FFXIV Stormblood confirmed

Re: the tattoo, I tend to agree... of course, we can't completely discount the possibility that it's meant to be her, and the people who put this trailer together goofed and forgot it. XD

Exactly this, Thancred's job was never really truely defined until they added rogue/ninja. There is no reason Yda couldn't be the same. Vaguely pugilist/monk until dancer is released then written otherwise.

Except there is nothing vague about Yda. She has consistently, in MSQ battles where she fights with you as an NPC and in cutscenes, been shown to be a PGL/MNK. There's nothing vague or "kinda like a PGL/MNK, ish, sorta" about her fighting style. She's a perfect match to how the actual PGL/MNK player classes play. So for her to be, from 4.0 on, written as "oh yes she's a dancer, she was always a dancer!" would be really weird and a massive retcon.

Now, if in the story, she was a PGL/MNK, and then later learned the (relatively similar) art of combat dancer, then sure, that'd work. But "she was always a dancer, we just couldn't say so because there was no dancer class"? Nah.

As for the trailer and info we've gotten: hot damn, I'm pretty hyped. Yes, it's mostly been system improvement stuff so far (and PS3 support dropped! huzzah!), but some of those are REALLY needed so hey! And what we've seen of Ala Mhigo looks stunning. I'm quite sold; the hype train can count on me being a passenger for the duration of its journey.
