So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

Those are just my reasons behind why I think they're a dancer and berserker. I could be wrong of course but time will only tell, what gets revealed at the next fan festival?

The first fan fest it was said 4.0 will be focused on MNK. It was also said the derp of light in the video is wearing the new MNK AF. The girl is most likely Yda, or Yda's sister. Yda is a MNK, but maybe her sister is a dancer or a MNK with special abilities. Her identity is yet to be revealed, but that's where the MSQ is going imo.

As far as her shoes (from another poster) they just look near eastern to me. I don't think they're special dance shoes. But who knows.

Yoshi-P said the Monk was wearing the new AF for 4.0. He didn't say who the lady was, but since they fight using similar moves, she is most likely a monk as well. Its a CG trailer, its going to be flashy and different lol.

dunno about you guys, but compare this to the trailer's supposed "dancer" girl, and since "Ivalice" and "Ala Mhigo" are pretty much the same concept:

- ignore the weapon

i think they're going for the (penelo) -Ivalice- type dancer in this.

It's no surprise stormblood is going to be based around the monk job class because it's taking place in Ala Mhigo. The guy in the trailer could very well be a monk in the new AF using a different fighting style. The girl tho I'm still thinking she's a dancer, at the beginning of the trailer she was dancing into various stances and pose's in more of a martial art style. While sparing with the guy she still maintained the graceful dance style moves.

Look at heavensward for example it was based around the dragoon job class, but what did any of the new jobs that were released have in common to dragoon?

but none of the CGI trailers for heavensward showcased any of the new jobs, it only showcased Dragoon, the same way this CGI trailer only showcases monk.

And none of the new jobs resembled dragoon in anyway, making them easily distinguishable. That's not the case here. The guy and girl are so similar in fact, we can't even come to a general consesus that it is indeed a new job, and that the new job is Dancer. most still believe its a monk because its the obvious choice since the trailer was just meant to be a cgi teaser for the announcement of Stormblood.

Its all good and well to speculate, i just wish people would keep the reaching to a minimum.

She could be a dancer. Or it could be an NPC with a specialized dance-like fighting style. Maybe she's just happy. That's not to say that dancer can't be added later either. Like a certain NPC gave us ninja. I'm still sticking with it being Yda (or relation), and the fight style is unique to her... for now.

The big thing I'm pointing out with the while thing is that the stances they use while fighting isn't the stance monk has been using and the style of their moves have their differences from monks as well. It's all well and good to say they're monks in that trailer but if they are monks then I would have to say they're re-doing monks style of fighting.

If you've ever watched Yda when she takes up a fighting stance she's in the standard monk stance, not one of the stances they were using in the trailer for the girl. If both her and the guy in the trailer are monks then I would have to say that monk itself is getting an overhaul. The guy might be a monk but the girl is something different, she doesn't move or fight in the same type forms that monk does.

A few things though:
1. It's a CGI trailer. They're not exactly known for their accuracy.
2. They had to make MNK look cool. Since it's the focus. (Much like they did with DRG in HW)
3. They are changing job/class structure. Maybe they're tweaking MNK. (This is really reaching though)
4. The people who work on the game have already said they are both MNKs. Unless they're lying...

As much as I like the idea of dancer... and trust me I loved DNC on FFXI (I rocked it)... I don't think it is being showcased in the trailer.

1. It's a CGI trailer. They're not exactly known for their accuracy.

This is one of the most IMPORTANT things to remember.
The CGI trailers and what not are actually done by another team, hence the whole Black Mage gender swap conundrum and more importantly Hraesvelgr in the HW trailer (instead of Vishap and other dragons)
in fact I'd take the trailer with a grain of salt, nothing in the trailer actually has to be implemented, the only thing for a fact that we are probably getting is the Monk AF that the male wears, and that's only because I swear they showed concept for it before?

[Yukiko]

4. The people who work on the game have already said they are both MNKs. Unless they're lying...

When did they say both were and where did they say that?
At FanFest Yoshi-P confirmed the guy is MNK and its the new AF gear he will wear at level 70.
