Why make a new thread when there's already a speculation thread?

It's standing on a Rune, so could easily be Runic Knight.

I'm speculating Runic Knight as the name too. Geomancer has been requested so often I'm saying SE is going to take another frequently requested ability and make a job that can finally use a Celes-esque Runic JA. And we'll have another entry into the hilariously long list of abilities appropriate for RDM that SE used to create a whole new job.

Agreed. When me and the LS mates saw the silhouettes last night that was my first guess, our other guess though was "Squidmancer" since we thought that the other one could have been holding a giant squid and not a sword..

Mystic Knight seems more likely though.

i'm thinkin mystic knight or runic knight (whichever it will be called) isn't going to be something to replace or screw rdm. i'm thinkin it could be a new tank/dd job to compete with pld maybe. just speculation though

Because this isn't bg?

[Zumi]

I am thinking Runic Knight now.

I wonder if they'll go with Spellblade as the job's name. That is the most recent name used for the Mystic Knight; it was in 2008's FF Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift.

A year before that, neither Mystic Knight or Runic Knight were in War of the Lions (there's no direct representation of the job, which involves dealing elemental damage with sword attacks), but Beowulf is a Templar whose abilities are called Spellblade.

Out of those names (Mystic Knight, Runic Knight, Spellblade, and Templar), I strongly prefer Runic Knight or Templar. Spellblade just has negative connotations with FFTA2's incredibly shallow job system for me. You know, the job system where BLM has a total of 9 spells.

Then there's another issue: what would Mystic Knight be doing in this game? RDM already has sword enchantment spells. Maybe Mystic Knight would turn its attacks into that element completely, rather than just added effect.
