Red Mage Dark Knight?!?!??!

Decent Photoshop effort, but its fake.

[Enkidoh]

Yeah, it's definitely fake - official concepts shown in the Live Letters normally have 'Confidential' and SE copyright notes clearly shown on them. This has it blanked out along with the artwork titles. The DRK did look convincing, but the RDM is so clearly doctored it looks like a MS Paint job.

[Windseraph]

I don't think this is actually about the art per se, it's more about the fact that these two classes need to be in the game fullstop, which I whole-heartedly agree with, Red Mage hnnnggghhhh <3

[ToraoKoga]

Though its fake I like the dark knight

[Axlle10]

i would like both, would be nice to see how they would play with other classes.

[kingatlas]

honestly, idc about either one of them.
I do respect that red mage has been around since the first ff. In that way, red mage and thief both need to be around.

But I would like something different, a class that not the same as the other in usage.
Dark knight looks cool, plays boring.

I want something different. Something not like the other classes already in the game.
Musketeer does sound interesting.
Other things that would be cool and play differently, like chemist, blue mage, even ninja.

Musketeer does sound interesting.

Musketeer is just a guy with a gun. I'd imagine it playing like ARC without the movement speed increase song.

Speak for yourself bud. I was Dark Knight main in FFXI and I loved every bit of it. I was never bored in exp parties or any other content. I enjoy heavy hitting dps classes in general, although I hope there is some more flashiness to the standard weaponskills for FFXIV's Drk. However, given the lackluster animations on many current melee dps weaponskills... well, I guess we'll have to sit and wait and see.

I just wish I didn't have to wait until an expansion to even hope to see Dark Knight become realized.

My only fears are that they screw up Drk completely somehow and turn it into a tanking job. That would probably ruin it for me, and quite possibly the entire game (for me).

Granted, when Dark Knight is released in XIV, it'll likely be nothing quite like it was in XI which could be good or bad depending on the ultimate outcome.

Red Mage would need it's own class I think, or be one of those hybrid classes that were mentioned that would require both CNJ and THM, but I can't see that coming for a long while.

Blue Mage I think would work well as a tank coming from the Gladiator class. Just give them an ability at 30 to learn Blue Magic from monsters, there's plenty of unique defensive and offensive moves out there that mobs use.

Only job I wish they would add is dancer.
