which one is cooler dark knight cecil or paladin cecil

[Creeping Shadow]

i think dark knight cecil is so much cooler but thats my thought whats yours?

[Del Murder]

I like Paladin better because a Knight that can cast white magic has always been my favorite type of character.

[Martyr]

Dark Knight Cecil, because Paladin Cecil doesn't look exactly like he'd be naturally attracted to Rosa.

[Rase]

Paladin, because he reminds me of the Knight character from FFI, which is my favorite. Also, the White Magic was handy sometimes.

[Flashback007]

Paladin. Cause I used to many times his ability to loose health and killed him that way in the Dark Knight version. And it's always handy to have a second healer in your party. That's why I liked it.

I dont know y but I like dark knight cecil

[Cybele]

Dark knight. The paladin's white magic wasn't very useful to me because I had Rosa for white magic and before Rosa, I had Porom. His white magic leveled up to about the same level as Kid Rydia's would and then just stopped. Besides, the dark knight looked cooler.

Paladin Cecil can actually damage the undead, looks heroic, and has a special ability that doesn't sap an eighth of his HP every time it's used.

[Flamethrower]

Dark Knight Cecil is cooler, but Paladin Cecil is better.

I think the only reason they didn't give Dark Knight Cecil cool abilities is because you're supposed to get rid of him relatively early on in the game. Yes, I know you can take him up to level 99 and he won't gain anything new. That's not my point :P

I'm sure that if he were meant to be with your party in the final battle as a Dark Knight, or even if it were meant to be an option, they'd have given him something better. Dark Knight Cecil sucks by design, not by nature. Just look at Dark Knights in FFXI.

The reason I don't like Paladin Cecil as much is because he's more of a boyscout once he gets purple hair.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Cecil's personality didn't change at all once he became a Paladin except that he didn't have to feel guilty about being a Dark Knight anymore. And however useful Dark Knights are in other games is irrelevant to how useless they are in FFIV.

[Momiji]

I like Paladin Cecil. Holy knights are just... my thing. Sure, I would have had the Dark Ability over Cover or white magic, but I deal with it. Besides, Cecil HAD to become a Paladin to defeat Zeromus any way.

I personally like the Cecil before you can control him when he fights on his ship, I mean that bolt attack would have been very useful, why did they have him use abilities he never had, that annoyed me...

THE JACKEL

That wasn't an ability; that was an item that existed in the Japanese version. The lightning equivalent of a Firebomb, which exists in the US version and you can win from Red Dragons in the lunar core.

Anyway.

I think Paladin Cecil is cooler. He looks more heroic and more powerful. Dark Knight Cecil just looks like some knight. As a Paladin, he looks like a legendary warrior.

[Sasquatch]

Dark Knight Cecil is cooler, but Paladin Cecil is better.

Good point.

Dark Knight looks cooler, and probably is cooler (especially because Paladin looks like a damn hippie), but Paladin is definitely better. Not for his magic, which I don't like because he doesn't have much magic power, and not just for his much better attack power or his Cover ability, but all-around. Plus, the Paladin in and of itself is better than a dark knight. Who could go on a quest against evil being led by a dark knight?
