There Is No Dancer (yet)

[Remus]

speaking of which isnt there a boss in xelphato[ that uses dual fans
'

Only one fan and that was just the WHM garuda weapon made giant.

[LadyKairi]

Fans. I want dancer to dual wield fans. That would be soooo freakin coool.

YESSSSSS! I would love that. I could imagine their movement being similar to Chang'e's from smite, but with fans (mainly since I have no experience with any FF dancers :x I just love chang'e's graceful attacks)

That attack doesn't even look that different from the slashing lines you get from Demolish. Cutscenes have a lot of artistic freedom, so you have to take all their attacks with a grain of salt (in terms of matching in-game abilities).

Because Demolish has a slashing lines animation like that, I don't think that ability is very telling. It could be a new monk ability or just a movement that looked good for the trailer.

Having played through the Palace of the Dead as a Monk and seen what all the Monk can do in the upper levels, I'm going to have to start leaning to the side of the Lady in Red (LoRe if we abbreviate it) simply being another Monk in the story after all.

However, I am still holding out hope that SE will, someday, make the Dancer a playable job. The speculation was fun, but now I'm eager to hear more about the Red Mage ♥.

Preach on! o7

Really wondering how long the devs are going to drag out the tease for the jobs. We got "Confirmation" of Red Mage at the NA Fan Fest. Will we see a full reveal and details at the European? More teasing? Will others be teased in similarly blatant ways? Will we have to wait all the way till Japan's Fan Fest for concrete details?

I only really started following the minute details of the game's development just before Heavensward's launch, so I'm totally unaware how they laid things out back then. Anyone with that experience want to weigh in?

If they do it like HW, JP Fanfest will confirm RDM and tease another job, and EU fanfest will confirm the second job. (And maybe a third)

Watched the video again and it's totally my opinionmore than clear that we seeing a Dancer with Martial Arts moves. Specially her intro.

Fixed that for you. If it's a speculation thread, you shouldn't ever use something like "more than clear".

Oh, Japan is before Europe? Hadn't double checked the dates and for whatever reason I thought Japan was last, and EU was next.

This girl is as much as a "dancer" (i.e. the well known FF Job "dancer", which utilizes Dances for different status effects, also likely with their reccurring signature attack ability "Sword Dance/Blade Dance/Saber Dance/Quiver Sword") as any given gold Saucer NPC is a "gambler" (i.e. the well known FF job "gambler", which battle abilities consist of random effects that are extremely powerful when successful, but detrimental if unsuccessful and a recurring signature attack ability called "Slots").
