I feel like they could have workshopped that name to something better, but it's okay so far and just waiting to see how it actually plays.

Only thing I can say about it so far is that I am really not a fan of that Blue Aura

The callback to Zidane, the animations, and the glam potential is keeping me interested.

Still, a bit disappointed that we didn't get Corsair. I guess they wanted to appease the fans who wanted Rogue to go down a different route from Ninja, one that's more in line with what Viper is.

When I see or hear "Viper", all I can think of is this great man:

I think it might be an Asian thing. I remember waaaaaay back in 2008 when Maplestory was announced to be getting two new classes which were both pirates, while the names of them here was Buccaneer and Corsair. Over in Korea where the game is made, the Buccaneer was called Viper. I'm assuming its just a cultural thing that a pirate related job is called Viper.

I'd prefer Armadillo, myself.

Amazing name. Finally something creative, not like Ninja or Samurai that was recycled in so many games and popular culture.
