The Point of DRKness

[Galgarion]

Careful there. I just cut myself on how edgy this post is

My favorite character in all of Final Fantasy full stop, is Gaffgarion from FFT. He's the ideal Dark Knight for me, not Cecil. A professional, somewhat greedy fighter who doesn't blanch at the hard decisions. Not an edgelord, just a guy who knows he's a bastard and doesn't care.

A true Dark Knight. Fights for coin and for himself above all. Laws mean nothing. Fights for his ideals alone. In XIV all we amount to is killing Corrupt Templars who believe in a false faith all to protect a little Ishgardian female. Which IMO is a Paladin's job. Not a Dark Knight's. Now 30-50 was a really good opener for the Dark Knight and I really enjoyed it. It's just a disappointment that they went from that...to what we got in 50-60. The Dark Knight has always had a tragic story, the ending never a good one and they generally remain alone. And often die that way.

That is more your idea of a Dark knight but doesn't mean all Dark Knights should follow that. Depends on how base you want to be, base of all bases a Dark Knight is someone who uses the Power of Darkness and wields a great sword but what he dose with that is more down to the person himself. Is he Greedy, defending the weak, do they choose to abide by there own code? that more a personnel thing rather then what the job is.

It's like thinking all PLDs should uphold the law and all that but I can safely say I've met some dodgy PLD's in my time.
