The whole ARR thing made me think of pirates ("Arr!"), which in turn reminded me of them musketeers in Limsa and everyone thinking that this would be the next job/class/thing we'd get in some future patch or expansion.
Since I've been out of the loop for a long time, I gotta ask... Has there EVER been any word on that? Or on any new class/job/thing, for that matter.
I mean if Final Fantasy Tactics had 19 of em, surely we could afford a few more! ^^
Musketeer is still under speculation at the moment and is currently not playable within the game yet. The only new class/job that has been confirmed so far is Arcanist/Summoner along with some other unannounced class that we will see in the future.
Now to go off topic abit ""This pure speculation on my part"" but there is a good chance that Musketeer will be that unannounced class available at launch. Do I have any cold hard proof? No, not really... but given the puzzle pieces they've laid before us, I can take a strong guess at least. They have confirmed that in ARR your starting city will be based on your starting class so that you will start close to your classes respective guild. Example: Conjurer starts in Gridania because their guild The Stillglade Fane is there. Anyways, if you do a bit of research, you'll notice each city state has 2 battle guilds and 1 mage guild. It also is setup in a way that for "early levels" and I quote that strongly. One of the battle classes can act as a tank, the other a damage dealer and one as a mage.
Gridania: Lancer= Tank, Archer= Damage Dealer, Conjurer= Mage.
Ul'dah: Gladiator= Tank, Pugilist= Damage Dealer, Thaumaturge= Mage.
Limsa: Marauder= Tank, Musketeer???= Damage Dealer?, Arcanist= Mage.
Going by that list, all of the cities would have a proper balance of starting classes... That is if they add Musketeer to the roster... As it stands right now, Limsa is short one battle class and they already have a respective guild for the class that isn't there. So I may be just be talking nonsense (And I am to a large degree.) But I feel there is a very high chance that you'll see Musketeer at launch.
