Wondering about an (new) Tanking class I would love :3

The main thing, that I am sure most people have noticed, is that the weapon is only a "dagger" by name. FFXIV's Ninja is actually wielding a ninja short sword, or a ninjatō, as it is commonly called.

I'm somewhat familiar with Japanese swords and other tools of the trade. As for the ninjatō, there is very very few in game. The level 50 relic weapon for example and what is glamoured to my ninja. If you look at the majority of of the in-game ninja weapons, they are most definitely not ninjatō, as ninjatō only have 1 sharp edge.





Daggers on the other hand can have both sides sharpened.


a dagger has certain definable characteristics, including: a short blade with a sharply tapered point, a central spine or fuller, and usually two cutting edges sharpened the full length of the blade.
