Dark Knight

Yeah it's odd that it's a tank, but man it looks great! Was hoping we'd get a two-handed sword job and glad it was DRK!

Truly disappointed in it being a tank.

In FFIV there could be much speculation about what role Cecil played as DRK in the game. Are you only thinking about XI? If so, how is that classic? FFIV is the classic if anything.

no, James Bond is confirmed job, James Bond is not a healer!

Watch them make SAM a healer, RDM a pet class and the gunjob "sooner than we think" apparently meaning 4.0. Meh w/e, I guess we will see how it all turns out. At least happy to hear they scrapped the class completely, hopefully they have come up with a better class/job system entirely.

Aw, I was hoping for Templar to become the 3rd tank... but DRK will do just fine, being a hybrid mage tank

nononono. you're wrong. There is only Final Fantasy XI in existence. Count it: zero. eleven. Fenrir has always been an Esper named in the very same breath with Bahamut.

Dark Knight has just about always been a tank. In reference to FFXI, all melees had some sort of tank abilities, though obviously some classes were better at it than others. There was plenty of content that DRK could tank. The problem with FFXI DRK tanking was newbies using Last Resort and Soul Eater. Though not the ideal tank, it worked. Besides, FFXI was FULL of hybrids anyway and so most classes could fill multiple roles.

Seriously though, I could've told you DRK was going to be a tank in FFXIV years ago, I don't know why people were setting themselves up for disappointment.
