Dark Knight... Please

[Jabo]

I would love a Great Sword Dark Knight-like class.
I would prefer a class over a job, though.
The classes now are all fun, but there isn't a class now were i feel any connection. It still feels for me, that i am stuck with them.

But i can wait. Nevertheless, it wouldn't hurt to know, if there is a class like that in the pipeline.

i prefer a scythe to a greatsword.. but greatsword would still be great^^

On second thought, Scythe always felt like a defining weapon for Dark Knight, it would be great having it back, and great sword at the same time, both work nicely! XI did it real nice!

I'm sure we'll see a class like DRK eventually. If they do Jobs like they did in FFXI, we'll see plenty of them over the years.

By the way, just a friendly reminder that this is the incorrect board for posting suggestions and feedback on the game. Despite the misleading name, this board is for suggestions and feedback on the website and forums.

Edit:
Thanks for reminder but actually I read in more than one place and just again a minute ago, that apparently these forums have been updated to accept game feedback too, but the description has never been updated. Perhaps this needs to be clarified?

A greatsword class would be great a dark knight greatsword class even better.

Scythe is some gathering tool not the defining weapon of a drk thats for sure. The class started with Sword in the series anyway and in xi the guy that gave you the class had a greatsword.

im pretty sure i heard somewhere that dark knight's main weapon will be a sling shot.

i imagine you'll see most of the jobs you've seen in FF XI, its good to have variety and those classic jobs that everyone enjoyed, i'd figure that would be a bigger selling point for the game's PS3 campaign.

It's the habit of most people I've run into to say, "This isn't FFXI" with regards to the naming of new classes. However, the way I see it, this is a Final Fantasy title, and the reason most of us return to the franchise is there is a longstanding connection with the 'jobs' we enjoyed in past titles.

That being said, I don't give much stock to the argument that this game would be any less its own entity if the demand for our favorite classes being revisited. There's honestly not much out there that hasn't been done before, in one respect or another, no matter what RPG style game you come from. "This isn't FFXI"? Yeah, well, FFXI wasn't FF tactics, but the classes were there. We know what we like.

All the above to finally address the post directly. DRK or something similar(Black knight, Dragon knight, w/e) definitely seems like a possiblity, and I would love to see it It's just not going to feel quite like DRK without a scythe. I know tons of people, those anxiously awaiting PS3 release and current players alike, who will be sorely disappointed without a scythe if such a class arises.

The weapon system is a redo in my opinion anyway. If GLD, of all classes, can use daggers, then surely they can manage to throw a GS and a SCY in there.

I'd like to say the weapon system is going to be redone but based on the information i've seen thus far it looks bleak as much as i dislike that, maybe it will be tweaked maybe switching daggers to something else as well as the addition to new weapons but i still think every class/job will be locked 1 to 1, but yeah i don't see any point changing any job names its a final fantasy trademark, i mean dark knight, paladin and dragoon among a few more all were featured in Final Fantasy 2 U.S.A. and some jobs in earlier FF games, i think all these new names for stuff that we currently have was possibly something that come from tanaka maybe trying to sell something new or out of just not wanting to be known for rehashing stuff.
