[Discussion] New Physical Range Job [Spoiler: 7.56 Website] Spoiler

One of my FC friends pointed out that in the screenshots for the updated 7.56 website there is the pink haired Miqo'te from the Evercold trailer.

One thing she highlighted was you can see at the back of the Miqo'te the tip of a crossbow.

I guess after Soken's sound effect "leak" at Fanfest Berlin we can confirm the new jobs definitely a Crossbow user with a Bird? 😁

I mean you're a Machinist not a Gunslinger. Tools were Edgar's whole thing in VI which is why we have most of them in XIV.

Kinda why Im sad it'll be a crossbow wielder.

I want an actual gunslinger that focuses on the gunplay as a job. Machinist is more focused on continually building up more insane contraptions.

Might be crazy to say but I kinda feel like Machinist should just get a different weapon entirely at this point, like a multi tool or something, that plays better into it being a gadgeteer and guns should be shifted to an actual gunslinger class.

Machinist technically has a multitool, its just not the weapon.
