Voted "Other" as well.

As said above, I just play a guy who knows how to handle and sword & bow. That's really all there is to him.

Raeje · **04-20-2016, 12:40 PM**

I play Raeje as her job: a bard, because she does poetry, and music, and is a performer. It fits her better than her class, which is more of her life's background/fluff.
As for Chrys, I use none of it. He's also a performer, but he's more of a comedy performer, so not really a bard.

In the context of the game Jobs, yeah he wouldn't be, but it's fun to imagine ways in which the song could be performed. I don't know much about how Bard songs worked; I always figured magic infused morale boosting. If it's just boosting you allies with souped up performance, maybe the performance type matters less than the feeling it expresses? It's just an idea.

Mia Moui · **04-20-2016, 03:01 PM**

Mia isn't an adventurer and I don't roleplay her as being a part of a specific class or having a job.

She travels Eorzea doing whatever it takes to finance her continued search for her sisters. Â Sometimes this is bounty hunting, sometimes it's cleaning fish, sometimes it's trying to slaughter giant wayward buffaloes.

I imagine her being an interesting background character but not anyone of significance. She believes that she's wanted by law enforcement for some of her deeds, but she's not even that important.

If she was in a movie, she'd be a character that interacted with one of the support characters to the protagonist. Â The audience might desire that they could learn more about her or her story but the camera and the cast moves on.

tl;dr she works odd jobs

Ravean Blutsinger · **04-20-2016, 07:06 PM**

I debated what to vote for it was either class or other, but in the end, I voted other, as I am one of the few stubborn few who kept my char a 1.0 oriented thaumaturge in character, to keep to her roots.

This actually made things quite interesting in RP about politics and debate as thanks to the letters we got in 1st year anniversary it gives a bit of an interesting story. My character despised the Sultana now for her actions of altering the thaumaturge guild, viewing her as weakening Ul'dah, makes her look at those who train under the lalafells in charge now as weaker mages who desire to chase the black.

I also have quite a love to the 1.0 astral and umbral spells, and just couldn't see this duality removed from my character. I made sure to keep a solid list of these abilities before the 1.23 change so I always have reference to them, and I like when they pop up in game, confirming that they still exist in lore (Banish, Banish III for example).

All in all, Ravusa refers to herself as a 'thaumaturge' or a previous 'priestess of nald'thal', only because she is loyal to the old ways and to the old guild she used to be part of, despite learning more from when she first started and having much more knowledge under her belt from all those years.

Grave · **04-20-2016, 07:16 PM**

I personally voted "Job" for Tristen, though I came close to picking the "I made it up option" due to the fact that I've elaborated a lot on what being a Monk/Fist of Rhalgr means to him.

Basically, he is a ol'Monk who favors not only the Destroyer, but all Twelve Gods as a whole, acting like a proper holy man would by assisting the poor, sick, and generally just about anyone willing to let him.

So long story short, I use a 'Job' for him but with my own ideals and practices associated with it.

***Teadrinker*** · **04-20-2016, 07:19 PM**

What of AST, DRK, MCH?

Class/Job in terms of voting? I'd say job but playing a MCH is very different from say...any kind of mage and will skew results.

Andromeda · **04-21-2016, 01:33 PM**

I haven't gone so far as to invent a Job Crystal or anything, though that might be a fun Photoshop adventure, but I consider Andromeda to be inching closer to becoming a proper Final Fantasy Thief. At present, she's still considered a Rogue ICly, but given her interests, history and the fact that Ninja doesn't really suit her IC, a Thief would be a good way to go about this.

I'm curious, how taboo would it be to create a Job Crystal for a Final Fantasy job that isn't in XIV? How lorebreaking, particularly if very little of the lore behind it is explored in preparation for one eventually potentially being implemented?

***GhostlyMaiden*** · **04-21-2016, 02:30 PM**

Nanagi is easy to explain. She learned the ways of a Thaumaturge and because of the abundance of Aether in her, was fairly strong. When certain plot circumstances came along, she had to undergo the teachings of Black Magic. She isn't a master, nor is she a novice. She'll only use Black Magic when it is necessary (can't use her own preserves, casting a stronger spell, etc). For simplicity reasons, I say she is primarily a Thaumaturge.

Kanako on the other hand is a bit more tricky. She could be classified as just a civilian OR a fighter (class). She is primarily a merchant and use her honeyed words to get out of situations that could lead to fights. However, if a circumstance were to arise where she would ave to fight, she'll do it and have the mindset of being the one who comes out on top. Back in her caravan, she learned from a hunter how to use a lance. With a lot of practice, teachings from her hunter teacher, and close friend, she became fairly adept with fighting with a lance. She is mostly self taught and will sometimes use techniques you wouldn't usually see. She is a lancer.

Chip · **04-21-2016, 03:58 PM**

Azrael is by no means a "Disciple of War/Magic" at heart, and when you take away his tainted aether and leave him like he used to be as Chip, he is most likely the in-game class of Fisher. The boy does display bestial traits and seems incredibly violent, but these powers come from his tainted aether which is actually not a part of his true nature.

Asher is definitely the in-game class of Rogue. He uses stabbers as he pleases and sneaks around enough to make proper use of, well, Stealth. He also was part of the Rogue's Guild in his past. Had to make coin somehow!

Endel is an ex-Temple Knight so he falls under in-game class of Lancer. Obviously. Not to mention he joined the Lancer's Guild in Gridania for a time, undertaking levequests as a means of income.

Cyneler would be a Paladin due to him being in the order (aka the sultansworn)
however he is also a Flames solder. he chose the path of the paladin due to a oath his Adopted father made him take before he died to never use the sword and shield for vengeance but to defend the weak.

Kilieit · **04-21-2016, 07:48 PM**

As far as the version of them you'll meet during public RP is concerned, the huge majority of my characters fall into the "class" box.

The exceptions are Caiden, who is an archaeologist first and foremost; and Liuthas, who I think may become a free paladin.

Aghurlal has three "classes", but they're all... classes: lancer, rogue, and fisher. Confiance also has two classes (conjurer and arcanist).

Cinu-a is broadly a "marauder"; he fights with an axe, even if he wasn't taught by the Yellowjackets. Likewise, Y'Trinity's fighting style is well within the bounds of the "archer" class, even though she wasn't taught in Gridania. Medic is a classic conjurer, Shuukami is a classic thaumaturge.

Askier · **04-22-2016, 03:31 PM**

Lol.

Personally I've never played my characters as any sort of in game class. I'm mean I guess Askier was technically a MCH before the class was around but even when the class came out I kept him as his own thing.Â

I've never built my characters around in game classes. I just sort of pick the one closest to their move set and run with it.

Example. Hojo is a warrior class but other than the axe I would have trouble saying he is a warrior IC when you break down how the class works in game. He doesn't rage or go berserk and he is never fighting inner rage like the Job quest line indicates. Shoot, Hojo could be also part Â MCH considering he packs an arsenal that Boba Fett would approve of.Â

So I just run with the concept of my character and don't let Realm's jobs define me. I'm just hipster like that. Xp

As'elena · **04-24-2016, 06:04 AM**

While my original character was just a Paladin, I went with ''other'' for As'elena because she's a bit of a jack of all trades.

She is heavily influenced by Lominsian life and work and is mostly seen using a sword and a pistol. She is neither a Gladiator or a Machinist however.

Due to how she was raised she has a certain knowledge of magic as well and while she makes no habit to use it, she does have the ability to.

Because of what my glamour and general RP outfit looks like (This being a Lominsian NPC uniform) people call me ''Red Mage'' a lot, and after reading up on what a red mage is, it does sound a lot like what As'elena is. She doesn't strictly use black or white magic at all, but she comes awfully close to the concept of a Red Mage apparently.
