Ignoring the whole 'you must become the Warrior of Darkness' spiel for now, he became a DRK simply to counter the kirubu, as everything else he threw at it the stupid Amdaporian construct no-selled. Watch the scene closely - he's struggling to fight it and it just swats him away (it actually breaks his weapon when he becomes DRG!). And, remembering back to the level 70 SCH Job quest and Lost City of Amdapor HM, what elemental alignment did the Amdapori specialise in (and which their constructs like Kiburu were powered by)? Light. And what is Light's elemental opposite? Darkness.

So it made sense in a logical way - he bcame DRK simply for pragmatic reasons, reasons which I'm sure will be given greater clarification and context by the complete trailer next year just prior to Shadowbringers's launch date.

Now I know the job changing during the cinematic was probably for dramatic fluff but it makes me wonder...where does his gear go? A pocket dimension? Back into the Soul Crystal? I know it's world of fantasy and magic but these little things make me wonder!

Frankly before the trailer I would have guessed the Derplander to show up in Ascian gear.

It's not "with" him, it's attacking him.

As dungeon monsters they have an attack called "bad mouth" that inflicts misery status (and I'm told is cured with the /comfort emote!!!).

Apropos of nothing, the gremlin was my favorite part of the trailer.

It's 2018 and it's amusing that many players still don't know how the ailment can be removed. :p

Well it's pretty obscure, and Esuna is usually a cure-all unless there's a gimmick specific to the fight.

Emotes seem like novelties, not something you'd actually use in a game-impacting way. (no matter however many times the MSQ makes you cast /doubt on people's intentions...)

So at a theoretical-serious level.... everything is made of aether, right? So maybe soul crystals can magically 'absorb' the armour into aetherial form and then release it again when you equip it?

(Hold on tight to that crystal. Things could get awkward otherwise.)

Wait... Isn't a given already that the Derplander will become DRK?

Even the Shadowbringers logo features a DRK.

Ah, lol.. My bad!

Though interestingly enough, the Derplander never have been a DoM job.

So.... seeing as the prediction for DRK was correct, I'm going to throw in my prediction for 6.0: Red Mage, for keeping Light and Dark in equilibrium.

Then last will be about balance

2 as Darkness
Final will balance out

i think Derplander my trip over his hem if he tries to wear a robe, though, so I think BLM and WHM are unlikely... I vote Unicorn Horn for 6.0.
