Hissatsu: Kaiten

[Jeeqbit]

Where is it known as that? In translations? In other media?

My understanding is Hissatsu is "Deathblow" and Kaiten is "Turning of the Heavens"

Dark Knight used to have an ability called "Dark Arts". You would press it to enhance your other actions and abilities. There (Dark Arts)was a (Dark Arts)big meme (Dark Arts)about (Dark Arts)how they would Dark Arts everything.

It was removed in Shadowbringers but Kaiten is used the same way, so you can see the other reason that might have contributed to the decision.

Hm, I wonder if this is hinting at some sort of spellblade job in the future. Because DRK *was* the "Rune Fencer" until SAM and RDM were released. And I still think SAM is basically just an eastern take on a Spellblade job.

For the record, I am against a Spellblade job for several reasons, and this--the dilution of existing job designs--is one of them.
