Dark Knight

[Exstal]

Right. In japanese, Dragoon is actually called Dragon Knight, in case anyone didn't know and was curious.

竜騎士

Dragon Riding Samurai

Fun fact: All classes in FF end with 士 (meaning samurai).
Side note: Classes, not jobs

Not quite correct. The kanji, 士, alone does not mean much and it means different things when attached with other kanji to make a word.
Just like, the word, "apple", in pineapple means apple but a pineapple obviously is not an apple.

This the best I've got

士 - military man, suffix for profession

I was simply pointing out it isn't called, "Dragon Knight". At least, not in this game it isn't.

As long as I have been playing Dragoon in FFXI and FFXIV, any time I searched for the japanese name for dragoon, Dragon Knight always came up. Even the wikia page states it:



From what I found through search, 騎士(Kishi) = Knight, and the character that comes before it is 竜(Ryū) meaning Dragon.

Interesting. A break down of the characters had me in the wrong spot. Dragon-Calvary(riding)-profession(samurai/warrior counter) for Dragoon. Which is weird considering Paladin is just Knight (ナイト).
