There Is No Dancer (yet)

[Bluejay]

I'm not saying she is a dancer but the only class in all FF games that used CLOTH as a weapon was Dancer. FFT Dancers to be more exact: "A warrior who dances across the battlefield, garbed in colorful raiments".


I'd really like her to be a new class, but no one can say for sure.

Yeah, even if she is a dancer and dancers are a type of martial artist in FF14, that is no guarantee that Dancer will be added to the game as a playable class right now. We have numerous examples of classes that NPC's could be before we could play them.

you all assume that next classes will be completely new classes from 1 to 70.
I assume yes dancer could use monk skills if its sub class to Pugilist.
Monks originate from alamigo but alamigo been shut awey bihind vail for 20 years what have become whit monk order and they fighters whit 20 years is most likely dancer because its way to hide combatants under shroud of dance. (damn i think my mind run wild here)
i see quite grate possibility new classes added in 4.0 are subclasses to allredy existing base classes rather then complete new route like DK AST and MCH was.
Pugilist split into monk or dancer
Glad split into paladin or SAM (wishful thinking)
Conjurer Split into White Mage or Red Mage (possible they make u have bother Conjurer and Thaumaturge )

No, we all assume there won't be classes, since Yoshi-P has stated that he doesn't like this system (Which is sad), didn't use it for the new jobs in HW, and dropped hint of replacing the cross-class system with a role skills, reducing even more the need for classes.

I think part of the problem with this line of thinking is that it would literally auto-cap new jobs for anyone who bothered to raise the original class unless you are suggesting the split have it's own independent level? D: one issue I always had imagining new soulstones for existing classes back when it was still a possibility was the thought of never getting to "level" the new job if I had already done a previous one tied to the same class. SMN/SCH, while convenient, just felt off in that regard to me honestly.

If there was proof, it wouldn't be speculation.

Regarding that Red Lady and her cloth-slashing trick, it could just be some sort of unique attack she had on her sleeves as a unique character. Y'shtola had a bubble barrier (no, it's not AST's Collective Unconscious because it only does damage reduction, while Y'shtola's barrier is an actual barrier. The barrier also appeared/existed years before AST did) there was Ilberd's magical slash attack, Alphinaud can summon an obsidian carbuncle and Alisaie can summon a sword made of aether. Also that Y'shtola is a Conjurer, the twins are Arcanists and I would say Ilberd is just a Gladiator.

That's why I could see the Red Lady being only a Monk, and that she's clearly doing more hand-to-hand combat like a PGL/MNK would. Still that DNC theory is very much possible.

Both parties arguing in this post are neither right or wrong.
The song "Let it go" would be appropriate i would think
Discussion is fine but wow some of you are getting out of hand
The other fan fests cannot come soon enough
