So, everyone is excited for Dark Knight because they get to play a...particular archetype...but something has occurred to me.
Thematically, aren't Warriors closer to what people imagine of a traditional Final Fantasy Dark Knight? They deal with an Inner Beast (inner demon!) that they have to battle with to control, or at least the characters in the Job quest do. You know, battle with themselves, so they do not lose themselves. All that Byronic brooding goodness.
In contrast, if they make Dark Knight the same sort of deal, wouldn't there be a thematic overlap? I am thinking a Dark Knight means more of a "fighter that uses dark powers in combat" than "a fighter who is just really sad". Or something.
