Try again.

in the video she don't use this, she is a dagger rope, what is totally different as type of weapon.... yoshida have said, no new weapon type for a jobs. means she is not a monk! she have her own jobs, what it will be we can speculate, but she is obviously not a monk. is not because she fight as a martial artist that she is one. another point, if they are both monk, why she have a moveset different? man = karaté, girl = kung fu.

a few stuff yoshida have confirmed that will never happend:
- no multiple weapon per jobs
- no different moveset depending of the sex or race (the moveset is define by the jobs)
- no treeskill, means you have no way to have two monk with 2 different skillset too.

they are absolute info from yoshida about what will be the jobs ingame. the red girl is not a monk, she use different weapon, she use different skill and she use different moveset.... then impossible in FF14. you can argue that older monk in FF4 or FF6 was looking similar, but we are in FF14 and we already have what define a monk in this final fantasy!

ohhh about featherfeet, it's a cross class skill.... the charge? the drk do have charge, do that make him a monk? when you create a class that will go by kicking like she seems to be. you will still have some skill that are basic between fighter.

finally i don't see the point to show us 2 monk fighting while showing 2 different style, since ingame we will always all have the same style. why? because creating another specialization for monk, means do it for every jobs.... it's too big as work and will never happend, they prefer work on new jobs.

oh by the way, yoshida have said, that instead to add another weapon type to a jobs, he prefer add a jobs that use this weapon type.

ps: i'm a monk since V1 i wish to get more skill and such, but... i can recognize what is a monk of what is not. 10 level means 5 skill, is not enough for make us change that much, worst, why the WoL will not have used this new skill, if they are new skill.

Everyone talk about a dagger hidden in her robe, I'm sorry I might be blind but I don't see that dagger anywhere ^^"
Plus, didn't they confirm during the key note that this was 2 monk ?

His point is that monks don't have a fixed set of weapons, they can wield swords, some of knuckles even look like rapiers, others like katars. On to the combat style, you missed right below the post you quoted.

First and foremost: That is not a dagger. It's a weighted piece of fabric. Secondly, She is using MONK/PUGILIST skills. Right after she atempts a kick and he blocks it, they bow and assume the exact same beginning pose. A DANCER wouldn't do that. Here's the break down of the fight:

1. After the supposed 'new weapon attack' she does tornado kick.
2. The WoL uses shoulder tackle, she blocks, jumps back, featherfoots, then shoulder tackles back.
3. She blocks, (one handed I might add) his forbidden chakra.
4. They block blow for blow, each punch and kick.
5. WoL does fist of fire, then she does fist of wind
6. Then in a cinematic flourish they dive at one another and the scene enters bullet time.

You absolutely cannot deny that. If you want to claim that because she flings a part of her outfit at him that it's a 'new' and 'confirmed' weapon type.. then How about these examples?

The WoL isn't using a weapon at all, the Bare/Freelancer job is confirmed!
The random guy is loading a cannon (and if you recall, they were using cannons in the heavensward cinematic), Cannoneer job double confirmed!
There were Garlean's using Gunblades in the End of an Era Trailer (they shoot the WoL), Magitek Knight job confirmed!
Rauhban used to dual wield swords, Berserker confirmed!
Merlwyb uses twin pistols, Musketeer confirmed!
Some of the Yellowjackets and Skypirates duel wield a sword and a pistol, Corsair confirmed!

Are those jobs in the game? Nope.. Have they ever been hinted at as being even in the works? Nope.. This girl is NOT a dancer. She is a Monk or a Pugilist.

Disregarding that she uses some of the exact same moves that are showcased in earlier final fantasy games cinematics by monks is folly. Plus, this entire thread was about the stormblood logo and the fact the the girl is wearing a single bladed gauntlet. Those gauntlets, or something similiar are already in game, and with what I listed, it shows that Special characters aren't restricted the same way we are with what we can and cannot equip.
