So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

All I know is if Dancer does become the next job, I would like it to be less monk-like.

Way less monk-like than the trailer.

Don't need a monk clone when we already have monk.

Agreed. And Dancer should not at all look like Monk.

Monks are all about discipline and the Martial Art above all else. Dancers should be all about the art first, and then the fighting. Kind of Xena's acrobatic prowess with a bit less brutal violence blended with Gabriel's more artistic sensibility...and veils, lots of veils.

Well if you think about it all three healers have a lot of basic moves that look similar the major difference is their weapon and their signature moves. AST is a copy of SCH ans WHM except for their signature moves (cards). The difference in weapons changes the animations but deep down a lot of the actions do the same thing. I bet dancer will look like a mix of Monk and Nin, with signature dance moves.

And they said that was a mistake and they will never repeat it again.

No, the mistake was having SCH/SMN share Arcanist as a base class. It lets you level 2 jobs at once. That is the big mistake. Its why MNK/DNC wouldn't share Pugilist, for example.

Ok, but if they hadn't shared the base job, they probably wouldn't look and fight similarly.

Spiderman shirt = Way Of The Spider = Dancer Same style as the girl in the Stormblood Trailer.

To explain "dancer will happen" lets try it the easy way:
Heavensward - shown Jobgear was Dragoon
Stoormblood - shown jobgear was Monk

But then we have the girl: Jobgear Monk is already confirmed: its the one from the guy! Redmage is the one from Teaser, so what other job could have such a gear? Dancer!

I would like to point something more interesting - while "he" is wearing gloves as weapon, what is "she" wearing? To attack with a "kick" could be a hint to tell us her weapon are the shoes, the feet... well lets forget about the "kick" and just ask directly: is she wearing any weapon? What weapon could it be for dancer because in ffxiv we change job by changing weapons!

They are the only healer class that does not rely on magic.

One other interesting thing: Matoya!

In the "Tome of Darkness, the Dancer's Tale: The Dancer of The Battlefield", the Warriors of Darkness meet a dancer named Matoya. At the end of this chapter, the Warriors gain access to the Dancer job.

Matoya is a witch from the original Final Fantasy who lives in a cave. She cannot see without the use of a special Crystal Eye, which was stolen from her by the sorcerer Astos.

My guess is that dancer is the 3rd job, same as astrologean was 2015.

A little off topic but I've been meaning to ask. Is that hairstyle the one from the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding? Or from one of the books you buy in the Gold Saucer? I tried making a female Miqo'te once and all the hairstyles just irked me really bad. That one is actually very nice, and I wish there were more hairstyles like that available to all races.

It's almost like she's a unique named story character and thus warrants a unique costume that only she gets, to go along with her unique twist on being a monk which may or may not be reflected in game at all if she ever fights (she will use her fists etc.)

Once again people are so desperate for dancer they're willing to accept a knockoff monk in order to get it. SE's not gonna do that.

Some of you really need to look at the Thavnairian bustier.. It's basically what the girl in red is wearing and it's already in game. She is a monk. Period.
