Bummer. The ixal ones are proving to be a great way to level lower level crafting jobs like cul/alc that are annoying to level compared to the other ones. Trying to make use of road to 60 while I still have it

Moogle Tribe and Namazu tribes are a lot less annoying for leveling crafters, once you get to 50 and 60 respectively. Ixial always annoyed me because a) those stupid gloves you had to put on to craft b) the fact it wasn't pure craft...you usually had to swap between combat class and crafter class c) the XP is low per quest because it was designed for you to do a bunch of quests every day.
In HW and SB, they streamlined the crafter tribe quests where you only can do 3 a day (and one-time bonus 3 if you unlocked a new rep tier), but they give much more XP per quest. You'll get like over a 1/3rd of a level from a daily quest run and over half with the one-time bonus tier unlocks.
In SB I leveled my mining, botany, carpentry, and goldsmith all the way to 70 normally...then the beast tribe unlocked and I was able to get everything else to 70 pretty easy.

Lmao so true. Also think the French Fanfest is this weekend. Hopefully they will announce new job. Rumor has it will be a dancer (healer) and gunlance (tank).

Next weekend, february 2nd.
If they follow the usual pattern, they'll announce whatever the Gunblade class is, as well as show some slides on how it works(magitek cartridges, mostly melee but ranged potential or whatever, is a tank etc, just some ideas), show a short 40-50secs video of some of the skills and possibly their LB3. Then they'll discuss some features of the expansion, generally the "big" new feature, in HW it was flying, in SB it was swimming(which turned out to be whatever), not sure what it'll be in ShB. Perhaps Trusts is what they'll use as their main new big feature, or something else. They'll show a couple new zones probably, same short teaser as last time, and probably start discussing either the 24man or 8man theme, as well as a glimpse of the Nu Mou primal. Also Yoshi-P will probably be wearing a T-shirt that is a hint for the next class, but it won't be confirmed until later.
This is more or less what you should expect from this fanfest, not more than that, if they stick to their usual pattern. The 3rd fanfest in japan will have much more meat on its bones, and then live letters inbetween that and the expansion release will show a lot more.

It wasn't the first time I had seen someone call it that so I got confused and thought it wasn't a typo.

I mean gunblade is the weapon I don't think the class will be called gunblade, that sounds kinda dumb. People were saying it'd be Soldier and it could definitely be something military sounding if the lore is basically "here's some Empire defectors, they're gonna teach you how they train for war over there" kind of thing. Just might as well refer to it as Gunblade until we know the real class name.

That makes a lot of sense lore wise having some of the Empire's defectors teach the class.

I'll never get why people like VIII. I'll give them credit for trying to innovate a whole bunch of stuff, but it felt like throwing actual shit at a wall and hoping some stuck and looked good.

Hell, they could just pull the lore directly from XIII about magitek for why a Garlean race/Hyur-clan could use "magick."
