Now compare the concept art I linked to, to these pics...

Screaming Dark Knight to me.

This is... bad? I get that he's kinda taken the DRK thing away with such deep purples and blacks, but it looks very dragon-ey to me. More dragon-ey than bright, solid purple at least. (excepting, of course, Spyro.)

I think it's kind of an improvement... especially the bone under the metal armor. That's beautiful. I imagine DRK will see some changes as well, if DRG looks like this, so I bet he's a tad more... evil.

The only thing Dragon-y about it are the spikes on the back, though... And I guess I could KINDA see the helmet being dragon-y as well... But sharp, pointy things are always on Dark Knights, and their helmets are always shaped like that.

I dunno, Kain is pretty sharp and pointy: http://vgfanart.com/snes/ff4/Dragoon%20Kain_jetzero.jpg

You're right about the helmet though.

WHAT ABOUT THAT ISN'T EPIC?

You people, man... sometimes.... [shakes little lalafell fist in rage] ... not so much into taking a long, analytical look at things.

EDIT:

I REPEAT: It's probably not a scythe.

Awesome, that definitely clarifies it for me, thanks!

Love the concepts , especially Drg. (except white mage, only because I wanted something a little less plain)

WHOA, lol. That just fan art though... xD

Let's look at a more recent official model..

A little pointy, but not blades sticking out of back/shoulders pointy, which again, is akin to the Dark Knight...

But whatever. Guess I'll just have to wait till they make a Thief job or something. :[

Leviathan. Get off that dragoon. You're not even a dragon. That doesn't make sense, you silly sea serpent.

Haha, you just reminded me of some of the Dragoon concept art for FFIX...

http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy...an_Dragoon.jpg

So we're getting the same old boring armors that have been in the franchise for so many years?

...What.

How about some...new designs please? I wanted to play FF14. Not "Nostalgia of all the old-school FFs".

Because people were QQing about this game not having the "FF tradition".
