    I'm sure you are aware that iconic is the adjective form of icon, and Eikon, though the spelling is more archaic, is a proper noun form of icon.

    And please don't insult my intelligence, I haven't insulted yours. The reason people are scrutinizing the proper term is because of the imagery it conjures up. For instance, when people say Relic, meaning the weapons. Relic has become an overarching term, like jacuzzi or band-aid. But if people wanna refer to a specific weapon they'll say Zodiac, or Anima, or Eureka. But on the other hand what about jobs that have similar names, but different iterations. Conjuerers have been in FF games before but none of them act like the one found in FFXIV. Same with Astrologian and Gladiator. And what about Paladin? In Japanese they are just called Knights but not in English. But Knight is a job found in other FF games as well. So which one is the "true" version. None of them are, but some are more iconic. That's the concern. You are not wrong by any means, but to say true is inaccurate and can be a bit misleading.

    Think of it this way. Vivi from XI was designed as an iconic BLM, not a true BLM. But Lulu is just as much a BLM as him but not an iconic BLM; she is iconic for another reason though, lol.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.
