You can see the Roegadyn with an axe on that cover looking a lot like a Berserker/Beastmaster/Viking. The guy wearing "evil armor" looks to be holding a polearm. I don't believe their passing mentions in various interviews means anything was set in stone.

**Hyan** · 2011-09-21 14:42

I can only hope for Berserker or Viking. "Warrior" is so laaaame. They're the same thing pretty much anyway. Isn't MRD HQ in a ship? Viking could fit there, although then again, FF FEELAN' would be gone.

We'll see who shall be correct next week!

guys guys...new name for archer...

Barcher!

And for the dumbasses that endup playing it with gimp equipment, Archard!

**vadre** · 2011-09-21 14:56

Are those horns on the Marauder guy? If so I'd say combined with the fur-lining I could see it being berserker based on the sort of animalistic look to it.

The BLM set looks freaking awesome at the back there, I'm really hoping the poses the BLM and WHM are in are reflections of possibly future casting poses. They've already said we'll be able to cast out of combat in future.

I almost don't want them to make DRK, they fucked up the job so bad in XI to the point where the job doesn't even know what its supposed to be, the magic side is pathetic where the players find it almost useless outside a few spells, it falls short compared to other melee jobs, the concept is just complete utter clusterfuck, easily the most confused job in XI.

Granted they could design the job more properly for XIV but do you really have any faith in them to do that?

Funny you mention that. I was going to reply to the post that said something like "DRK sucks anyways," that this isn't XI, maybe they could do it better.

Couldn't keep a straight face.

**Cichy** · 2011-09-21 17:41

Early DRK was great if you had a Apocalypse lol. Obviously they need to come up with some new weapons at some point so scythes not being in the game isnt a big problem I think.

**Hyan** · 2011-09-21 17:47

Early DRK was fucking awesome and you were a noob if you didn't level it over something shitty like Monk,L O L.

2003 fellas. Before things changed a bit.

I hope you're trolling.

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2011-09-21 20:45

Trolling? Unless they rename BTN offhands, there ain't gonna be a scythe weapon for "Dark Knight". They could go with threshers or whatever if they wanted to I guess.

Double Post.

I'm quite thankful Dark Knight won't be making an appearance anytime soon.

Sickles.

**Kurokikaze** · 2011-09-21 21:22

Same shit bro...

Perdu Sickle anyone?

**Priran** · 2011-09-21 21:37

Dude said FF14 has no scythes at all, and got corrected because they do exist in that form. There is no need for 5 pages of "I DON'T LIKE THE IMPLICATION YOU ARE IMPLYING. STOP TROLLING WITH YOUR IMPLICATIONS".

I suppose we should call 2-handed scythes "great scythes" now, for the distinction? Maybe a "hand scythe" for the tool and a "battle scythe" for the actual attacking one?

I dunno, lol. I just thought the entire "argument" was funny.
