There Is No Dancer (yet)

MNK movements aren't as fluid as Yda's in the trailer, and she was definitely dancing at the start. PUG could branch off into MNK/DNC.

Posts like this annoy me because you're spreading misinformation.

First OFF: Yoshi said in the key note during the comparison picture of the two with red and blue aura. He points to the Warrior of Light and says, "This WoL is a MNK. MNK is the main theme because he used to be a DRG now he is a MNK."

So for all of you that are saying there is a confirmation that he is saying both are MNKS. Prove it - because he does not give any indication whatsoever.

Now for reasons I THINK it MIGHT be DNCER.

Her moveset is very fluid.
She jumps him from the beginning. (He was focusing, friendly spar.)
She uses what looks to be a very VISIBLE jig after he knocks her back. (she dances in place.)
She LOOKS to be using Florish indicated by the slashing effects.
Her concept art shows her with a small dagger.
As a LONG time DNC main in FFXI it just looks like A DNC to me.


Also during the Ranger event - I heard that Yoshi said that those might represent upcoming classes.
The Yellow Rangers POSE is FFXI Dancer's Pose.




I'm not confirming it is. I could be wrong, and being bias. But don't shut peoples speculations down and spread false information.
Thanks.

I also do not believe that is Yda but mayhaps her sister?
Yda is clearly a Monk, this fluid movement of this lady in red is much different

Just as Thancred was a BRD and is now a Rogue. It's FF14, everyone changes jobs/classes. Also, with it hinted at Yda being Ala Mhigan royalty or someone of importance (can't deny that the female hyur in the trailer looks classy), could very well be the same person. They look near identical as well with the hair and eys being a clear giveaway. inb4 'no tattoo, no yda', the woman wears a necklace which could very well cover her tattoo up.

They already said it was 2 monks fighting after the key note was done in Fanfest.

Noo don't say that, because 99% of the believers would think its dancer still .

Honestly, I don't like the idea of this being a dancer. It's too similar to monk and would add yet another melee dps to the mix when we're still lacking a variety of other class types. I know that Yoshi P heavily alluded to RDM with his Scarlet Witch shit, and I can't see them basically confirming dancer as a class as well before the other two fanfests. Personally I think the trailer just depicts two MNKs.

It's important to remember that this is a cinematic and is therefore not completely representative of what's in game. Just because she uses some moves that MNKs don't, it doesn't automatically make her a new class. It's also been said that we are going to meet this NPC in the near future - and as we know, NPCs don't often follow the rules imposed on us as players in game. We also have no idea how the classes we currently have will be evolving from lvl 60 to 70 - it's very possible that MNKs more get some skills that are more fluid, as shown in the trailer.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for dancer, and people are free to speculate and believe what they will. I just hope it's vastly different from MNK, and not like what we see in this trailer.

This.

If that was Dancer then both Monk and Dancer lost a lot of core job identity for 4.o.

Yda looks so graceful in that trailer and if that's a Dancer then I'll be overjoyed to play the job!...

She definitely looks different from a Monk and the dancing is just great!...

Even if she was a confirmed dancer, I don't know why people wouldn't be appalled by it's near eclipsing overlap of monk. Do you really want Dancer to be monk with the same style of combat under a different name?

You'd think people would be hopeful she's a monk and they'll reveal DNC later instead of THAT (As cool as it was) being a DNC reveal.

People easily gets blinded by their own hype. If that turns out to be a Dancer people would start complaining about the copy+paste animations once the hype settles down.
