Paladin Cure... Debate, warrior stuff

[Ruminate]

the ffxiv pld IS the Knight, unfortunately.

There can be no "unfortunately" because there is no such thing as a Paladin in FF games. Every time you see the word "Paladin" in a FF game, know that its actually "Knight".

You do understand that it is called Paladin in english because that is essentially what they chose to go with? It doesn't matter if the Japanese wording is "knight", the NA team will choose different terms and not always do a direct translation because sometimes there isn't even a direct translation. It might even be cultural based. You ever take the time to look at english names of things in FF games here then research what those names are in Japanese? Those Japanese sometimes choose weird names according to their so called english translation. It ranges from job names to zone names.


So essentially a Paladin is exactly what it says it is, a Paladin. Japan might call it a more generic term like Knight, doesn't mean the rest of the world has to.
