Final Fantasy XIV’s user-friendly class change system makes switching to Dark Knight class a relatively easy process, and so across various in-game locations on multiple servers, Final Fantasy XIV Dark Knight players have been lining up or otherwise arranging themselves in formation, often striking identical poses, as a final show of respect to Miura.
Final Fantasy often employs similar imagery, and in the case of Final Fantasy XIV the greatsword-wielding Dark Knight class, when equipped with shadowy-hued armor, can bear a particularly strong resemblance to Berserk’s hero.
Dark Knights come together to pay respects to Kentaro Miura, who was a light in their lives.
While there’s no official connection between the Berserk and Final Fantasy franchises, one of Berserk’s most enduring and iconic visual motifs is of protagonist Guts wielding his gigantic greatsword.
