There Is No Dancer (yet)

[Balipu]

People hyped about Dancer and here i am drooling for a Gunblade Job.

Mix of Two Jobs, so it might be that the Girl in the Trailer is a Garlean and a mix of Monk and Dancer? It would explain the Monk skills used along with the Cloth Slashes.

Well we might get gun katana or gun rapier for samurai or red mage. I'm hoping for gun rapier.

As for the b**ch in the red dress, I'm sticking with her being Yda's sister. She being sudenly mentioned in the lorebook is too perfect of a coincidence. Till we get an official name I'm going to call her Ada. For obvious reasons.

I don't think garleans are mixing two jobs actually. They just take advantage of their weapons being gun weapons. It's kinda their thing. That's why I believe red mages might get gun rapiers. 20 years of Garleans rule probably left its mark. RM likes duality anyway. Melee and ranged, white magic and black, physical and magic. Why not add tech and magic to the mix?

I think she isn't Yda either like many people speculated, anyway my only problem with Red Mage is if it is a tank.

As for the Girl in the trailer doesn't need to be Garlean either, it's just an NPC that can do multiple Jobs, like many others already in the game, hence a hint at Dancer.

I am guessing that Sam will be a tank class this time around, for no other reason than it would almost single-handedly solve the lack of tanks and queue time problems the game is suffering from right now. That kind of silver bullet solution would be very appealing to the devs.

We are still suffering from the dang lack of tanks even when putting DRK in there.
They need to stop putting everyone most wanted job as a tank.
People just don't like tanking as much as DPSing, luckily, people like healing a lot more because queue times in Aether end-game, are rarely instant.
Yosh himself said he wanted SAM to be a DPS. So if he follows with what he says, we are limiting the options
to what RDM will be.

I'm still positive Minfilia is a Monk

Ugh if they made dancer a tank id be so sad lol

I want it to be a damage dealer ; ; please don't turn dancer into a 1 2 3 , 1 2 3 4 job D:

Also it would be silly , tanks wear armor and dancers wear light clothing...i know, I know, the glamour system etc but it would still be weird to me..

Just my two cents lol

I couldn't care less if it is, or isn't Dancer, but my immediate impression was, "Wow, it's Dancer."

Going through art school has taught me one thing if nothing else- Design is done with deliberate reasoning, almost always. There was a storyboard for this. There were discussions of what they'd show (from the full trailer/reel). Presumably, they knew Dancer was something the community wanted (the same way they were aware of the community knowing Ala Mhigo was our new destination). Considering all of those things... It's kind of hard to believe that they'd approve the trailer without knowing it'd be alluding to Dancer.

Hey, but it could be a red herring. Maybe the dancing was alluding to the fighter's whimsical nature, or their identity more than the Job itself. What do I know, anyway?

Honestly if we ever see Dancer, I think it wouldn't belong from Ala Mhigo, but from Thavnair. (Red Mage would be from Sharlayan because of mastering the technique of using both black and white magic simultaneously. A nation with great knowledge would fit much more.)

I'm still positive Minfilia is a Monk

Minfilia has no known combat prowess whatsoever.

They should've just made Machinist the gunblade job and made it not like Bard but more of what you suggested. Lost opportunity if you ask me.

I was under the impression that's how dps jobs work...
A set combination of buttons most of the time...

On smn I def do not press 1 2 3 over and over lol but that might explain awful dps...if they are playing it as simple as the tank rotations...rip

For this effect i believe you are right, snd this thread shows proof of that tease going into our heads. The action shown though i feel is 2 monks or pugilists fighting, some things about that outfit and beginning definately elude to a convincing argument both ways. Things like the moonfire faire this year doesnt help, and subtle inferences like that that was showcasing the number of new jobs or something, also eludes us to believe it could be a reference.
