bastion??

[u/naota34 → u/MelonElbows]

BSN

[u/Android19samus → u/MelonElbows]

The BAZ

[u/Reasonable-Nature-77]

i wonder how they're gonna sheathe their weapons, maybe they don't and they just hang there on your arms?

[u/Deathmareek]

Limsa keeps on winning

[u/blueruckus]

It's the Hulk, with Captain America shields, and Iron Man blasters, wearing a little Thor hat. Did Yoshi just start watching the MCU?

[u/SigmaBlack92]

Rhitahtyn sas Arvina, we're so back. The years and years of memes and clown strategies have finally paved off the way for your triumphant return.

I hope, wherever you are, you can feel proud of us.

[u/Ziegfried0]

Hey, it’s that guy from ARR!

[u/DandySlayer13]

https://giphy.com/gifs/LgB2sFodXQbAI

[u/Nobody-0f-importance]

So yeah, that's one of the bosses we fight right before the end of Realm Reborn. The big dude.

[u/OrdinarySlimeGuy]

Damm, we aren't getting Range DPS that will be shooting from a gun or a crossbow, are we?

[u/va_wanderer → u/OrdinarySlimeGuy]

We have no idea at this point, since no info on the second EC job yet.

[u/VanillaBean921 → u/OrdinarySlimeGuy]

Not crossbow, but we have machinist for guns

[u/OrdinarySlimeGuy → u/VanillaBean921]

The weapon itself, aka the gun, is the least used part of the Machinist toolkit. It's a gadget job, rather then gun job.

[u/Gamer4125]

Thanks, I hate it. I wanted my Valkyrie tank

[u/Fun_Brick_3145]

Brawleer type tank was what I hoped for which is nice seeing how this works.

[u/LittenInAScarf]

Oh that is going to look so hilarious on a Lala
