Wherever they roam a black wind follows; Dark Knights are forged from the fires of combat, quenched in the blood of enemies, tempered with dark magicks into walking engines of destruction. Few are those who can bear the brunt of their devastating onslaughts, and even the Dark Knight themselves must pay for their unholy power with their own blood. If unlocking this exclusive class is tantalizing to you, there is a dark secret you should know, and that you're going to be grinding... a LOT!
In the penultimate Job Focus episode we take a deep dive into the Dark Knight class, a long-awaited and detailed look at their Abilities, their vast array of Equipment options, and crack open their class and growth Stats.
As always, we welcome your thoughts and feedback so please leave a comment on what you think about this episode!
Thank you for watching, and be well! 🙏

Years ago , I unlocked the Dark Knight in early Chapter 1, took me nearly 1 month , Totally worth it lol. Lucky for the JP Boost passive to speed it up.

J7Jase, great to see you bud! I appreciate the compliment, it was a bit of work for the masking, and outside my wheelhouse for AfterEffects work, but glad I did it! I think having a greenscreen is going to save me hours of little adjustments next time I want to do something like this. 😅 Hope things are well for you, and thanks for checking out the episode! 👋

Awesome! I think you will be pleased with their performance after such a brutal slog of a grind. Question now is: do you raise another one, or more? 😈 Thanks for checking out the content Upback, and enjoy your newfound domination! 🙌

Without a doubt my biggest "Man I wish this class was playable" when I played the original game back in 97. When War of the Lions was released, I was stoked, but I felt their re-do of the class was a bit more convoluted, and broken. I was a bit disappointed by how over-powered the class was and would have preferred they keep it as it was for Gaff. Nonetheless, it's still a super fun class to play, and if you are willing to go to the incredibly taxing and overbearing lengths to mod the game, the Dark Knight can be nerfed a bit and really add to any playthrough. Great video as always. Would love to see some backstory/lore videos pertaining to characters, locations, propositions, items, etc. With your video quality and format, they would make some really intriguing and fun to watch vids.

Brilliant and thoughtful analysis, Forrest, thank you! 💪 I agree completely, with abilities like Crushing Blow and Unholy Sacrifice being extremely powerful and over the top compared to what you see from Gaffgarion, and are on par with Holy Knight skills from Orlandeau. There was a distinct separation between generic and unique characters BEFORE the Dark Knight was introduced, and the line is now a lot more blurry. I also appreciate your idea to explore some more backstory and character development. I think that's a great idea! I for sure will be doing a story recap once my first playthrough is complete; from there I think I have an opportunity to do some deep dives into the characters, their motivations, and hopefully shed some light on minor details that add to the rich world presented to us. This is a little outside my comfort zone for content creation, with the research and sourcing footage; but to me, that's a call to grow my skills, and I will look to undertake something like this in the future, as I think it's a solid idea and would garner appreciation from viewers. Thanks for stopping by Forrest, and for the wonderful commentary and suggestions! 🙌

@@forrestredd2706 That's hilarious, no it's actually a 3D print of me that a friend got for my birthday a few years ago! There was a site where you could take a front and profile picture of someone and they would create a sculpt for you in your choice of uniform color, pose and accessory. Unfortunately they went out of business. So sadly not Riker, and sadly it's no longer available to purchase. 😭

Dark knight itself isn't op , it's the crushing blow attack that completely catapults the class to absurd levels of broken , having an attack that can basically one/two shot most late game enemies in the game with no charge time and procs stop half of the time is insane. It's like a stronger version of stasis sword. That's why dark knight is the 2nd best class in the game

Hey John thank you so much! Yes, the Onion Knight is the last in the series, which should be coming up very soon. They are kinda weird and don't have a lot of depth, so hopefully their presentation will be somewhat illuminating! 🙌

@TacticsLive Жыл бұрын

Hi Jon, thank you for the kind words! I do not have a video on Cloud specifically yet, though a Job Focus on unique Jobs like Soldier and others are in the works. Taking a quick peek at the Limit abilities they mostly look to be MA-based, so pumping up your MA seems wise here. Maybe look into classes like Samurai for additional skills that lean on MA. Oh, and don't forget to find his Materia Blade as a prerequisite to using his Limit skillset!

Also, give him the Time Mage's Short Charge ability, to lessen how long his Limit Breaks take to act.

I dont understand how the growth numbers in your videos work please explain!

@TacticsLive Жыл бұрын

I would suggest the Growing Units with Super Stats video for more detail, but generally speaking each unit has different rates of growth for each main stat, and you will want lower numbers for higher rates of growth.

@samhende592 Жыл бұрын

@@TacticsLive Thanks dood i finally see how the stats correspond, what i meant when i asked that question is: What is happening during each level up? I.E. do those numbers need to be low because there is a value that is being subtracted from when calculating the level up?

@TacticsLive Жыл бұрын

@@samhende592 Sure thing, so you have the gist of it: the growth factor is a denominator in a division formula. The lower the value, the higher the bonus is added to your raw stats, a hidden value that determines your final stats that are visible.

@jaimereupert4247 5 ай бұрын

The class is ok, as long as you're not doing a SCC (Single Class Challenge). Having access to only its own abilities, it has little healing, especially if you're fighting undead enemies. I know, I'm doing a Dark Knight SCC for one of my playthroughs in the WotL Android version. My other playthoughs include a Ramza +4 monsters Challenge and a "Final Fantasy V Challenge," where, for this challenge , the only jobs that can be used are from the corresponding Crystals/Chapter. A list for better explanation: Chapter One - Wind Crystal: Squire (heh, Suppin), Knight, Monk, Thief, White Mage, Black Mage, and Oracle (Blue Mage) Chapter Two - Water Crystal: Wind Crystal + Time Mage, Summoner, and Calculator (Red Mage). Chapter Three - Fire Crystal: Wind and Water + Bard, Archer, Mediator, Ninja, and Geomancer. Chapter Four - Earth Crystal: Wind and Water and Fire plus: Samurai, Lancer, Chemist, Dancer, and Mime. (I also added Dark Knight and Onion Knight to this since this was made for the original version, and they didn't have an updated version for WotL). Exception to this rule: Being a job for the sole purpose of moving on. A good example is the Archer. If you want to have Thief, you must go through Archer. That's fine. Just don't equip any Archer abilities until the Chapter Three. So, you can unlock a later class but won't be able to use it's abilities or skills until you reach the chapter in which they're "unlocked/made available."

I will admit that I have never unlocked this job without using cheats or editors. It's too much grinding.

@TacticsLive Жыл бұрын

It's SO much, PK, I don't blame you! There are probably efficient ways of planning your grind by utilizing passive JP accrual so your melee units don't have to take the time to master a Black Mage and lower their PA growth, and that doesn't make it any less brutal. Glad you stopped by to check out the episode, and validate why it's just easier to use a save file editor! 😂
