So I've recently been leveling my Paladin and been having a blast, but as I was looking through weapons the other day I noticed that while we have the Excalibur, which itself is awesome, we don't have my favorite knight sword and the weapon used by the greatest Paladin to ever grace the Final Fantasy series!

I would be all for this. Actually, I would endorse ANYTHING related to IX in all shapes and forms. While they're at it, give us a Silver Dragon mount to ride, with Assault of the Silver Dragon theme >.>

Beatrix was a paladin? I thought she was like Steiner and just a knight?
-
10-28-2015, 03:49 PMMisterLucieWell, she had high magic stats and had access to white magic in addition to her knightly abilities. So while she's never explicitly called a Paladin, I think it's safe to assume.Quote:

The original poster is wrong. Celes is the greatest female paladin. I believe StQ is her best weapon in the remakes.

Wouldn't it be funny if the paladin "anima weapon" is Save the Queen :X
-
10-28-2015, 06:22 PMKaiser-AceJust had the same thought.Quote:

I instantly thought back to Final Fantasy Tactics but a quick search shows it has its history through the FF universe far more than I thought. So it wouldn't be out of place to me.

maybe the new Anima weapon for pld :P , but u need to be from Uldah :rolleyes:
-
10-28-2015, 09:25 PMSerilda
I'm sure we'll be getting StQ at some point since it's a classic recurring weapon :)
The Paladin job is generally called 'Knight' in Japanese (as in the English word 'Knight') because they aren't as clear about the difference.Quote:

Would make a ton of sense even in the context of the story. Seeing as how the paladins are the guards of royalty. Considering how beloved the current Sultana is among her people have the "Save the Queen" wouldn't really be far off base.
Actually all Paladin's are trained in the Ul'dahn style of warfare. Thats what Paladins are :pQuote:

I approve this! :D
But makes me wonder what would be the shield that goes with Save the Queen? -
10-28-2015, 10:07 PMkarateorangutangI dunno... the shield has always been more of an accessory to the sword with a basic name. Aegis was always kinda the exception. Genbu's shield or Genji shield could be a possibility.Quote:

A giant hunk of unsharpened plastic isn't a weapon. :(
-
10-29-2015, 01:45 AMGreven
Yeah, Beatrix is a Paladin. Celes is a Rune Knight.
Save the Queen is a very returning classic, we'll see it for sure! -
10-29-2015, 01:48 AMkarateorangutang
I'd like to see it for sure....
It was unuseable in XI so I would love to see it as a usable weapon. -

Raw damage yeah Espadon+1 would win, but in most cases, enmity lost with StQ would be the same with Espadon, which then StQ helps with Cover/Acc+. I held onto my StQ even after I got Espadon+1 for this reason.Quote:

Man... i'd forgotten about alot of that lol. -
10-29-2015, 04:47 AMSho86Nah that's not weird, that was the fun of XI. My "typical" set for PLD was full DEF+ with Enmity+ for secondary, since I usually ran with ppl that did SC+Burst chain pulls. Beyond that I did and seen others do full ATK/ACC+, hybrids, gear swap spammers, or of course the full VIT+ cause of those "secret stats" rumors that were rampant. I even went as PLD/NIN during leveling before since the party called for it, couple THFs and other melee if I recall. Kinda miss that freedom. lol x.xQuote:

Save the Queen could be the name of the new Paladin Relic in 3.15, who knows
-
10-29-2015, 09:58 AMKaiser-AceNot to mention Nanamo's Dad was The Sultan of Ul'dah before his death. So there's that,Quote:

Edited OP to add a more detailed pic of the sword as the Beatrix pic does look a bit plastic-y, haha.
-
10-29-2015, 12:14 PMEnkidohI doubt it given that FFXIV's relic equipment is more or less based on FFXI's relic gear, where as in FFXI Save the Queen was just a generic sword multiple Jobs could equip in the game (but was more suited to PLDs).Quote:

10-30-2015, 06:31 AMUltimatecalibur
While it would be cool if Paladins got Save the Queen for their Anima weapons, I suspect that the actual weapon we will be getting in 3.15 is Oathkeeper.
It also quite possible that the KotREX weapon might be Save the Queen. -
10-30-2015, 11:54 AMThirdKeyOfSun
Yes I hope it becomes an item as well.
-
10-30-2015, 12:49 PMEul
Or maybe the shield is escutcheon from ff tactic?
