The blade is closer.
The key word is "closer", not similar, pay attention.

Different weapons, different fighting styles. I don't doubt you agree that there is a major difference between using a Rapier and a Katana in a Fencing duel.

Zenos probably has a better affinity to slash efficiently an opponent rather than using the garlemald fighting style.
A Scythe, in a battle, is used to slash.

Closer, not similar. There is a reason why Zenos was attracted to a Katana.

The blade is literally further away, attached to a long shaft, and the edge faces you as you wing, as opposed to every Garlean gunblade we've seen.

Compare these images, which one is clearly the odd man out?

Well if the developer group making the job gets a bit more creative than just making the weapon a Combat Scythe, we may see the weapon to be something much more than just a Scythe.

The Filth and the Fury; Halone is known as the Fury, hence it will be a Ishgardian based job.

It means we will be getting Aymeric's job. One Handed Sword job that everyone has been asking for forever. Before you go all, no way! The Samurai Sam Raimi theory was totally correct.

You know Ive been thinking about this alot and I think this is exacty what we are getting. Temple Knight or Templar. To further lend to this theory, both shirts Yoshi had where a hooded character. I think the death aspect was meant to be a red herring. The hooded part was what I think was suppose to be the clue. So with that I would like to present two characters I think they drew inspiration from for this job. First theres Zasalamel from the soul calibur series.

Its been well noted that they drew inspirations from Kentaro Miura's Berserk for the Dark Knight class. Likewise, I think Zasalamel be a cool character to draw inspiration from even though he is not a holy or even a good character but more of a shaman type.

Then there is... Meliadoul from final fantasy tactics.

Even in this screenshot we can see that she has the Divine Knight class. Which is pretty synonymous to Holy Knight or Templar Knight if you ask me. Since we already have the Templars headquarters in Ishgard as well it just seems natural that they would go this route. Anyway, these are just the thoughts that have been distracting me from doing my Calculus 3 homework.

What if everyone of our speculation is wrong and the new Job is actually Fell knight from tactics?

because we already have Dark Knight and that's pretty much the same thing?

I think the hints are merely towards the weapon, that will be a Battlescythe.

Now, the job wielding itself, it's still a question that I probably think about 2 possibilities:
- Much like Gunbreaker, a brand-new job for the franchise, that if I could guess, a wielder of Ascian-themed magick or void magicks - Melee mage. It would - sort - of overlap a bit on flavor with DRK, but the lore might pull it to another type of darkside.
- Mystic Knight rebranded to a scythe wielder, maybe even changing the name itself, but keeping the premise of a melee warrior imbuing their weapon with aspected magicks.

Except this upcoming job will be a Melee DPS, while Dark Knight in FF14 is a tank.
