Do you know what secret power the Dark Knight, the edgiest of all classes, employees?
Always felt like this. FF Dark Knight don't use the Dark arts for edge. When you love someone no price is to too high, no pain too much.

Whence comes true strength to defend the meek?♪
Is it honor? Is it justice? How blaaand!♪
Could it be that the darkness is born of a light?♪
A flame burning for another? How graaand!♪
'Tis love! 'Tis love!♪
All-powerful, shining loooooove!♪

At any rate I always felt Dark Knights were simply based off european take on Dark Knights.

Dark knights, also known as black knights, were a minority group of knights who refused to serve lords or kings. Instead they either looted and raided, hunted bounties, or lived off the charity from the more humble folk, in much the same manner as a Japanese ronin. As they had no master, and thus no squire, they would paint their armor a signature black color to prevent rust and damage. Dark knights were considered by many a necessary evil, as they would protect villages and lesser people from invaders and bandits, but would also cause problems in the regions they dwelt in to sustain themselves.

Personally i hope a scythe user would be more a Mystic Knight in the vain of either melee healer or DPS. My vision of it being that of DRG of FFXI with a pet. Mystic Knight (MK) (EX: Owl minion) or Necromancer (NEC) (Ex: Spirit), able to choose to either let the pet Tank for them while they support it from a distance, or have the pet harry the enemy while they engage in melee.

For a visual representation something like the Dervish of Guild Wars.
