Think some people only played FFXI out of the Final Fantasy series due to their obstinate belief that if it doesn't match Final Fantasy XIs version of a job, it aint staying true.

Thing is SE do things differently with each Final Fantasy. Get over it.

1st off they not breaking drk history drks should have been tanks

I'm pretty sure you're none of the people who designed any of the FF games from the 80s - now, so you can't really say they "should have been" when the design Square went with was a Damage Dealer that sacrificed HP to enhance their abilities or deal damage. Secondly, people who say "FFXI isnt the only FF game, think of the other games" seems to be the most fixated on how XI did things, despite in the past, it has never been a 'tank', even though tanks didn't matter in the offline titles. Cecil, for example, wasn't a 'tank' until he renounced his dark knight ways and went paladin - the actual of the FF series, iconic one anyway.

so lets do a check least

does drk use a mele weapon
yes
does drk wear heavy armor(plate) Yes
does Drk have the ability to hold agro (yes)
so there you go the reason why it makes sense it being a tank

Does it use a weapon? - What class doesn't use a weapon?
Does it wear heavy armor? - So does Dragoon - Let's see how they work a tank, I suppose?
Does it have the ability to hold aggro? - You're not supposed to, means your tank is doing terribly.
"So there's the reason why it makes sense to be a tank" - That logic means WHMs are tanks too, they can hold hate no problem if they choose to spam medica II before the tank even gets initial hate.

^ Here's an example of someone who only Played XI accusing others of only playing FFXI, because pretty much anyone disappointed actually didn't bring up FFXI aside the fact in XI they used Scythes as well as Great Swords.

Nope!

Played 3,4,5,7,8,9,10,13. In fact I hated the combat system waaaaaay too slow in FFXI that I didnt play it for very long.

So what's it like being totally wrong about me?

Also, where did I mention DRK? Ooops, I didn't it, only you did, which means I wasn't talking specifically about DRK. It was a generalised statemant which covers all jobs that arent the same as there FFXI counterparts and players complaining that they aren't.

DRK was not usually a tank. Get over it

Beautifully said. It's what makes Final Fantasy amazing, IMO
