Because Elves, Gnomes, Humans and Catpeople aren't common fantasy stock races at all.

You're playin yourself if u think ffxiv was not heavily influenced by ffxi...its not my fault i loved and enjoyed drk as a DPS for YEARS in ffxi...but again i dont expect any of the new crowd to understand. Carry on with this broken mess of a job and let me daydream about the glory days

Spoiler: Popular Final Fantasy based MMO inspired by OTHER Final Fantasy Games. Who would have thought.

Look, there's nothing wrong with nostalgia. But what you're proposing would take time, and more importantly money away from other parts of the game that no doubt need it more than the wishes and hopes of a small minority on the forums.

Guessing none of you played ffxi....new fans no og's....lol makes sense

that's true, i didn't played FFXI.

i played FFXIV and i am perfectly fine with the fact that DRK is a tank, and i don't want to lose my favorite tank- and main class.

i guess you can understand that, since it seems you lost your favorite dps class...

broken mess of a job

How would someone like you even know what the current state of DRK is

[Pastahnak]

It's not totally ridiculous to want Drk to be a dps, it has been a high dps throughout all of FF games. That being said it's a little too late besides if they suddenly went with job variants like WoW but I don't see that happening. I like drk where it is in it's role here and it's the prime example of ff14 devs saying any job from previous threads can swap to a different role if design fits. Now if they could make Drk function like the other tanks I'd get around to playing it, here's hoping to 4.3 changes

Yes, instead of fixing it, the devs should absolutely scrap things and start over because you think anybody cares about your nostalgia.

I find it's more useful to consider Dark Knight as an analog to Terror Knight from Tactics Ogre. All 3 Heavensward jobs drew more inspiration from Tactics Ogre than Final Fantasy in many of their design decisions, this is further cemented by the Terror Knight set being available in the original Heavensward launch. The difference is instead of tanking based on a fear aura, it's a dark aura with a drain aspect.

The Dark Knight job doesn't though... lol.
