DoD1 x FFXIV

Drakengard 1 characters and what FFXIV jobs would suit them

Caim - Warrior. He loses himself into battle constantly, and feels a burning rage inside him, and draws power from that fury. Turns on his tank stance only if told to, he's a DPS at heart.

Angelus - Dark Knight. She is aiming for her own goals and justice, no matter the cost. Honestly, both Warrior and Dark Knight suit Caim and Angelus both, but I had to choose. Again, neither of them likes tanking, but they make a weirdly good pair of co-tanks.

Furiae - Red Mage. She's the Goddess Seal, so she has to constantly bear with pain and holding herself back. Red Mages came to be after white and black magic had drained the land dry, and mages had to think of a way to balance their magic use without being heavily persecuted and without putting on too much stress upon the nature. The whole world in DoD1 needs a Verraise, and with Furiae gone (depending on the ending), there's not really anyone who can do that.

Leonard - Scholar. Not only does he have a fairy companion (though the faeries in FFXIV are much kinder to their summoners...) he seems like someone who would be interested in healing and staying back. I can't really see him as a DPS job. Besides that, being a shield healer suits him better than the more passive pure healer, since he seems to want to avoid problems and hurt before it has the chance to happen instead of simply taking up the clean-up job.

Inuart - Bard, though that feels like a copout answer, considering the clear importance of his songs. Once he gives away his songs as a Pact price, I'm not quite sure which job suits him. Something in me says Gunbreaker, but I don't know how to justify it.

Arioch - Dragoon. She's bloodthirsty, and has gone off the deep end. Dragoons battle with the dragons all the while fighting off the call of their draconic blood, especially if they've drank the blood of a dragon. Dragoons literally dress in spiked armour so that if a dragon were to swallow them, the armour would tear the dragon from the inside. They're not messing around. And besides, they get up in their enemy's melee range, and Arioch would love to be in melee instead of staying back at a safe distance, away from all the gore and blood.

Seere - Dancer. He's the heart of the team, keeping the mood up (relatively up, considering the situation) and being in a supportive role rather than actively going out there. Though my heart wants to assign Summoner to him, just for the Titan-egi being somewhat similar to Golem. Besides, imagine what kind of an egi he would be able to summon after DoD1 would be over (if he doesn't die). What would an egi based on the Furiae creatures look like, or what kind of properties would a Queen-Beast egi have? And uh, how much mental damage would summoning them cause to everyone around him. There's that too.

Manah - Black Mage. The connection to the Watchers somewhat resembles the connection to Voidsent (which not all BLMs necessarily have, but black magic and its origins in Mhach are heavily connected to the Voidsent). Plus I'm taking inspiration from DoD2, where Manah uses magic and a staff.
