Bad Speculation - How do you get DRK from GLA?

[Steady]

In FF4... Dark Knight and Paladin both were Sword and Shield...
Also, in FF10-2, Dark Knight was a blood tank, hmmm, what else, haha.

Yes, Cecil was DRK, and then turned PLD. But when you look at the abilities, they made NO sense at all for DRK. Unless they opt to make DRK a tank (god forbid) Gladiator seems a dead end as far as abilities go.

in FFXI DRK was a heavy armor wearing damage dealer, who's abilities consisted largely of using HP to increase damage, increasing attack at the expense of defense, and was kinda like Marauder + Lancer in this game. They used 2 handed scythes and greatsword.... and I think they'd disappoint ALOT of people if they didn't do something similar.

*Edit - Having a hell of a time trying to find Dark Knight Cecil with a Shield...... I'm fairly certain it doesn't exist.
