I had commissioned this massive project with a good friend of mine with the idea to add more classes to the inspirational piece, as that was all (except a few) of FFXIV's ARR classes.
Technically, MNK and NIN got the shaft again, which I might revisit later in another commission. (Same with BLU and RPR)

Why DRK? Luna actually has a fair bit of synergy with the DRK's lore. Edgy stereotypes aside, I perceived Luna as the more empathetic of the Two Sisters, and she already has quite a bit of art with her using the most formidable armors and weapons vs. Celestia. And so, Luna became Celestia's ~meat shield~ guardian of the shadows.
