I know however, monks do not fight with cloth and break the armory system we have by using a one handed retractable blade and cloth ><

I am not saying she is a dancer 100%, but I can confirm following the armory system this woman is not a monk by normal standards. Monks use two handed weapons..she just has the blade. (You can find more artwork of her with the blade and CGI images and read about it in interviews) The second the trailer was first shown my boyfriend and I looked at each other and jynx said "DANCER!!!" because, well..I do dancing for a living and we do Aerials all the time along with all the other stuff she did...so that is what instantly popped up in our head. The beginning part where it shows her looks exactly like a lot of the dances I do.
After that though, with the kicks and such..I can see where people relate it to a monk, for sure.
Anyway though, I would say...if she is not a dancer she is just simply a unique NPC with no particular job.
And to answer someone else asked why we see it as a FF dancer or how it fits in? I think just the way Yoshida put in MCH (It is nothing like the MCH in FF12 or FFT) I can see him doing the same with dancer. In the original FFT, Dancer was a pure debuffer and you would just try to hide them in a safe corner and dance. The dance would go off randomly and hit every monster on the field, regardless of how far away they were. Most dancers in the FF series were like this. The one in FFV was awful however, and barely did anything at all. It had an ability called "Flirt" haha.
So yeah, I would hope if Yoshida is bringing DNC to this game...he does not make it traditional at all, how lame would it be to just stand there and dance and randomly hit monsters in the entire instance? That does not even make sense. Of course it would have to change to fit into FFXIV as every job as thus far. Look at summoner...haha.
Also I wonder if people think SAM will be like SAM in FFT or the original FF Samurai. I guess you better have tons of inventory space because you'll need to carry around disposable swords. Also SAM was always VERY slow. In FFT it would take forever to get its turn...and then it would pull out the sword and either heal near by PT members, restore MP, or do some attack on near by mobs then go back to standing there. Oh and every time you took out the sword to use one of the Samurai's skills, it could break lol.
In FF5 SAM would throw money..haha. So just saying, its okay to put in traditional FF jobs..be it SAM or DNC, but they'd have to be changed a bit :P
