So, is that a dagger? (In the new concept art.)

[Balfreid]

It's funny because I just pointed this out last night to my roomate when I saw it.
He is holding it quite weird for it to be a bow. And is holding it a lot like a hilt from a dagger.
Even though everyone I know was like "Thats the BRD" well the artists kinda did a bad job at
portraying that cause that is a damn dagger. -stares at the negative space in between the weapon and the shoulder-

. . . it does look like the monk Leviathan weapon. But there's already a mnk there . . . mysteries.

And yet again to point it out.

It'd be a monk wearing healing gear if the person we're pointing out is indeed a Thief or a Monk. /shrug.

Gladiator > Thief?

The only class in game that uses daggers right now are gladiators.

This is inherently impossible due to the way Gladiator is structured as a class. So much hacky skill-changing would have to occur that it wouldn't be worth it to not just create a new class. Gladiator has no interesting DPS combos and all of its skills are focused on enmity generation and reducing incoming damage.

Well i highly doubt GLA will go into Thief since Yoshi-P has stated months ago he has plans for a Scout Class which will go into Thief/Ninja.

Also on the topic of future Jobs, Yoshi-P has mentioned Future Jobs will have more serious effects on class skills later such as the GLA going into Dark knight example he used while discussing this stating that GLA skills will be adjusted to suit his or her new Job and Role such as...

GLA Enmity combo is changed by removing Enmity effect or replacing Enmity effect with DPS buffs while having potency increased while more serious change is Flash (AoE Enmity skill) being replaced by Darkness (AoE Damage skill)

It does not mean GLA will get Dark Knight as 2nd Job but Yoshi-P enjoys using GLA and Dark Knight a lot when discussing future jobs.

Plus there are already 2 people with 2h Rod/Staff weapons, so WHM and BLM are already accounted for.

You can't really tell if the second Lala is using a staff or holding onto a railing to keep from falling off the platform. Its an artistic rendition of the fight so its not going to be 100% accurate. The pole that she's holding looks like a piece of railing so I wouldn't put it as she's holding a 2 handed rod or other White Mage weapon.

The Miqo'te does however have a set of breasts apparently. The way the curve goes towards the front and the action pose don't meet eye to eye. The clothes would be snug against her body defining her front more than normal. It could be a generic short hair that's being pushed back due to the action post to look like male hair.


That weapon is still totally dagger like though. Won't say it says new class though cause that's wishful thinking to say something pops up before Musketeer with it being all but actually available to be played.


Dragoon's weapon also magically disappears behind the Paladin for some odd reason. Based on the angle it should have reappeared near the Paladin's shoulder

This certainly qualifies as a mystery in my book. Now, a lot of people are saying "promo art is promo art and nothing more", and with any other game that might be true. However, thus far SE has shown a stalwart commitment to making sure that art is entirely game-accurate. So that "dagger" could absolutely be something. What, I don't know.

That's the BRD..9 jobs in the game currently, 9 ppl in the artwork...whether it looks like a bow or not..thats the BRD.

There are only 8 player characters depicted in the artwork, which is to be expected since this is 8 man content. And there is literally no reason that the character in question needs to be a bard. Neither mechanically or artistically. Not to mention it's simply impossible that what he's holding is a bow.
