Dark Knight is a tank, wtf

I never intended to label you as ignorant or anything. It's just that in the FF series in general, gameplay revolves around lore and not the contrary. Also, evasive tanks are usually a very bad idea concerning balance. And ninja tank would just have been dumb

Yeah I don't even think evasive tanking is something possible of implemending in the battle mechanics we have atm. It's just that I don't see anything else working that wouldn't need heavy armor. But I mean if they want to make more people interested in tanking, they need to start getting creative about it.
The whole Iron Mountain thing is just not working for everyone.
Something beastlike would catch my interest. Or light armor or summons...

Oh, the joys of English, where "last October" can mean two completely different things. But sure, go on believing that your interpretation is the only correct one.

I mean, I'm just being a smart aleck. What's your excuse? >_>

My reasoning is simple as I already explained. Last October was the last October that came and went. So last month. You're definition is deliberately misleading and confusing since it blatantly ignores last month. Most people would be confused by you're fringe definition.

But why trust me? Let's Google the definition of last.

last1
last/Submit
adjective
1.
coming after all others in time or order; final.
"they caught the last bus"
synonyms: rearmost, hindmost, endmost, at the end, at the back, furthest (back), final, ultimate

Coming after all others. Meaning a month ago. By the very definition of the word you are wrong. So it would seem my excuse is an accurate usage of vocabulary.

Nope, last month was too recent to be last October. Not ignoring it at all.

Also, your fringe definition of "you're" is probably more likely to confuse people.

Look at the dictionary definition of the word last I just posted. By the definition of the word you are wrong. This isn't my opinion. Your definition of the word is factually inaccurate.

Edit. I use Swype and it misspelled the word and I didn't notice before posting. It's a good thing that doesn't change anything about the definition of last. Whew.

Ah semantics. Ever are you the source of interweb wars.

Seriously guys Tangent Express!

It's not semantics. It's vocabulary. This thing where we have a huge annually updated book with accepted destinations. That said it is a tangent so I'm out

se·man·tics
səˈman(t)iks/
noun
the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning.

Certainly this is an argument of semantics. Specifically, the meaning of "Last October"

But yes tangent is tangent. Cut the string!

It's cool, I can look up dictionary stuff, too!

last
2. (of a day of the week) Closest to seven days (one week) ago.
It's Wednesday, and the party was last Tuesday; that is, not yesterday, but eight days ago.

That's the sense I'm using. The same way I wouldn't say that American Thanksgiving was last Thursday; I would just say it was Thursday. If I say it was last Thursday, people will think I'm very confused about the current date.

Edit: Come on, do y'all really want yet another thread about whether DRK should be a tank or a DPS? At least this conversation is making me think about how I use the words and phrases I do. >_>

Taaaannnnnnnnnnnnngggeeentt!

Do as Elsa says: Let it goooo, let it goooooo!

From Dark Knights not being DPS, to what Cecil is supposed to be, to what the definition of "last month" is. Yep, normal day in the forums.
