Stormblood Logo

You realize that saying "It definitely is" or "It definitely isn't" one way or the other is just going to make someone look like a pig-headed douche in the end, right?

Just stick to speculation and say why you think it is or why you think it isn't.

Calm yourself. It's just a game lol

This is why I am tired of dancer requests. They grasp at straws and latch onto everything.

The girl I circled in the logo looks more like a dancer, to me.

[Celef]

Well we can always speculate that the girl in red IS a monk who's style is close to dancer because of them being in the same area and being kind of 2 schools of mighan martial art.
So she is a monk but may know some dancer who could train us.

[Enkidoh]

There's also a falcon on top of someone; may be hinting on a beastmaster class. Just speculating on the 2nd one.

I wouldn't read anything into that though, as the logo artwork is done by Yoshitaka Amano and as part of his signature art style is that he likes to include embellishments in his art like that (with strange creatures and animals hovering around the main characters which have zero connection to them). It's most likely just for artistic effect and is not 'proof' of a new Job.

But then I've been proven wrong before!

I'd love Dancer.

So Monk's use one blade weapon? Cuz she only has one.



I thought mnk's used two, one in each hand...

If we can start using weapons outside the norm then I wanna use staff on my smn :/

Merlwyb, dual wields pistols. Raubhan used to dual wield swords. Some of the yellow jackets and sky pirates dual wield a sword and a pistol. Thancred, currently dual wields a sword and a dagger. NPCs aren't bound by the same rules of 'what can we equip.' If they want this 'mystery' monk to use a single bladed gauntlet, then they'll do it.

Yeah and they don't go by any specific jobs. Haha someone in the thread swears she is a MONK..she cannot be a monk if she does not wield the mnk weapon..if she is one of the unique npc's then she would also not have any given job just like the ones you mentioned..so ty for making my point more clear lol I didn't have time to type all that up earlier <3

How can we tell what jobs the NPC's are..does it say it somewhere, or sometime in the story? Afaik it never did nor is there a way to tell what job/class these special NPC's are.

edit: and then the real question is..if you insist they do have jobs, then what is Minfila? Also a mnk cuz she has no weapon? LOL They hinted at Thancred as a preview for NIN...but that's all I can remember...hahaha

Yda is a pugilist, she's been referred to as that in the story.

Papalymo is referred to as a thaumaturge.

Thancred first calls himself a bard. Even though he, up to 2.2 quite obviously used gladiator skills, now he's been called a rogue and looks like one when he draws his weapons.

Y'shtola has been referred to as a Conjurer, though she's quite often uses Collective Unconscious, which is an AST skill.

Milfilia had a single dagger, though she was never shown in combat so it's likely that she had no 'battle' class/job.

Urianger is an arcanist, however he wields a staff which is not possible by player arcanists, (though in the 3.4 story during his costume change he uses a book).

Alphinaud is an Arcanist, and as such wields a book and summon carbuncles of different colors.

Raubhan is a gladiator, and as I said in my post, used to dual wield swords. Though player gladiators are relegated to a single sword and shield.

That's just the scions and Raubhan. Most have classes, and use skills/weapons outside of what a player character can. So, by looking at the teaser trailer, with the fact that this mystery girl meets the WoL who has 100% been confirmed to be a monk with nearly the same fighting style, one can safely assume that she is a monk or a pugilist. NOT a dancer.

If it's revealed later that she is one, it'll be a first. Because up to this point, they have not showcased a single new job in any trailer. Plus, if dancer was the case, wouldn't have been more wise for Yoshi-P to have worn say a "Dance dance revolution" shirt instead of scarlet witch if they wanted to hint at that job?

Instead, they gave us a taste of the expansion, Ala Mhigo, the hand of Rhalgr (and the new hub) and two sparing monks. People are really grasping at straws and doing mental gymnastics to force a narative that isn't there. If Dancer is a job that we get with Stormblood, great! However, at this time there is absolutely nothing that we've been shown that even hints at it.
