I know we probably are going to see a two handed sword wielding class in the future to make a spot for DRK as the scythe is already taken by the Bostonist. So I was thinking after having just looked over at the request for a FF-VII crossover fate and it hit me; a solder in FF-VII uses very large great swords.
Just calling the class a Soldier would make a ton of sense and draw in a lot of old fans to the class right off the bat. No I don't think they will get wield super human abilities like the the FF-VII series, but simply another melee damage deal class that uses large two handed swords (Great Swords), that would later get the Dark Knight job (perhaps a-kin to Sephiroth).
So this is just my little prediction, just thought I would toss my idea out there and see if it stuck so I could say "I told you so" when it happened, and hope everyone forgot this thread by the time the job/class for DRK comes around and the class not call called Soldier.
Win/win XD
So what do you think? Am I on something or totally insane/FF7 fanboy?
Calling it, next DPS Melee class: Soldier

I don't really see it, base concept doesn't seem to tread a lot of new ground over what we have (I'm not saying you can't make it unique, I'm just saying that another heavily armored fighter with a big two handed weapons is likely going to overlap more conceptually and thematically than something like a fencer or thief would).
I always thought the easiest way to make the Dark Knight would be an offensive job for marauder (thaumaturge secondary lancer tertiary?). "Marauder" even sounds dark-knightish. -
11-27-2013, 09:37 AMBloodclawI was thinking the same, but I just can't see them wielding axes over great swords.Quote:

This is my dream:
Every class gets 2 jobs, just like arch...
So pugilist: Monk (dps) Ninja (tank)
Lancer: DRG (dps ) something...
Gladiator: PLD (tank) RDM (support)
Marauder: WAR (tank) DKN (dps)
The subclasses needed will change. for the second job...
Anyone care to contribute for the rest?
Side comment: Any game without a 2h sword is just not complete... especialy in the FF universe, where 2h swords are so protagonist... -

Considering Dark Knights in previous incarnations of Final Fantasy has wielded different weapons depending on the game entry (Usually a Great Sword, Scythe, or Great Axe), Maurader will probably be the base job for DRK. They will probably have a job specific ability that is the exact opposite of Warrior's Definace, increasing attack power at the cost of health or defense. They may also get abilities that lower enmity (since marauder generates a lot of enmity), and, since Marauder has bloodbath, Storm's Path and Mercy Stroke, change these to take health from the DRK and inflict it as damage on the target.
The most likely next CLASS with either be the musketeer that Yoshi has actually talked about conceptually, or a class that will grow into a thief (Called pickpocket or something similar). Of course they can also add jobs without adding classes, though this brings up other questions about how people are going to learn to play the new jobs. -

Also, the idea of having a
Soldier class (2h swords) with: Drk (soldier + thmt) and Samurai (tank) (soldier + pugilist)
Would be great...
bottom line, give me a 2h dps class!!! -
11-28-2013, 04:40 AMzdub303Dragoon is a 2H dps classQuote:

Ninja shouldnt be a tank. OP could be right.
DPS based axe class stemming for MRD would be called Berzerker obviously. The job does exist ya know. -

Missing out on 1 healing type role but that's what I'd like -
11-28-2013, 06:10 PMCynricThe only thing about this list I would change is the placement of berzerker and samurai. Ive never seen that class use anything but an axe, and if Square makes Samurai use spears there would be an unproar. Monk could easily split into blackbelt as an evade tank with a few added skills.Quote:
