There Is No Dancer (yet)

To be fair: the only evidence we have for Red Mage is the Scarlet Witch T-Shirt and that's considered all but confirmed. So, uhm...yeah.

Considering Yoshi-P made a similar allusion to a future class 2 years ago wearing a Batman shirt; Dark Knight, I'd consider that more reliable than half the knee jerk reactions from the cinematic.

What if he knows everyone is expecting that and purposely misleads us this time? Moreover, doing such a gig twice in a row would just set expectations and is boring to boot. Clearly it's just a trap or nothing at all, people are just knee-jerk reacting to a random T-shirt because it alluded to something in the past.

Honestly, I'd just let people speculate.

The problem is this community loves to take speculation and get carried away with it. Doesn't take long to go from mere speculation to "SE promised X" or "Yoshi-P confirmed Y" and when it turns out those claims are false, the community turns on SE and blames them instead of owning up for their own knee-jerk idiocy.

Has anyone considered that they are both indeed monks,but (with higher budget and dropping of ps3) have male and female animations for the same job.

very unlikely, because it will recquire to do it for every job out, means more of 13 jobs.... that way too much even with abandonning the ps3.

Huh? when has that happened? I haven't personally seen any examples of what you're saying, I am genuinely curious.

While I have my doubts about it being dancer, it has to be pointed out that the animations she used in the trailer were exclusively pugilist abilities(demolish, snap punch, featherfoot, and fist of wind), so they could go the silly split soulstone route again. As far as the blade weapon is concerned though, there are far more monk weapons with blades than there are without them. Hell, the level 57 monk weapons is

Hey fellow Snuggle Owl

There is also the possibility that she has cross classed Pugilist abilities. It could be an NPC only thing, or part of the Additional Skill System Revamp they teased.

In terms of the blade, it's less that there is a blade on a MNK, it's more that it is such a focal point of key art work.
