Your thoughts on DRK as a Tank in the future?

I don't know where the thought DRK would be an evasion tank comes from.
We know almost exactly nothing about how the class actually will work.

During the reveal at London Fan Fest, Koji mentioned something along the lines of 'Parry and dodge, as well as the power of darkness' when elaborating slightly on how the Job will play out.

That's interesting...

I wonder if the Dark Knight will steal the Samurai's evasiveness from some older games, such as its Bladegrasp/Shirahadori technique from FFV and Tactics. That's one way you could make a more heavily armored tank be evasive. Less about dodging entirely and more about catching its foes's attacks and throwing them off balance.

I'd expect them to have a lot of life drain abilities, too.
