So, is that a dagger? (In the new concept art.)

Also for those arguing this is the leviathan WHM wand, not only is it not being held the proper direction, it is also not at all the color scheme of Leviathan weapons. Also note the weapons others are using, with the possible exception of the BLM, none of them are using the Leviathan weapons. Just because they are fighting him does not mean they are all going to be drawn with his weapons. (In fact that would make less sense.)

Also, here's the white mage weapon (AND SHIELD):

Plus there are already 2 people with 2h Rod/Staff weapons, so WHM and BLM are already accounted for.

Gladiator > Thief?

The only class in game that uses daggers right now are gladiators.

This is inherently impossible due to the way Gladiator is structured as a class. So much hacky skill-changing would have to occur that it wouldn't be worth it to not just create a new class. Gladiator has no interesting DPS combos and all of its skills are focused on enmity generation and reducing incoming damage.

Also on the topic of future Jobs, Yoshi-P has mentioned Future Jobs will have more serious effects on class skills later such as the GLA going into Dark knight example he used while discussing this stating that GLA skills will be adjusted to suit his or her new Job and Role such as...

GLA Enmity combo is changed by removing Enmity effect or replacing Enmity effect with DPS buffs while having potency increased while more serious change is Flash (AoE Enmity skill) being replaced by Darkness (AoE Damage skill)

It does not mean GLA will get Dark Knight as 2nd Job but Yoshi-P enjoys using GLA and Dark Knight a lot when discussing future jobs.

Doesn't have to be a Leviathan weapon. You're correct on that, I think it looks more like an allagan weapon or something.

As for the "poses" none of the weapon poses in this are correct to the game, so that's a moot point, for artistic freedom its easy to "turn it around" or hold it another way to make it look more interesting..

Looks like a woman to me, but those male male miqo'tes are rather feminine to begin with I suppose, just not to the point where they're wearing the female version of the armour pieces which I find very hard to believe the artists would get confused on and place on a male character.

But /that doesn't matter here/ really.

But it's very clearly a caster here in this case, simply based on the gear. And in this particular case a healer.

(Whether we agree or disagree on the gear/shape of the person in question) they're wearing CASTER GEAR.

Doesn't really matter, it's promotional art-work, it's more about "Does this image look good" as compared to "Is it correct to the strict 8-man set-up in game?"

You can't really tell if the second Lala is using a staff or holding onto a railing to keep from falling off the platform. Its an artistic rendition of the fight so its not going to be 100% accurate. The pole that she's holding looks like a piece of railing so I wouldn't put it as she's holding a 2 handed rod or other White Mage weapon.

The Miqo'te does however have a set of breasts apparently. The way the curve goes towards the front and the action pose don't meet eye to eye. The clothes would be snug against her body defining her front more than normal. It could be a generic short hair that's being pushed back due to the action post to look like male hair.


That weapon is still totally dagger like though. Won't say it says new class though cause that's wishful thinking to say something pops up before Musketeer with it being all but actually available to be played.


Dragoon's weapon also magically disappears behind the Paladin for some odd reason. Based on the angle it should have reappeared near the Paladin's shoulder

. . . it does look like the monk Leviathan weapon. But there's already a mnk there . . . mysteries.

And yet again to point it out.

It'd be a monk wearing healing gear if the person we're pointing out is indeed a Thief or a Monk. /shrug.

This certainly qualifies as a mystery in my book. Now, a lot of people are saying "promo art is promo art and nothing more", and with any other game that might be true. However, thus far SE has shown a stalwart commitment to making sure that art is entirely game-accurate. So that "dagger" could absolutely be something. What, I don't know.
