I'm betting that the Dancer will be one of the next jobs. You just know they're looking for a reason to put Mitrha in a revealing outfit!

ok, lets see here...

1. Norg was introduced in the last expansion, being a pirate city and all.

2. I heard something about "portable rafts" being introduced. (can anyone confirm this?)

3. On the post below, the rumor about pirate class.

Hypotosis: New flag quest in Norg, giving you the ability to become a pirate.

skillz: helps the rafting/boating and new "plunder" skill. (sort of like thief, but different some way, those crazy SOBs at SE will think of somethin! ;) )

There is also a pirate gun...but then again, thats wierd that it would have that title and not be part of the AF gear for the class. Perhaps "shwasbuckler"?? (or how ever you spell it, im uber 1337 at splining :p).

So yea, if the class is introduced, DIBS ON NAME "JackSperrow"!!!!!!!!

Granted, it IS only a hypotosis, but i can dream!!! "~_~"

P.S. does anyone else know of any reason they could add the pirate class??

if you look at the opening picture of taznavia in the Chains of Promathia homepage you see that that scene, is from the opening movie of FFXI, it's where the kid was "holding" the city in between his thumb and forefinger. This expansion was definately in the works for a very long time.

there getting greedie at SE if they wont put new jobs ingame. Makes expantion wortheless to me if only put new areas/quests/monsters. seems they will get away with it to like in eq , planetside.
<me> wheeps in sorrow :(

Without actual proof that SE has said, "There will be no new Jobs," I will have to continue to listen to rumors and hope.

That being said, there has been a rumor flying around Fenrir that the new jobs would be BlueMage, TimeMage and Pirate.

We've all heard about blue mage before, but I would be really interested to know exactly what a Time mage can do... and Pirate, seems a little far fetched to me.

Actually, if you read the Fablinix's adventure at FFXI's site, you might notice that Fablinix the goblin is searching for Movalpolos, the new area. This probably means that Square Enix has this expanion in mind from months ago!

Please post if there are any information to new job, skills, weapon, armor or new game features. I really hope they would finally let people upgrade their linkshells to something more like a clan.

me and my ls buddies were talking, there should be two new mages: a geomancer and a blue mage, a blue mage should have the ability to acquire enemies abilities as such in the old game, and the geomancer could use special abilities based on the type of area they're in, ice, forest, plain, desert, etc. also, what we were talking about was that the mages should have a new ability (doesn't include SMN), they should be able to scribe spells that they already know, and each spell scribed would require a certain ink and type of parchment/leather, and some inks and leather would be better than others and to scribe the spell, you would need at least the minimum grade of ink and leather to scribe it on, or else you fail automatically, and even at the mininmum you fail, but the higher the grade of leather and ink it is, the less chance you have at failing, good idea? this way, mages could somehow earn their living, as it is a very hard job due to all the spells needed

..additional secrets will be discovered in the intricately designed expansion, Chains of Promathia. The expansion will be available on CD-ROM and will not be available for download.

Does that mean that PS2 players wont be able to play the expansion?

This was an obvious expansion as earlier this year Square Enix Registered "Chains of Promathia" which on the page SOMEWHERE(not sure where) promathia I believe was a Beastman god... (If i remember correctly) wonder if thats what the Moblins are digging for :S anyway I believe info will slowly be unveiled, I mean, they want as much hype as possible, but until they balance things etc... make them final they can't say much, but it's obvious those areas are very developed IMO... meaning they are pretty far along... ... BUT WHY THE FALL? I already can't wait T_T

Anyone know the price of the expansion to current FFXI players? It lists prices for the FFXI on PC and PS2, but they include the main game. Is there a seperate price for just the expansion?

i think they will introduice the blue mage , but rumors say that the blue mage will allready be in an update in this summer
all speculation though :x
if anyone can confirm it please do ^^

Yes, I'm happy to hear about the expansion, but what are the details?

I'm gussing not much released...
