Dark Knight

Maybe you 100% believe Dark Knight has no possibility of being a tank. Which is where you would be incorrect. That's all there is to it.

Well yes, there's a possibility. But people seem to be throwing around the idea that anyone who could possibly be a tank WILL be a tank... and if that were the case we'd probably have tanking dragoons and summoners too.

Personally I think the "trading life for damage" gimmick that's so fundamental to most interpretations of the DRK archetype in Final Fantasy makes it being a tank less likely.

[Dark Knight] [Can I have it?] I want it so bad. I'm settling for war and drg for now but what I really want is DRK I can't believe it wasn't in the first batch of jobs. Great Sword or scythe?

Agreed. I think it probably should have been as well. I like the visual esthetic of a scythe, but would be happy with either.

I prefer Great sword we dont have any class using a Great Sword and that's a weapon that really is in most fantasy games and mmos. but Id take scythe a long as I can spend hp to deal BIG DAMAGE

scythe looks terrible. Hopefully they don't introduce DRK with scythe simply because botanists use one already.

I liked both scythe and greatsword, but honestly the scythe was much more esthetically iconic and defining. I know it wasn't practical, but honestly this is a Japanese Fantasy MMORPG... (Despite this, I am about 70% sure the DRK will use a great sword.)

So I am wondering, why don't you like the scythe? Could you please elaborate; I am curious.

Because thematically its a terrible weapon. It is a tool for farming. It has always been a tool for farming. The term "reaping" comes from farming and the only reason why Death has a scythe is because he's a reaper of souls.

Any human being using a scythe would be at an extreme disadvantage because it only has one attack arc. Its just plain dumb.

Don't get me wrong, I am well versed in the scythe and it history. I can understand that, but you have to look at symbolism and esthetics too. This game (You have lost it) pulls a lot from mythos from various cultures and the symbol of death, as in the grim reaper here matches up with the idea of a DRK rather well. I don't think the DRG artifact armor is too practical by these same standards.

Annnd that is why I am fairly sure we wont be seeing the scythe as a weapon.
