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

[Katana190]

daggers in reality are piercing weapons, yes. but in videogames, especially japanese ones, people tend to hold them backwards and whirling around to cut enemys with the blades... something wich is cool, yeah, but in reality you would be killed if you would try that xD

Just remember we're fighting big ass monsters for the most part, some guy on YT did a vid explaining how the combat in Witcher 3 for example makes sense because different martial arts would be developed to combat and target certain body parts by doing these uncoviental moves... buttttt for the most part I doubt FF thinks about that and it's just for the flashyness, but try to embrace it as being a special martial art to combat primals and the likes

Please, no hammers for tanks... Are really ugly. A gunblade since the katana is no longer possible is better.

I agree with most of your posts so don't get me wrong! But I have to disagree here, the Samurai tank dream is dead, and personally I really hope we don't get a Gunblade tank, seems too flimsy to be a tank weapon, just my opinion. Unless they make it a large gunblade, but then it's just meh because we already have DRK's wielding large swords.. I personally either want a Hammer tank but with a Crusader theme, be like PLD but using Holy Magic offensively or a Dual Wielding Tank, a tank that has the speed of MNK/NIN would be really interesting, either a finesse or magically properties

But I'll take a gunblade Tank if it's the next thing, for sure. Idm what they do as long as we get a new tank!
