There is the pseudo tank Cecil in IV but he still makes use of the Darkness ability which either deals aoe damage at the cost of HP or augments his physical attacks at the cost of HP (depends on version).

And then there is the Final Fantasy Dimensions version which is still heavily offensive based but has a provoke like ability as well.

Really, im not seeing any others on the wiki page, all other appearances are entirely offensive based.

Dark Knight also used scythes in FFXI. Something they have never used prior and since. So...there's that. Everything is subjected to changes.

Just adding more images (I know some folks have posted some).

Mention that it will be a parry/dodge/magic tank.

Am I the only one that is super excited about drk tank?... In FFXI it was a powerhouse of a tank when properly equipped and it's one of the reasons I loved it.

There's always a first time. Was there any paladin in the series that didn't have a decent heal?

Hell, thief was always on the same tier of whms, blms, wars, etc but it got shoved into the remnant of tanaka's 1.00 class system, technically making it a lower tier than the jobs I mentioned.

If they're slowly phasing out the class system, the thie-, err I mean rogue class will be phased out and they'll be gone (ripip thief lovers because ninja will have thief's iconic skill still). If they keep it as is, the system just got even more confusing.

You aren't alone, I'm really looking forward to playing as DRK. Never played it much in FFXI, but it was quite fun to play as when I had time for it.

You do realize it is already RIP for THF lovers since Rogue is a class which is completely useless after 30?

But now they can be like the true original thief from FF1!

....Who automatically becomes ninja, the superior class after the meeting with Bahamut!
