Ah yes, because male dancers only ever wear bikinis and thongs. Never in human history has a male dancer worn anything masculine ever.As much as I love the idea of meteor in skimpy little dancer gear, I just don't think they'd get away with it. It gives the dude bro crowd something to power fantasize over if meteor is dressed up in some tank or melee gear.
We'd get even more people screaming that FFXIV has gone "woke" if they dressed up their poster child in a white mage dress.
With this game's artifact dancer gear? No, they're not what the average person would consider masculine. Never did I say male dancer's haven't worn anything masculine ever, but with the dancer gear they've given us in the past (and the concept art for the dnc AF gear for evercold we saw), I don't think they're going to change that anytime soon.




Using Evercold’s dancer Artifact gear concept art is irrelevant because of meteor ever does get featured as a dancer, it won’t be for Evercold. I would imagine if they made that decision, the artifact gear of that expansion would feature something more heroic for the masculine set. For as little as they like to innovate on artifact gear, dancer’s masculine sets actually have been fairly different across expansions.With this game's artifact dancer gear?

It has nothing to do with masculine or feminine. all expansions had featured jobs that made sense thematically. In the next one,he will be a reaper.
Dancer boat sailed in SHB and it would have been weird to be dancer because they used the female Viera, which they were launching to introduce the class.

Okay, someone needs to explain to me where this idea comes from that there’s any question or doubt about what job he’s repping in the Evercold trailer because I feel like I’m having a stroke. He’s very clearly a reaper in the trailer and the title reads: “can meteor’s next job not be melee?”It has nothing to do with masculine or feminine. all expansions had featured jobs that made sense thematically.

I do recall seeing someone predicting they might replace Reaper Meteor with Zero in a later fanfest and have Meteor rep one of the new jobs.
Probably a stretch but would be kinda funny if they do something like that.
and what class would he be to make the most sense then in that context? WHM? Please..Okay, someone needs to explain to me where this idea comes from that there’s any question or doubt about what job he’s repping in the Evercold trailer because I feel like I’m having a stroke.

People still refuse to acknowledge that nobody besides gearing melees cares about the melee gear differences
It isn’t “scouting and maiming” it’s “two melee”
As a healer main in this game for nigh on 14 years all I can say is that I’m tired. My role has been eroded of complexity and expression for 3 expansions. I’ve watched the tanks do my role for me for 2 expansions and my feedback and critiques continue to fall on deaf ears.
I have no idea who modern healers are designed for but I know now it’s not me. This is the first expansion I’m truly considering dropping the healer role and not returning, so if that was the goal- congratulations I guess
