Or it could be a nod at Shiva, given that it's a "rime kissed blade", rime being a layer of ice formed from water droplets, and it "Spills crimson o'er fields of white.", which is most likely snow.

That is speaking of some kind of event to happen in Coerthas. The first stanza speaks of a Spear of Light which could be both the Ishgard people who rule through religion and Halone who's symbol is a triple spear rune. Halone is also the Patron Goddess of the Ishgard.


Beckoning shadows deeper still, is some plot meaning. There are many shadowy people in Coerthas that hide among the Ishgard people, look at the story mission with the guy that pointed fingers at people.

Splendor dances in the shade...eh..I have a pandora's box vibe. Through all the horror and doubt released, hope was burried deep inside. So even though the times will be dark, there is a guiding light deep inside that will bring about hope.

Rime Blade....frost covered blade....an Icy Spear or sword perhaps. Ice is Halone's element, spear is her symbol...I heard tell of a Knight group in Ishgard so their swords (being the only idea for a Job class though second soul for the Gladiator seems unlikely most likely a new Tank class to go with both Gladiator and Marauder.

Crimson spilled over a field of white. There is going to be war in Coerthas....not like there isn't already a war going on now.


So the prophecy is more a foretelling of 2.2's story event than a class hint.



As for how soon it is, I completely disagree. 6 months after the release of the game is plenty of time to have gauged the overall specs of the individual classes and decide on whether or not we need a new one. Now is a perfect time to add in a new class if one is to be added.

A lot of the hints given do see to favor the Musketeer over anything else, though I'd really prefer a magic class.
