There Is No Dancer (yet)

[Kaurie]

I'd say this is not "Dancing" but kata training. Really close to what Yang and/or his daughter do in the opening CG for FF VI DS and After Years.

I am not familiar with the reference. Though, the argument makes sense. It appears like a dance to me, and I am not very familiar with martial arts to compare.

Yes, because she's more trained than him.

Except she uses only Pugilist abilities and he uses Monk ones.

Several monk skills use kick instead of punches. In fact, the first active skill we ever see a Monk have is Kick (Yang again)

I am fully aware that Monks in the game kick. This was to point out that they are making an active effort in the cutscene to differentiate their fighting style. Whether that is because she is a Dancer, or because of some other reason, I have no idea.

Some people also speculate than the two silhouettes we saw at Fan Fest pointed to only two jobs.

I am one of those people, actually Tough to say though, we'll see what we get.

The fact that we can have a Dancer doesn't imply that the woman is a Dancer. Until now, no trailer has been used to reveal something prior to the actual annoucement. You could also say that one of the ranger being covered in red could be a hint to RDM. Or maybe they were using skills in combat that could imply something else (I, personaly don't remember if they did)

Agreed, this is more supporting evidence than evidence in and of itself/


I would say the most compelling evidence to me is the focus on her weapon in the artwork. This could simply be that the weapon has story significance (Royalty etc.), but it's focused on both of the revealed artworks I linked above. That is too much to ignore.

All of that said, I appreciate your response and like that you addressed points individually and directly - rather than just making some blanket statement about grasping at straws or having no evidence etc. I would say though that while your answers provide explanations, there is nothing to say they are the correct explanations - just one possibility.
