Well all those people are mostly me. And I have never even seen FF V. So, unfettered by immages of former games, my immaganation is free to wander and form my own ideas of what a Dancer should do/be.
Not that it makes any difference. Dancer will not be implemented. Mostly because every FF addict says "Oh it's just a Girl only BRD equivalent. If the developers themselves are not FF addicts themselves, they listen to them.
Weapon Dances... Belly dancers have dances with those Scimatars where they do a LOT more than ballance them on their head. There are traditional Japanese dances with both Katana and Naginata that are hardly distinguishable from katas.
Every culture that has dances has dances with weapons. Many have unarmed combat dances too. So it makes perfect sense to me that a Dancer
should be able to use EVERY melee weapon class in the game, even if only at a C or D skill level.
Stats? Well we don't have either Constitution or Enduarance, things a Dancer should be high in instead of STR. So IMHO a Dancer's top stats should be AGI, CHR, & DEX. STR & VIT should be kind of middiling, and they should take hits in INT and MND, perhaps even big enough hits to make DNC/mage a poor choice.
Subs? I see the job as being different enough from a BRD to make DNC/BRD a quite viable choice. Or then there would be DNC/THF, SA High Kick, right in the back of the head.
But that's just me.
