    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?

    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.
