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

One Hand Gauntlet Knife

Slight problem here. MNK's have several weapons that fit this mold including the spring action blade on drawing. Now we can take two things from this. Either she is using a custom NPC weapon much like Thancred has unmatching knives, or all bladed fist weapons migrate to DNC. The latter would technically be borderline impossible due to the Kaiser Knuckles being a claw weapon. PGL's are also described to use both Cestus style and claw style fist weapons.


I have to ask though, do you really want DNC so badly that you're okay with it being a clone of MNK? I have to stress as a practicioner of Baguazhang that her "dance" is honestly just a Piquaquan form with more sharpness than normally shown. In fact After watching it the second time I firmly believe they were emphasizing the classic duality of Chinese martial arts; Soft and Hard. Even more so that she was representing Piguaquan(soft) and he Bajiquan(hard); two styles born of one original style.

But as far as Spider-Man representing DNC I have no grounds to argue, only that I lean more towards BLU, BST, or something new. I only hope that if it is DNC it has more identity than "more flowy monk". I personally would vote more towards a caster-type that equips whips or fans and has short dances for its cast time and attack animation.

When did they say both were and where did they say that?
At FanFest Yoshi-P confirmed the guy is MNK and its the new AF gear he will wear at level 70.

Nah he never said that they are both Monks...you are correct Yukiko

In fact the opposite: http://gamerescape.com/2016/11/15/fa...-fan-festival/

F: The equipment the Warrior of Light was wearing, is that monk’s job specific gear?
Y: The warrior of light wears monk’s job specific gear. That will be monk’s first gear in end-game.
F: And the woman’s gear…?
Y: Have no idea. (laugh)
F: But people whose main job is monk would surely want to fight in that.
Y: The image of her the trailer is that she fights with one style of martial arts.
F: But in the end it turns out she is a Dancer!
Y: There are people that speculate that. It is very strange that those opinions mostly come from Japan, though. I haven’t heard that speculation from other regions. A lot of Japanese think it is “monk vs. dancer”. But… it has been only 10 hours since the announcement.
F: What do you think about those speculations?
Y: No comment. (laugh)

That kinda makes Dancer look more likely.

That's Yoshida's response to every interview when asked similar questions lol.

Honestly, at this point those who want dancer will do all sorts of mental acrobatics to twist 'facts' into believing it's coming. Just gotta wait till February when the last job is announced and they come to the board to rage about: "DANCER WAS CONFIRMED! WHY WAS IT SCRAPPED LAST MINUTE! I'M GOING TO QUIT *RRRAAAAGGGGEEEE*" Will definitely be lol worthy to see.

Or we may even get info on the girl on Tuesday ^^ Or maybe some job hints lol. Will be interesting...

Yeah, it will be nice to have confirmed proof that the girl is a monk and it's Yda or her sister Tuesday. Though I doubt the desire for dancer will die completely until February. I've even heard die-hard dancer people say that even if it isn't announced at the last Fan Fest, they expect it to come in like ROG/NIN did in a patch. Mental Acrobatics at it's finest.

Or maybe dancer gets confirmed but its nothing like the trailer girl, who will turn out to be a monk. But yes, this is like the tinker class for wow. Everything is a confirmation that it is comming.

In the end the discussion about dancer as a possible job is exactly the same about it being a Blue Mage because "reasons". I mean this whole thread is about the speculation of a shirt with the wildest reasons, yet somehow people that speculate that the girl is a dancer are the worst?

We dont know anything. They could turn around and make four new jobs (Red, Blue, Samurai, dancer) or we will only get two. Maybe the girl is a dancer but we wont get it as a new job. Or maybe we are all wrong and the next class is something completely different. But Yoshida wants some discussion for this so why are some people trying to stop it? Its really funny to read some speculation and as long as its without any hurtful comments why not just let people speculate whatever they want? And if its about wrong information one can still counter it but why try to be so aggressive about it?

I am happy about any class we get as long as its fun to play. At the same time I enjoyed reading all the reasons in this thread until it somehow turned away from being a funny, simple discussion to people putting others down for their opinions..If you dont think that its going to be class X because reason Y..well thats fine. But why try to change peoples mind? Why not ignore it and just post your own speculation about the next reveal? Its really sad. :/
