Anything is possible with enough edge.
Fashion report is between Friday-Monday, so a guide should be out Friday each week.
They're called Knights because that's the traditional FF job but they're still the same and are often also referred as Paladin in official japanese material(for example the official job guide https://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/paladin/ lists it as Paladin in big letter then ナイト in smaller letters which is Knight). Their abilities are also themed around holy stuff, with the most obvious ホーリースピリット Hori Supiritto(Holy Spirit, same name in katakanas) and ディヴァインヴェール Divain Veru (Divine Veil). Sorry for any mistake my japanese is rusty and I used google a bunch to help.
If you look at only the ARR skills, there's nothing holy about it, though. It looks like they decided to lean on the "Paladin" thing in japanese with HW.
But the ARR skills in the english version aren't holy either, most of them are just direct translations of the japanese ones, most of which are already in english anyway. Was mostly answering the "localization is what made Paladin holy and in the japanese version it isn't". It's the same really. I'd argue that even then, a skill like Rage of Halone(again, exact same skill in the japanese version) implies some sort of link to divinity, Halone being a Goddess, one of the Twelve. Also technically in ARR, PLD was the only non healer job to be able to slot Cure, Protect, Stoneskin and Raise, so even back then there was a certain affinity since all these were Conjurer skills.
The tankiness is legitimately built in with tank stance plus the extra vitality. Right now you can go into any dungeon with standard gear and still manage to go pack by pack.
What's the best tank class for a beginner? I wanna finally use one.
Warrior is probably the most straightforward (and also the best right now). Keep in mind that DRK/PAL will be changing significantly in a few weeks with the expansion, though.
Thank you! and yes I see that all the time. as an occasional healer I just run over to the tank so they immediately see I'm running for my life lmao Also I dont even think I can get dark knight right now since I have to get to heavensward and I'm still going through post game ARR content which seems like there's constantly a new lvl 50 quest at every corner.
good to know. I dropped summoner / scholar for the same reason just as I was getting used to them. Relearning everything is gonna be a pain.
Yep, anything that used TP now is free to spam which is great. TP management for dungeon packs was so annoying, doubly so when you have DPS who never use Goad or Tactician.
Thank gawd. I feel like I've been in a stand still or something.
Can always use the time before the expansion to delete everything and do a fresh install. Just upload your settings to the cloud on the character selection screen stuff, uninstall, double check for any left over files in the directory and in My Documents(don't delete benchmark stuff if you made a char save for a Fantasia though) and then reinstall. Could be some shitty cache/log files or whatever. Other than that double checking graphical options and checking drivers(reverting to older ones to check if you already have last ones).
Do you have any specific questions?
Nah, I'm new to mmos so I'm not really sure what to ask tbh

If you do decide to buy it, don't buy the Steam version. The Steam version is always tied to Steam. If there are any sales on the PC version, you can't buy it and use it with steam.
The announcement says the following:
Code you'll get in the box, you'll enter it on another website(maybe the same not sure) and then enter the code that gives you on the mogstation to confirm you have the full version. You'll have until 1week after launch for the grace period assuming it's the same as usual. They'll explain that when it goes up, probably a week before launch.
