First and foremost, I'm really happy with what we know about Dark Knight. Paladin/Knight has been my schtick since I was a little geek kid discovering the world of Fantasy and RP. XIV's Paladin was super disappointing to me. Its great if you like/don't mind Ul'dah and certain aspects, but its so specific. I'm still enamored by the "do universal good for the world" sorta Paladin. (But yes, I could have gone more of the "Free Paladin" route, but I just didn't feel like it had enough oomph).
So I'm totally hopping on the band wagon and playing Dark Knight. Depending on how much mitigation I can drain from it, I might use it as my raid class, or if not just keep playing Paladin (hallelujah second combo coming!) and be a giant overcompensation sword wielding entity ICly.
Question about the Au Ra though. With the little morsel we know now, it seems like Au Ra could have easily been in Eorzea in small numbers for some time now, right? I don't plan on making one, but I know there's been a lot of debate whether they could be in a timeline pre-Heavensward. I guess to me this says that people wanting to re-work some characters without losing some of their precious memories/interactions with family and friends can pull something off. But is that how most people will see it, or will there still be people arguing with each other over character origins?
