Dancer Job

[Marael]

Well, SE painted themselves into a corner a bit by giving Daggers to Gladiator. Now, any job that classically uses Daggers (like THF) is going to have to have GLD as a base class, or else SE will need to provide some explanation as to why GLD can use THESE daggers but not THOSE daggers, and why THF/DNC/Whatever can use THOSE daggers but not THESE daggers.

It's a bit awkward.

SE could take an alternative route, since Dancers appear infrequently enough in FF lore that they aren't as tied to daggers as THFs are. They could be a hand-to-hand combatant based on PGL, or possibly give them an entirely new base class with a new weapon type (like whips).

Simple solution - GLD gets daggers, thief/dancer/whatever gets knives. Semantics, yes, but in FFXI daggers and knives were different classes of weapon, dancers could use knives, but not daggers. Also, in XI Dancer had reasonable hand to hand skill as well, so I could see them going that route too. Either way, I'm still interested to see how they would implement the job in this game, and what it's role in a party would be.
