Okay please correct me here, I need to know if this is true or not. I have a buddy IRL who I know pre-ordered the game, and he was in Closed beta since stage 1 or whatever- and he likes to exaggerate a lot. I went looking for myself on forums to see if there was anything about this, but he told me that the game has "hidden classes" that can be unlocked.
Â Is this true????

There are advanced classes/jobs that can be unlocked my leveling two of the starting classes up to specific levels. One at 30 and one at 15, I think.

That may be what he is referring to.

Khaze'to Zhwan · **08-20-2013, 12:31 PM**

Not that I am aware of, I didn't play 1.0 but I've been in the beta since phase 2 and have not heard anything about it. Â I doubt there are hidden classes but could he be talking about the job system?

Bahh Ninja'd by the mighty waffle slayer and they are correct it is one class to 30 and another to 15 that will "unlock" the job. These are your classic FF jobs like dragoon, black mage and white mage.

EveyVorai · **08-20-2013, 12:36 PM**

I did hear about what could be done at level 30 and the cross classing system seems pretty damn cool.

He did play 1.0 so I dunno much about that since I didn't play it myself. He said that there were classical classes that were hidden in the game that could be unlocked, and one of them he said was Redmage -and I got pretty excited but I'm -really- not sure if I believe him. That's what I wanted to ask from more experienced players or if anyone could confirm this.

There aren't any hidden classes, but there are Jobs which you unlock by leveling certain classes. For example, leveling Thaumaturge to 30, and I believe it's Arcanist to 15, unlocks the Black Mage Job. These aren't completely separate from Classes however, more like specialized versions of them. Black Mage for example has all of the Thaumaturge spells and abilities but gains five new spells only useable as Black Mage.

The lists of these jobs are: Monk, Dragoon, Warrior, Black Mage, White Mage, Scholar, Summoner, and Bard. Unfortunately no Red Mage yet.

EveyVorai · **08-20-2013, 12:37 PM**

Alright that makes much more sense

Reppu · **08-20-2013, 12:38 PM**

Odds are he was talking about the unlocked Jobs, yeah.

Yeah, you're right not to believe him. I played 1.0 and there was nothing of that sort that I ever saw. Sounds like he's just messing with you.

When the game officially launched there were only Gladiator, Marauder, Pugilist, Thaumaturge, Conjurer, and the various DoH classes. It wasn't until later that the advanced jobs were introduced.

EveyVorai · **08-20-2013, 12:42 PM**

Thank you for confirming this for me, I had my doubts and I was right. xD I'm gonna tell him he's full of it next time he starts rambling on. It's a bad habit he likes to exaggerate all the time. Tall tales and such. Thanks guys!

There was a Musketeer's guild in 1.0, but they wouldn't let us in. Something about our shoes not getting in the club.

Same goes for Arcanists, but they got in at 2.0, obviously.

That said, I would expect red mage, beastmaster, thief/ninja and other classes like that down the line.

I would love to see the thief class make a return. I've just come to consider that almost a requirement in any good RPG and it feels odd that FFXIV ARR is lacking it.

One of the FF wikis shows musketeer signs and talks of a musketeer guild in limsa, also you can already see these musketeer signs on the tower where also the marauder guild resides.
As limsa only has 2 clases so far (and the other 3) and taking these signs into account, i strongly, strongly believe we gte a musketeer class as next one. Probably with a later patch.

That's been there for almost 3 years now and they added Arcanist in before Musketeer, so it's not clear when they'll add Musketeer, just that they will.

I do know there have been talks for Red Mage and the like coming to FFXIV eventually. But like more summons for the summoners, I would think they might introduce them when the level cap rises.

EveyVorai · **08-20-2013, 03:14 PM**

What would be really cool is if they did it sort of like FF Tactics where you leveled up certain jobs and then unlocked more and more. A good example is This Page I found earlier.

Pugilist > Monk > Geomancer > Dancer etc etc. Would be pretty cool. Ah one can dream though, can't they?
