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

[Kantide]

This is slightly off topic, but does anyone else see the whip holding female miqote near the warrior and monk? <.<

Also, while were on this picture... Isn't this Ingus from Final Fantasy III!!!! Ingus to be playable class!!!

the "whip" is part of the monk head piece

It's definitely a whip. Take a look where her hands are grasping it right under the monks feather.
