Marauder= Dark knight?

I was wondering if people think marauder is going to get dark knight as its corresponding job. Any oppinions or knowledge on this?

looking back at FF jobs the axe carrying job has been a berserker

I'm expecting MRD becoming viking and LNC becoming dark knight based on the concept art.

Looking at the cover of the magazine from the Artifact Armors thread, I believe MRD will get something akin to Warrior or Viking. Just based on the look of the concept art, no real fact.

can someon plese post a link to the concept art? I havent seen it.

I see your point on marauder being a berserker or something like that, but isnt lancer going to be dragoon? I mean that would be more natural. Guess we might not get Dark knight.

do we think gladiator will be a paladin? maybe this will be dark knight, maybe another update in the future will give them more than one job choice per class (not likely but never say never)

Well, the original artwork of that armor was named "Evil Armor" and the helm does is much more DRKish than DRGish (specially since the concept arts remind a bunch FFXI AFs)...but we already got so many s#!t from this dev team i wouldn't be surprised in it being DRG armor...

I really wanna know which class i need to become drk. I wish square would publish some info on the subject so i know what to level.

i bet its not PGL lebannen

evil armor yes, but please refer to cain the dragoon and his concept art, very similar.

Pgl is my highest atm but im only leveling it for some skills i want for my other classes. Its not going to be my main.

i have not done much more than my PGL so far i'm still quite new to this game, but a monk would do me just fine i hope he still has his counter attack. but i had a thought on your dark knight is the shield part of the gladiator class, if it is a class on its own, then shield could be paladin, non shield could be dark knight

Good suggestion. The two are in a way separate but you cant be a sentinel without being a gladiator or mage class.

I think Marauder will become a new class called executioner. It will be a scythe wielding class. Check the ifrit battle vid and look at the lala exc. I watched his attacks were melee and it was a scythe he was wielding. Wondering if there are any unexpected surprises that SE wanted to give a hint at with the vid while showing how badass ifrit fight will be.

i thought they thinking of doing marauder/THM = dark knight lol

I know. But also to Cecil. Here:

Cecil (DRK): http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/f...Screenshot.jpg
Kain (DRG): http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/f...ia-274x300.png

In the end the difference is mainly the helm. Those twisted horns very often were dark knight helms, while dragoons had a fin-like stuff at helm.

And, odd enough, at art Cecil is also holding an spear =P

So was i. Just makes no sense DRK coming from other class than THM...even though i'm already expecting THM to be mutilated during the so called "Class balancing"...

i hate to bring bad news, but i read on another tread executioner is just what the japanesse call a marauder, also the new job classes aren't coming out till patch 0.21 or so i heard so u won't be getting a look at them in game yet

the dark looking gear is a DRG 100% sure lol

we don't know how dragon look in this game lol so the horn on the helm coudl be right

edit: nvm yep the helm is 100% right look at this dragon "http://www.multiplayergames.com/wp-c...agon-FFXIV.png"

Oops in light of new info and some closer look at the vid, I didnt know mar was executioner in japan and it looks like he is using one of those notched bill type of axes which i forgot are in the game as well. My bad. Still looks like we are gonna have some much needed epic battles come 1.19.

the reason i am sure lancer will not be a dark knight

kain = dragoon, a draggon best and defining ability is jump, it is true kain had a sword in FF 4, but every dragoon or person with the jump comand has had a spear/lance, dragoon FF5, gau ff6, cid ff7 kilmari FF10. and any more i might have missed / forgotten

so the new jobs for DoW the way i see it from other treads and what i knw about FF in general

pugilist = monk
archer = bard
lancer = dragoon
marauder = berserker
gladiator - some confusion here, is it paladin is it dark knight, does having a shield make any difference, but just to add to the confusion i got a question.

why would SE a japanese company shun a japanese icon the samurai for a european knight?

anyway that is just how i see things i could be wrong :P

Love your signature. Dilly Dally Shilly Shally, so good. Damn you Aerith.


Anyways I think DRK would come from mrd+thm. My thing is , I still think its stupid to release PLD as a job, and DRK as an advanced job. Just my opinion. The advanced job info is in an article translation by reinhart I believe, not sure if its in the JP to English thread but if it has its own thread I'm sure the link is still in the JP to English thread.

Yeah SE pretty much dropped a big bomb with the job anouncement then left all of us hanging on anything resembling detail on it.

This is the quote from Famitsu:

"Currently the "Job" names that finalized are: Paladin, Monk, White Mage, Black Mage, Dragon Knight, Bard.
** Maybe the axe and bow class are just not finalized, don't be afraid!
** There is no any evidence that bow class will get a job as Bard."

Here is the link to it. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...azine-Aug.2011

The last too lines just add to the confussion. All and all, in my personal opinion, i feel DRK is the most applicable to the oerall spirit and playstyle od MRD. But with all the pirate like lore related idealism, they could be COR as well.

Its almost like the went out of there way to kick the crap out of the hornets nest as they tossed it into a locked room all of us players are locked in.

Personally, I've always seen Warrior as the best fit for MRD, especially with the threat generation abilities it carries.

As far as COR goes, I can almost guarantee that'll be left for Musketeer.

What if Marauders became Musketeers? That could be their job. Axe in one hand, gun in the other... oh yeah. I mean, yar!

Musketeers and arcanists are classes, not jobs.

Warrior confirmed in Live Letter.
