the reason i am sure lancer will not be a dark knight

kain = dragoon, a draggon best and defining ability is jump, it is true kain had a sword in FF 4, but every dragoon or person with the jump comand has had a spear/lance, dragoon FF5, gau ff6, cid ff7 kilmari FF10. and any more i might have missed / forgotten

so the new jobs for DoW the way i see it from other treads and what i knw about FF in general

pugilist = monk
archer = bard
lancer = dragoon
marauder = berserker
gladiator - some confusion here, is it paladin is it dark knight, does having a shield make any difference, but just to add to the confusion i got a question.

why would SE a japanese company shun a japanese icon the samurai for a european knight?

anyway that is just how i see things i could be wrong :P
