The Job Classes That Might Have Been

[ChibiInuYasha]

Think FFX2 is kinky enough? HA! In the December Issue of Official US Playstation Magazine, Nakazawa admits Square was originally going to put a "French Maid" Dress Sphere. A job class in which you pay the girls to attack a la Yojimbo. Kinky enough for ya? Speaking of Job Classes that were left out, what are some you would have liked to see?
I say Blitzer (attacks with a blitzball, comes with all of Wakka's Reels) and Lancer. How 'bout you?

[SephirothsAngel]

I would also say Lancer. I also wanted a Summoner class, but it's not possible. :( Also I was thinking a Monk or something with barefists and maybe a Mimic.

[katana]

Stripper. Uh, I mean, ninja. Yeah, FFX needed a ninja class. I geuss Rikku kind of counted, but her attack sucked.

[Shayo]

how about red mage if they dont have one which im pretty sure they dont

[eternalshiva]

Did you know that the costume designer originally thought about a French Maid costume? rotfl

[robfinalfantasy]

I must admit that FFX-2 was a bit lacking in the job department. Favored classics such as Monk, Red Mage, Dragoon, and Ninja were nowhere to be found. With the addition of those 4 the game might have been perfect. Square also did something that I did not like. They ruined the Berserker job. The whole point of this character is so that you don't ever have to tell him/her what to do. By allowing you to "control" the Berserker they defeat the whole purpose of the class. Square removed the spirit of the Berserker. It was what made it such a cool class.

French Maid would've been cool and funny as hell. I'm pissed that they left Psychicer and Festivalgoer out of our version, too. They look so fun. Blitzer would've been cool- but other than that, I think as far as dresspheres go we didn't need anymore. Summoner would have been fun- but as we all know, it wouldn't have worked with the storyline since Yevon has dissipated. Red Mage kinda lost its purpose- Back Mage can do everything a Red Mage can. Lancer... meh. Dragoon... pssh. Ninja... bleh. Monk, Mimic... eh.

[Lord Xehanort]

Geomancer... oh wait, they have something like that... I think. Power derived from nature. I may be wrong.

[Erdrick the Hero]

what i would of loved to see was a dressphere that allowed you to combine other dressphere into one big ball and then you could be uber awesometastic

[Vermachtnis]

We need a dragoon. A dragoon would've been great. Dragoon are always the best kind of class, I mean look at Kain.
They should've put something like in FF5, where you learn stuff from one job and switch to another.

[Proxy]

Dragoon/Lancer
A Monk would be sweet.
And Ansem, yes, its called Berserker.

[Halenite]

I think the designers of FF X-2 wanted to make a fairly unique job classes which is why the left out the dragoon and geomancer.

[arcdragon9]

I agre that Dragoon, Ninja, and a few other would have been sweet.

[SpiritWolf]

I would have liked to see Dragoon and Ninja job classes in the game as well.

[Halenite]

Although Berserker is similar to the geomancer.

[Penance99999]

A Dark mage.

with forbidden abilities such as:

ultima
flare
meteor
metron
holy
quake
tornado

one mp cost
magic booster
auto reflect
auto shell
reflect x2 (like in FF9!!)
mp absorb


What do you think? I hated having to use that stupid meddigo grid just to use ultima and flare. They should have made something with those moves. It would have been the best DS.

[unknown88]

interesting ds Penance99999, could be a nice advanced job.

Though an assassin would of really rocked, cause all type of status ailments and use ultima. :)

[zacks_clone]

The beserker was ruined,i agree...but it did probly slip from its title of Beserker, to male fanservice ( seeing how all of the girls are practicaly naked...)

i would have loved to see a dragoon,or lancer.Blitzer would have been pretty cool.

[Old Manus]

A capturer-whatsit so you can "call on friendly critters" to help ya out.
Which also means you can equip whips and chains.... ;)

[celtcknight]

How about politician dressphere

you change dresses into a suit and tie and a podium comes from out of the ground and you procede to persuade the enemy not to attack and give up some items. The more advanced you are the rare items are dropped

And when you maxout the dresssphere you can persuade enemies to follow you to your next campaign.

[Penance99999]

Yeah assassin would be cool to have.

I'm thinking of these abilities: (strike abilities automatically added to your normal attack ;) )

Death strike
Poison strike
confuse strike
Stone strike
Full break
Quick hit
Assassinate (auto death strike to ANYTHING that you attack from behind)
All or Nothing (converts Def stat to STR and can surpass your str beyond 255).

Ribbon
Back guard (prevents ambush)


Don't know why an assassin would possess ultima?

[EternalBahamut]

How about Chocobo dressphere

[MateriaBladeVII]

Do you mean a Chocobo rider dressphere? Cuz Chocobo would be weird by itself...

[unknown88]

For some odd reason they do have it. Though its cool. If assassins ever gotten status I think they should have the highest speed in a dressphere, good power and for not making it too strong below average hp. That sounds good to me (sees girls in assassin suits :D )

[Penance99999]

Yeh they should have auto haste and counter attack. what was I thinking! ultima just seems wierd. I wouldn't complain though!

[skatehippie]

Well I'd just like to point out some things:

Yes the Berserker class changed, but I really really loved it. Think about it, you have the berserk ability at least, and the costumes are barbaric almost, giving that primal instinct sort of look, which would cover the Geomancer theme to some degree.

And about the ninja class, yes it seems to be a classic job BUT, they covered that quite nicely with the Berserker. How? Well, each girl has their own unique fighting style.

Yuna: Acts like an animal in a pouncing position. This style can be related to lots of traditial Martial Art styles, based around the tiger and other cat-like animals.

Rikku: Oh comon ain't it obvious?? It's Capioera! Probably my favorite type of martial arts. It's a Brazilian style of fighting/dancing. Eddy Gordo and Christie Montiero use this style in the Tekken games.

Paine: From what I can tell, her style is that of boxing/kickboxing.

Dragoon would have been nice...
And I thought the Gun Mage was a variant of a Red Mage? ...I dunno
