I didn't even say anything about a new class. I just pointed out the dual-wielding, which is a popular skill in final fantasy games and RPGs alike.

Thancred's been doing that since 1.0. They also had dual wield in the game at that time, however, we couldn't equip two daggers because our affinity with the weapons weren't high enough. Don't get excited by the trailer. Thancred is just cool.

No I do not recall Thancred dual wield in 1.0 (even in that cutscene with gaius all he does is throw daggers and kunais) so I would be more than happy if you could prove me wrong. Yes I know the system was in the game for npc to do w/e they want but I don't see the need for them to go out of their way to show Thancred fighting with dual wield in 2.2 scenario unless it has even a tiny significance.

This. It's getting kind pf ridiculous now.
InB4 "through the maelstorm-logo's color is a hint of a blue mage getting added in few days without any prior marketing"

If there is Dual Wielding, there is a new class, or at least a new job.

Well... Dunno what to make of it really. Yes, it is a short clip, but it does seem like Thancred as fully changed jobs/classes to a THF/NIN... Note, he was a BRD before (Evident in some conversations in Revenants Toll)

Is this further evidence that a THF/NIN job is on its way, or not?

---

He said that he is a bard even when there was no job system in 1.0 ingame.
He only say it because the ladies like it. In reality he is a gladiator.

He's always been a single knife wielding Gladiator. So two knives....

We know they did in fact talk about new classes but nothing is concrete.
Not every video hints to new classes, lol
Besides if we do get new classes i would think only by 3.0 , i could be wrong

By the way,
This video is a great example how of the storytelling in 1.0 was so unbelievably better than it is now. The Circle feels real, and powerful. They act like they know what they're doing and they are here for a purpose.

The characters in ARR pale in comparison. They feel lifeless and static. They are like reminders of these cool characters I used to know, but are nothing like them anymore. This new video of Thancred acting like a badass actually made me kinda tear up because it's good to see him back to his old self.

Its sad the only NPC that's received any inkling of life in ARR is Cid (and they did a fairly decent job with him). I think characters (NPC) and getting to know them and their mysterious backgrounds was a strength in 1.0 and a serious weakness in ARR.
