    Yeah ... and your point is?

    I even mentioned the Mystic Knight / Mahoukenshi (魔法剣士) job in my first post.

    Seriously, at this point you are just trying to argue and be contrary for the sake of it and are no longer making sense, you're just throwing stuff out there.

    Again, I'll take the word of a native Japanese speaker with an educational background in languages on matters of the Japanese language over some person on a video game forum that is likely using Google translate.

    You're the one coming there to give a japanese lecture when the point was that the job of FFIII was not a Dark Knight. And that Mystic (or Magic) Knight was much more faithful in the context of Final Fantasy.

    And, claiming that the 暗黒騎士 is the natural evolution of the 魔 剣士 is ignoring that the two have nothing in common in their skills of their name.

    Y: I usually compare FFXIV with a theme park, but the Forbidden Land of Eureka won’t be a place where everyone would want to go. For example, there are people who don’t want to go to horror houses because they don’t see the point in getting scared on purpose. For example, on a date, the boyfriend might want to invite the girlfriend to go the horror house, but the girlfriend just doesn’t seem to find it fun. In other words, it’s not like everyone wants to go to the horror house, but there are people who just love the adrenalin rush they get from it. Think of Eureka as something like that.

    I've provided the information in regards to translation and even vetted it with a native speaker. It's your choice to ignore it out of hubris.

    I also never argued that the job from FF3 was the same as the later established classic job of Dark Knight, I stated it was the precursor to the job which Square Enix themselves reinforce by going back and replacing the original job with the later established Dark Knight in the remake.

    I even said that arguing that the original FF3 version doesn't really fit into the series identify of the Dark Knight because it came before that identity was truly established was fine. Hell, I kind of even agree with that stance.

    You are arguing against other peoples' points at me because you are so bent on trying to be right that you are ignoring what I actually say and instead swerve between arguments in hopes something will find purchase.

    My entire point was that the translation you presented was inaccurate, which it is.

    At this point I'm done with this back and forth as it is going nowhere.
