Yeah, I kind of think that Dark Knight was better- the new magic was really great, but I'd really gotten used to the Dark Knight form- it also kind of looked cooler, too! (imo)

Plot-wise, Dark Knight Cecil had more depth, what with redemption and all that. Paladin Cecil was just a hero.

Battle wise you never see much of Dark Knight. He had a risky but rewarding ability. If you could choose between either end game, I think Dark Knight would've been better.

While I liked his abilities as a dark knight, especially "dark" when you would come up against a bunch of weaker enemies it would be a quick kill, I'd have to go with paladin. It was nice to have him be able to cure when you didn't have Rosa part of your party. I also used his esuna so I wouldn't be wasting Rosa's mp. Also, this will sound shallow, but I think he was cuter as a paladin because you can see his face in the menu.

I liked Cecil as a Dark Knight better, I didn't mind his transcendance into a Paladin, in fact I thought Cecil vs Dark Knight was cleverly done, since he killed himself using Dark XD.

But yeah i agree the convienance of having an extra healer in your party was priceless.

Cecil was awesome as a Dark Knight! I think he was better off a dark knight than a paladin.

I prefer the dark knight but they should have put some nice dark knights attacks in the dark command.

i liked him better as a paladin, mainly because he can heal others, which was a big help. that, and occasionally when you defend a lot you ignore all damage at you and launch a counter attack at all of the enemies.

I loved the way this game had two contrasting personas for the main character. I thought the transition scene and battle against his former self was well done too.

I'll agree with just about everyone and say the Paladin was better in terms of battle since he had healing abilities. Cecil was cool as a Dark Knight while it lasted, but I welcomed the extra Cure spells in the end

I'd pick Cecil as a dark night because he looked cooler and more bad-ass.

MOD EDIT

Please put more effort into your post. What about Cecil's Dark Knight personality did you find to me more coll and bad-ass?

I know before I said dark knight (Long story) but now I'm leaning towards the paladin.

The white magic was a godsend later in the game, against some of the harder bosses
