There Is No Dancer (yet)

A good theory I saw was the people of ala mihgo created the dancing style to hide their martial arts training under the garlean rule.

That is a good thought. I wonder what the lore is on the blade dancer?

This would actually be really friggin awesome if this is the lore for dancer!!

That'd certainly make a DNC's questline more exciting, were the DNC ever implemented. I can totally see a capoeira thing happening.

As a side note, I wonder if anybody who's sick of the arguing tried reporting this thread. The moderators would jump at the chance to remove it, I'm sure.

What rule is this thread breaking?

What rule is this thread breaking?

Not a clue. I can't help but feel like some people see something wrong with it, though. Personally, I see nothing wrong with it. I just get a little irked myself when people come in saying, "That's enough!" They act like it hurts them in some way. "I'm just so tired of seeing this 37-page thread at the top!"

You know what? I get sick of the marriage partner thread, but you don't see me going in there, saying, "OMG, marriage means nothing in an online game! Stop it!"

Weird, huh?

Pretty much my exact thoughts

In terms of Dancer and the girl in the video potentially being a Dancer, another idea is potentially Advanced Jobs. You unlock the new job with the level 60 of two other jobs. It could explain why she seems so similar to Monk in some respects, but so different in other ways.

Level 60 Bard + Monk = Dancer
Level 60 Ninja + Dark Knight = Samurai
Level 60 White Mage + Black Mage = Red Mage

You're actually speaking some kind of sense - you need to stop doing that in these parts. Most compelling idea/argument for the DNC side I've read in 35 pages!

(That's honestly a very cool idea and with the battle system changes, not entirely out of the question. The only issue would be making them unique and balancing them in such a way to not make the base jobs redundant.)

Definitely. The easiest way to do that with at least 2 of them above is to make the final role not equal to either of the contributing roles. For example, RDM => Tank and Dancer => Healer. That would be hard to pull off in a way that makes sense though (i.e. why would a Bard + Monk make a healer?).

There was quite a bit of flame when SE locked the HW jobs behind 1 lv50 job and the 2.55 story, I don't think gating the SB new jobs behind 2 lv60 other jobs would be a good idea. And some comments from Yoshida after the HW release seemed to imply they would go the other way.
