My grammar mistakes are intentional, always.

Oh my, that's a disturbing image. It wouldn't kill SE to make the guy dancer AF just a little less frilly. I mean COR BLU and PUP are all kind of girly but not even touching the level of girliness of DAN AF. Hell, it's a damn skirt, FFS!

It looks to me as though there are two possibilities here: either Dancer will as gender-specific as it's been made out to be between the AF and the wholly female presentation and there'll also be a male-specific job for a total of two, or as others have said there'll be one job corresponding to each of the three starting nations without actually being nation-restricted. I doubt they'll do both and throw in another unisex job to round it out. My personal hope is the national jobs option, and different DNC AF for men.

And I still think Time Mage has no substansive evidence -- and has going against it that RDM already has one of the most obvious spells to give it as a merit spell, so it can't really be taken away -- and that we're more likely to get Atomos as a summonable avatar filled with temporal goodness, if anything. -- Pteryx

They dont allow gay marriage in the game but they are introducing Drag queens?

That was the most disturbing image I've ever seen.
Party building will be fun
Person 1: " camp where?"
Person 2: " Well there is a transvestite over there"?
Person 1: "Thats camp enough for me"

lol

I'm going to go with option C) They're only adding two jobs and Dancer will be available for all genders and races like every other job they've ever added.

Anything can be taken away in this game, just ask Bsts and Rngs.

I don't see how BLU and COR AF are "girly." PUP AF just reeked of a bizarre lovechild had by Kefka and Gogo. COR AF was 90% pirate, 10% Setzer Gabbiani.

BLU didn't really have a classic visual archtype to draw from and the FFV one would have been hokey as hell, so they drew on the design of the one from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance since it fit the "near east" theme best.

As for Dancer, its pretty clear they did decide to draw on FFV's styling and go from there, so once again, I present to you Bartz, the Dancer.

Kriegstanz!

Note similar green sash on waist, yet no skirt. He wears pants! Imagine that!

Didn't RDM have one of the higher level cure spells for a short time, or WHM having a spell that only RDMs have now, or something like that?

[Malacite]

Re: Dancers, Maidens of the Battlefield (10/22/2007)

I think Cure V was available to RDM very early into the NA release, but had it taken away along with Flash and Diaga 2...

If they took this guy's vest as a starting base for the entire AF, they'd actually make it look pretty decent... albeit the coloring scheme would be a tad bit emo-ish. Then again, that'd help the whole "Tango de la Muerte" thing.

Cure V never belonged to RDM. Before the level cap raise, Cure V sat in the ether with both RDM and WHM on the spell list. When the cap was raised and the spell became available, RDM was taken off the list and *poof*... the spell was WHM only.

Regen 2 and 3, however, were posessed by RDM, but later went to WHM.
