    Not to be too technical but the definition of Paladin is even more vague, it really means "someone who fights for a cause" having originated in the Courts of Charlemagne, it meant someone who fought for Charlemagne's cause. (just a francophile here)

    Right, which is why I was careful to say "common traditional definition". Although it would've been more accurate to say "modern fantasy" definition, the definitions of modern fantasy are just plain f***ed by today's standards, and I was afraid to use those words.

    In Final Fantasy terms a Paladin was always a "Sword and/or shield user who used White Magic to assist in defending others from danger."

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.
