Why did you choose your job?

I level them all for the sake of completion, but I ended up playing:
- Red Mage, because it's very easy and allows me to pay attention to mechanics without screwing up my rotation. In Stormblood, it also had access to role skills that made it feel like a proper support job, too.
- Gunbreaker, because I loved (past tense, sob) the sound effects, and it's both simple and fun. It's also the tank with the weakest class fantasy, which sounds negative except none of the other tanks' fit my character, so it's actually a good thing.

As for my alt:
- Dancer, because its unique gimmick is really fun, and its burst phase is really hectic. The animations are amazing too ! Blood Shower is probably my favourite skill in the game. Super flashy, yet elegant.
- Samurai, because of a really cool outfit I found, and the best balance of fun of complexity when it comes to melee jobs. Really satisfying, sharp sound effects too.

If the rumors concerning the next two jobs end up having any truth to them at all, then I will switch to Gunbreaker / Machinist / Chemist for a trinity with a common identity, and Red Mage / Summoner / Geomancer on my alt, once again so all my jobs have a matching theme, traditional Viera mage. It would come with the added benefit of having to dedicate less time to my alt's gear if all her jobs use the same set.
