The Machinist was introduced with the award-winning Heavensward Expansion, and it tragically has the same limitations other Jobs from that expansion have. And it's up to you to prove that his new art or combat is worth its money or not. Utilizing the famed gunner skills of Limsa Lominsa's pirates and the technical marvels of Garlean engineering, the Machinist is born who can utilize their own aetheric energies to fuel their tools in combat. The Machinist finds its origin in Ishgard where brilliant engineers are looking for new ways to combat dragons. The player character is actually one of the first proper Machinists and you help to develop this new art of combat, the art of shooting things with a gun. While some jobs like the Red Mage or Paladin have long and proud traditions to look back to, the Machinist is a rather new discipline. In Final Fantasy XIVs lore, they are the odd ones out in terms of Jobs. Which range from a chainsaw blade-thrower to a regular flamethrower all the way to a miniature Gundam with self-destruction capabilities. But the Machinist is defined by their usage of different tools on the battlefield. They share some common elements, namely the part in which they shoot a gun.

Just don't worry too much about the practical application of Flamethrower, Square Enix hasn't either and I'm pretty sure it's only in the game as a Job exclusive emote at this point.įinal Fantasy XIVs version of the Machinist is a blend of the classic Machinist Job from Final Fantasy IV as well as the Gunner from Final Fantasy VII. And did we mention you get a robot that can do rocket punches? That visual alone makes it worth bringing! All of its abilities are just incredibly snappy, look amazing and there's just the coolness factor of shooting a gun while doing backflip Mc-Twists. Sounds stressful but Machinist is one of the most fun jobs to just pick up and play. Machinist is next to Ninja one of the busiest jobs in the game, you're constantly juggling resources and cooldown timers under the gun of a timer. It does bring damage, especially with the recent buffs to the job, Machinist is in a great spot if you can take the heat. The Machinist is the physical ranged counterpart to Black Mage, while it doesn't bring much to the party outside of two party-wide defensive buffs. If you listen to the online discourse around Final Fantasy XIV and the current job balance, then you might get the impression that Machinist isn't as impressive as its ranged brethren.
