One of my characters even knows the arts of a 'Job' now.My guess is that they're holding back on that because if they were to make another example, people would take it as confirmation that that Job is going to be a gameplay element.
What interests me the most is the part of the New Disciplines entry that states there are emerging new 'Jobs' and Mechanist is simply the most prominent.
What other new disciplines are out there? I would love if the lore book stated some other examples even if those 'Jobs' are less prominent.
Moreover this confirms the fact that not only are Soul Crystals found, but they're also potentially created continually, as they serve as both methods to record, and pass on techniques as well as objects to learn from.
This also hints into the fact that no two Soul Crystals are identical, providing roleplayers onus to produce some variance in Job techniques, especially in the case of lore specific skills like Blood of the Dragon, which is listed as specific only to the Azure Dragoon.Â
Seriously though, this is great for the RPC, but it does not satisfy my want to dig more into the lore of Adventurer Culture itself. I'm still going to be looking for screens while on the waiting list for my own copy of the Lorebook to try to glean more info on how Adventurers have developed and live their lives in Eorzea and beyond. There's so much we don't know about the Adventurer's Guild, for instance. But this piece of info I thought would be really beneficial to the RPC as a whole.
Edit:
As far as the inclination that this will add fuel to the fire. That depends on whether or not people can make the leap from the specific Job Order storylines implying exclusivity, and the now revealed fact that the attempts to replicate these techniques are occurring regardless of attempts to obscure them.
What it really boils down to, at this point is that each individual roleplayer of a job will likely need to write a backstory or do roleplays displaying how they came upon these techniques - same as before. However, this provides an official backdrop of canon to work from - rather than pure speculation.
