Guess that Dark Knight Job Story Rival(s)!

[Calypsx]

I never really felt Dark Knights were evil. In fact, I feel they sometimes are incredibly far from that. They literally sacrifice every fiber of their being, both physically and mentally in order to protect their allies. Some don't even survive the intense training and lose their minds in the process.

The playable Dark Knights live in a world of self loathing all for the sake of others. It's an incredibly sad and tragic job and that's what intrigues me the most about it.

I'm actually hoping it's not just a rivalry story but also one of recovery. Perhaps we help teach another DRK that their powers can be used for good or we save them from losing themselves to the darkness.

I'm really looking forward to what the developers come up with.

It was stated quite clearly in Final Fantasy IV that eventually being steeped in darkness would corrupt Cecil. Least that's what King Fabul suspected. Sure maybe it's possible Cecil would never have fallen to the darkness but the odds were likely stacked against him.

Though I doubt something like this may happen to our Character due to plot armor and other stuff. Hard to say right now without knowing what type of DK FF14 is going to be but there is the possibility that the DK powers are not the "turn someone Evil or Mad" type of powers.

After all another aspect of Darkness is that Darkness is no different from light. It just "another side of the same coin" type of aspect how Darkness is also known to be interpreted as.

Why would you want a new class go be just like an older class just without the stuff you don't like. Come on be original try something new.

How about everytime we gain a new DK power from the DK Job quest we face our "Shadow" alone while "I'll face myself" Persona 4 theme is playing

Jokes aside:

As of now my guesses are limited but DK being a Job where we will be using Darkness to fight against the Greater Evil of the world of FF14 through Main Scenario provides opening for countless different types of plot for their Job Story and lore reasoning. The whole moral questioning of right and wrong, light and darkness, good and evil is just the more common theme used for something like Dark Knight.

This game has never taken the stance that darkness is no different from light. I'd think the Crystal Tower raids would have gotten that across pretty clearly.

I expect it's going to be similar to the Warrior quest line, possibly with your character specifically being the one who nearly falls rather than somebody else. Possibly the final job quest will be you fighting yourself like how Cecil did when he became a Paladin though obviously you will not become a Paladin after :P

Ya but FF3 did perform that kind of theme for their story where it is shown too much light can endanger the counter part of the FF3 world while too much darkness endangers the FF3 world with both worlds having similar life styles for their citizens.

Warriors of Darkness serve to keep the light in check while the Warrior of Light keep the Darkness in check. A interesting subject they put into that game though sadly a short subject in FF3.

On the note of DK Final Job quest...

If that happens bet a lot of players will have "I'll Face myself" theme playing during that fight.
