We need a Mystic Knight/Rune Fencer Job

FF16 is making me want that magical swordsman vibe with actual hand to hand combat. Not Red Mage. I mean elemental buffed swords, and epic attacks from the sword itself. Not a bunch of spells flung from afar, and then chained into an attack. I mean an actual swordsman. I hope that we get that niche in FFXIV someday.

Yep. I want a Mystic Knight enspeller spellsword melee tank, where I imagine their rotation has them playing very similar to SAM in that they build up Enfire, Enblizzard and Enthunder charges then unleash them all into one big attack.

I've been wanting Mystic Knight since Heavensward. If they do go with it, it's most likely going to be a melee DPS.

There's a high chance they'll add Mystic Knight at some point. I wonder what kind of weapons he would use. Maybe dual swords.

ルーンブレードを両手一本ずつ持っている。竜騎士とリーパー同様エネルギーが溜まったら赤フェーズに入る。
それぞれ範囲攻撃の形があると思うのですが、竜騎士は直線上、リーパーは前方三角形、魔導剣士は円形。
赤フエーズの時は魔法が使えて、遠距離から詠唱ありの攻撃が出来ます。赤魔導士の逆パターン。

Translation:
Role: Maiming DPS
Rune Fencer
Dual sword wielder. Both DRG and RPR charge resources and go into enhanced phase(This is before DRG rework).
They have AoEs that are shaped differently; DRG is straight lines, RPR is cones, so Rune Fencer might use circular AoEs.
During Rune Fencer's enhanced phase, like a reversed RDM, they can cast magical attacks with cast times .

Well, since the Mystic Knight is always represented by a arab swordsman (or in case of FFXI a fancy Dark Knight) I think curved blades would be more accurate.

Granted this job is named spellblade but it's literally the same thing. I do hope this is a future job though.

(Jokingly being pedantic, don't take this super seriously)

All these FFXI job topics got me thinking...

If we're going back to Ivalice in some capacity in 7.0 then its always possible

unless Nagxia/Valnain ends up giving us Mystic Knight instead.
