So, is that a dagger? (In the new concept art.)

I deliberated with my FC about this a lot as well. That definitely looks like a dagger. If it was a bow, we'd still see it continuing past the rest of their body. Lance/staff would be the same. Just because that "appears" to be caster gear as well, doesn't mean that it is. Almost all of that gear in the picture looks different from gear in game currently. Also, Square only ever puts one of the same class/job in their promo art like this. So the fact that there are 8 characters, DRG, 2 staff (BLM/WHM), WAR, PLD, MNK and SCH, that leaves only BRD available in the current jobs/classes. That is definitely not a bow, if that were a bow I would want a refund on any gil/tomes I spent on it because it's clearly broken.

I agree I don't expect anything but would be a nice surprise, like when they hinted scholar. But anyways I look forward to 2.2

Let me take my stab at "reading into this to much". The gear looks reminiscent to something a Dancer would wear. DNCs use daggers and eventually get the passive Dual Wield. Thancred is showcased dual wielding daggers. So, DNC gear wearing looking character w/ a dagger and Thancred dual wielding....take that and run with it.

Out of all the jobs they could of added they had to add Dancer...

Now thats its Dancer Job hopefully its only apart of the GLA class tree of jobs.
Hopefully GLA gets few more new dps attacks that are dagger based.
