There's not much unique-ness when it comes to tank jobs, are there?

[Razard]

Actually I was. The person I replied to said that SE can do whatever they want with the job. I responded and agreed that they could, and that they obviously ripped off Rune Fencer and Celes.

Why? Because it uses a greatsword? I'm sorry to tell you this but big swords have been a Dark Knight thing since ever. It certainly doesn't absorb magic.

And yes, complaining that the job doesn't cater to the edgy 15 year old demographic enough is a valid thing

No it isn't

since DRK in almost all of it's iterations has been about weakening it's foe(s), as well as killing itself to do damage only to get said hp back via drain abilities, dealing more damage while weaken, **dealing damage**, regardless of the character's own personal alignment. In short, I don't care what Cecil's goals, aspirations, or motivations were. Nor does the power that he wields. Nor should you.

And the point was thoroughly missed that day.

They done messed the job (At least from it's original design) up that SE established over many games. End of story. Now go back to playing your DERK Knight before you hurt yourself. Hope you enjoy it.

Oh my god why is FF4s version of the Dark Knight such a betrayal of how it was established from the previous version. Where is it's low level white magic?

I can do this too.

Now sit down.
