Dancer Job

[Tiggy]

Well, SE painted themselves into a corner a bit by giving Daggers to Gladiator. Now, any job that classically uses Daggers (like THF) is going to have to have GLD as a base class, or else SE will need to provide some explanation as to why GLD can use THESE daggers but not THOSE daggers, and why THF/DNC/Whatever can use THOSE daggers but not THESE daggers.

It's a bit awkward.

SE could take an alternative route, since Dancers appear infrequently enough in FF lore that they aren't as tied to daggers as THFs are. They could be a hand-to-hand combatant based on PGL, or possibly give them an entirely new base class with a new weapon type (like whips).

This won't be a problem. Right now we have two jobs that use books. One book is labeled for Sch and the other for Smn. There is nothing stopping them from adding daggers than PLD simply can't equip.

Except that dancers would be based on Gladiator skills then.
Dancers with whipes would be cool (like in Ragnarok online).
It would look like this:

Knives then? They can make a new weapon type specifically for a new class (say Thief), they're putting new classes and jobs in anyway. Maybe make them dual wielding like how Pugilists and Monks are, one weapon to equip but they have one in each hand.

I (at least) want something more like this than a ribbon twirling dancer like the picture you posted =p


Or this (could natively use daggers in FFT too iirc):


DNC certainly wouldn't be the same as it was in XI or FFT, but I think it would benefit from being a frontline DPS/Support (along the lines of Bard in this game, make it debuffs over party buffs) or even frontline healer if they could balance it right. A ribbon would likely make it a ranged healer like WHM and in turn give it little physical ability (a dancer should be swift, no? Not necessarily strong). A whip for a weapon, maybe, but a ribbon? No thanks. But regardless I'd probably pick up the job and make it my main until Red Mage finally (hopefully) comes along.
