For the sake of argument, Cecil deals insane damage as a paladin in FFIV, and the usefulness of his Cover ability is limited at best (I don't think I ever used it). I believe paladins in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance are quite strong attackers as well. Besides that, most main-series FFs don't even have true "paladins," and most single-player JRPGs have no concept of "aggro" whatsoever, and thus no concept of actively "tanking."[/QUOTE]

Cecil starts as a Dragoon, then becomes a Paladin. I remember this well, but I thought he was more a caster. Not so much a tank, as a NUKE caster. He was tanky, still DD in the end.

Cecil was never a dragoon. The fact that you say "I remember this well" makes it even more absurd.

He was also not a "nuke caster," whatever that means, as he had no offensive magic. I don't even understand what you're saying...
