Class Struggle

[blackmage_nuke]

So far we've had multiple Fighters (Firion, Cloud, Squall, Tidus, Lightning), a thief (Zidane), a blackmage-esque (Terra), and a dark knight/paladin (cecil) class main character.
But there are many classes who've yet to have a chance in the spotlight

Assuming an FF without a some sort of guided class system (Ie classes may be alterable but its quite clear what everyone is meant to be, like in FFX), what class would you like the next main character of FF to be?

I still think Geomancer should have a chance to shine, or maybe Whitemage can break free from it's stereotypical second female main lead role and get the main lead for a change.

Also discuss how Strange it is that the second main character class they forced (Dark Knight) seems to be the least prominent for the rest of the series

Why not a Ninja? That would seem perfect for an FF game.

[escobert]

Blue Mage! :D

[ShinGundam]

Martial arts/Monk or Samurai.

[Shorty]

Ranger!

[Del Murder]

A ninja lead would be pretty badass.

[Sephex]

I would like to control a Red Mage type character.

[Jiro]

Blue Mage. Make them the main character so people learn to appreciate them.

Hell, any mage. Mage them feeble and need guardians but fucking powerful mages.

[Mercen-X]

Mage them feeble and need guardians but smurfing powerful mages.Now THERE is a pun.

[Jiro]

Whoops :monster:

[Raistlin]

More black mages, because they're my favorite class.

Other good ideas: ninja, pirate, archer/ranger. And maybe even an underused class like bard.

[Faris]

Just kidding. Black mage main would be interesting.

[Jinx]

If they made the main character a Blue Mage, I would not play that game for that very reason.

[Wolf Kanno]

Blue Mage, cause it is one of my favorite classes and could be pretty awesome incorporating his acquisition of spells in the story. Especially if they make the Blue Mage story like how they are portrayed in FFXI.

[Mercen-X]

Oh, that's right. We already have Chocobo's Dungeon.

A ninja lead would be pretty badass.Let's not have to be a thief beforehand though.
