You have a very elastic idea of "dumb". You don't even talk about "tanks" in offline games, as the trinity is a characteristic of MMORPGs. FFXI is the only other online installment of Final Fantasy, ergo Dak Knights have never been tanks.
That isn't true. the Terminology is older then MMO's. so is the "Trinity" though in FF's its never been a true trinity. Its always a Mix of 6 roles.

Tank, DD, Status, Healer, Elemental, Suberter.

Which Magically is exactly what the first 6 jobs are as well.

War, Monk, Red Mage, White Mage, Black Mage, Thief.

Just depending on how many character slots you mixed them up and sometimes fit two of those 6 on one character.

Tank/DD, Healer/Status, Subverter/Elemental, Elemental/Status


Also Just about Every Final Fantasy not all but most, Have this ability called Cover. Its a neat ability. It makes one character jump in front of another and defend it. Much like a Tank would.
