Dark Knight

[Zantetsuken]

This wasn't something said in the interview. All they have said is they want to add a Thief like Job/Class, nothing about taking daggers away from GLA. Also, they have mentioned that Dark Knight is a strong possibility, so it will inevitably come to FFXIV. The greatsword hasn't been implemented yet, a great candidate for a weapon for DRK.

Actually I have also read in an interview that GLA would lose daggers if a Scout/THF class was implemented. IIRC it was in the Japanese > English translation thread, but I don't recall which post.

EDIT:

Its from the live letter actually :P

Regarding dual-wielding, we're discussing whether we want to implement a class that branches out from the gladiator, or implementing a stealthy scout-type class (e.g. thief) that can perform sneak attacks. If we decide to go with the latter, we may set the job as ninja. The only problem is that gladiators are currently able to equip daggers, but not many rely on them. What we might end up doing is making the dagger available only for the scout-type class and make it able to dual-wield daggers.
