My own selfish desire is for Dark Knight to be more like the Dark Warrior.. not WAR Clone, I mean a fantasy subclass archtype from a few decades ago,
or at the least, I want FFXIV's Dark Knight to be a remaster improvement of the original 3.x version, that also more resembles the Dark Knight as it did appear in other FF games of the FF franchise.

It would also interest me a lot to see the Dark Knight be the full sustain, little burst, "Speed" type of the Tanks, whether that be literal low-GCD speed,
or better than that, the illusion of speed; through constant oGCD weaves and the always-active thrill of full sustain attacks, instead of being held back by "just wait for the burst" and "it is all in the burst".
Contrary to how greatswords are depicted in most media, they would've been reasonably fast weapons (as were most tbh, can't really afford to be slow in a fight) since 1) they were heavy, but not unreasonably so 2) being a two-handed weapon meant more control and leverage. Hypothetically, if the other tanks (particularly WAR and GNB) didn't exist I could've seen DRK being a speedy glass cannon, able to sustain itself not through defence but life leech (steal it from WAR) and other skills of the sort
