Looking good. Maybe MNKs will get Suplex then.

It'll be this guy, and he'll teach us how to be the true Dark Lord.

Dark powers = Dark Lord/Evil person is just too generic for me.

I prefer a story that makes people question what they know and if what they know is a truth or fantasy.

A Story that makes people question if a person is truely evil or if the so called "Good Guy" the evil one due to their Blind actions about being called Heroes of the Light.

I wonder if it will be your inner darkness.

It's quite obviously going to be this guy.

How I would give for a praise the sun emote \o/. I've done all the covenants to completion (1&2), but I really have a thing for the co-op covenants.

If only I could be so grossly incandescent...

I feel so many Soul brothers and sisters in this thread XD.

I hope the rival breaks the mold somehow whether maybe we find out they were actually the good "guy" (and we killed them), or some sort of twist. Or with FFXI there was feeding the sword and maybe here--

The rival and and quest progenitor ends up being a unique void demon in the form of (or sealed within) a sword. Through the quest, maybe early on after feeding it, it breaks into a shard that we can use like a soul gem.

A good plot twist brings about opportunity but only if it is done right though I would prefer something else than a generic "reveal the main antagonist was a Demon" plot

Always enjoy a story that makes people question what they know.

While it is common to place DK in a view of something evil (inner darkness and all) there are other times when Dark Knights are placed as something good but it is just their beliefs that make people think other wise.

For example, Good Dark Knights often are not bound by gods, religion, laws, kings, queens, and kingdoms because evil people can use those as means to cause harm or escape from their crimes.

While common to see this as evil, the unbound limit they have gives them more open to act against evil that would use the same system designed to bring good. It also allows them to act faster since not being bound by these things allows them to not be hold back by people of High ranks within these areas.

Always enjoy a story that makes people question what they know and Dark Knight does open that option due to what types of Dark Knights can exists.

Edited my post a little, noticed it wasn't quite clear about plot twist and running right into a secondary idea I had lol - also the demon would not necessarily be the antagonist (since it would be the shard you were using). But- Yes, I like your evaluation of the lack of structure being a form of good that many would see as evil and lacking of a system they hold as right but may have been or be corrupted already. It would be nice if the really identify what makes Dark Knight (Dark) but yet also good, and perhaps contrast that with the Paladin where possible.

I know this is an international game that is trying to get a lot of attention but at your mention of religion I think of SE (soft) and Xenogears.. Wonder if they could work something in with the holy see and dark knights.

Maybe but Ishgard religion is more towards Dragons and stuff. Most likely things may go towards Ul'dah more due to the DK rivals, the Paladins, being there. At best I think they may slap in some Paladin NPCs with one of them being a main NPC for the DK Job Story who has a goal to find another Dark Knight that may be our Job rival. Along with a bunch of scenes that put into question each character's beliefs and actions.

Ul'dah current has so far shown many lore and story events that could be used in some way for a Dark Knight Job Storyline. While Main Scenario focused more about the refugees vs the Ul'dah citizens, Ul'dah's culture and system can serve as a possible subject for DK Job Story due to corruption within the government and Paladin Order, how the society is controlled by the rich while the poor suffer, and etc.
