If Liberator is for Dragoon, does that say something about the future of Dark Knight?

The FFXI Dark Knight is not the exception. All other appearances of Dark Knight in FF games are.
- More content has been developed for Dark Knight in XI, than all other FF titles combined
- FFXI Dark Knight has been played by more people, than all other FF titles combined
- FFXI Dark Knight has existed actively, more than all other forms of FF Dark Knights combined.

FFXI is almost 13 years old, and still going. There are people who started playing Dark Knight at the ages of 10 who are now college graduates and employed with kids of their own.

Like it or not, FFXI is the pretty much the go-to for FF Jobs benchmarking.

Considering that DRG doesn't have a pet, SCH now does, BRDs use bows, and WAR is 100% a tank again. I don't think XI matters at all for jobs in this game. <.<

-Yet DRG in XIV looks more like DRG from XI than any other title.

-WARs were THE tank in XI and SE tried to keep it that way until the community forced their hand into allowing it to develop as a DPS post ToA - and that was way way waaaay after Lv.50 cap was removed. However, WARs in XI could tank, as could DRKs, just not many were skilled enough to make proper use of it.

-SCH having a pet is nothing more than SE being lazy and trying to release a second healer job to balance the game and providing a second job for the ARC class to progress into. They didn't think it through, and that is even more obvious when you consider one needs INT and the other needs MND yet both share the same class points.

-BRD XI screwed BRD into being everyone's b!tch. It and WHM were the most tedious jobs to play. It was popular to have in a group, and a chore to play. There was no way they were going to repeat that mistake, ever again.


Just like they will never give anyone utsesemi.

EDIT: SMN being a Warlok Clone: It still summons Ifrit, Garuda, Titan and will probably evolve to have more pets and the emphasis of its role be shifted towards pet-control.

SMN existed before WoW did.

So just because it uses a move does not mean it is a clone.
