Both have their ups.

Stat wise the Paladin rocks, as mentioned in almost every other comment. But personality wise, the Dark knight, mainly because of the dialog before hand. But I have not played the game in quite a while so I am playing off of memory, after all a dark warrior seems to be considered pretty swank.

Darkness

Paladin may have been better stat-wise, but Cecil's darkness attack was much more useful than his weak paladin healing skills could ever be!

Dark Knight is da bomb!

Nuh-uh!! Dark Knight Cecil was the best because he felt obligated to serve his king under the dark sword, even though he didn't like it. You just can't beat inner conflict like that!

Paladin

Paladin Cecil was and is better... Not only was he stronger statwise, but he was cooler as a character. And Holy things rock.

Equal

They are both equal IMO. They are still the same character with the same inner conflicts.

Simple.

Of course, paladin is much better in game "'cause he's holy"; I mean, he's 20 levels lower than and twice as strong as everyone else. Cecil the Dark Knight, however, was incredibly weak, but he was actually an interesting character, as are dark knights in general. There's too much stigma about being good or evil, and often those with no care towards the apparent balance between them, typically the same people thought as evil, are often infinitely smarter and have more tolerance for all things.

pal vs. dark

I thought they were pretty equal, but I didn't really think to conscoiusly compare them while I was still playing the game.

I agree, 'Cecil' is a weak-sounding name. I renamed my character, but I can't remember what I named him...

Hmm.

It's hard to say. Paladin Cecil reeked of the Skywalker complex (I am your brother! NOOOO!), but he was, indeed, a tank.

Dark Knight Cecil was a whiny bum (My heart...is as black as my armor!), but he was useful for his part of the game.

I think I'm going to vote 'Rydia', 'cause she blows both of them out of the water. She's just that cool.

Cecil

Paladin=cool. Name "Cecil"=stupid. I love that Cecil overcomes his weaknesses and becomes a paladin. But his name is SO wimpy!!
Just wanted to say that....I feel so refreshed!

The Paladin

Cecil as a Dark knight had so-so vitality, attack, no magic, eventfully pathetic magic defense, and his dark sword sucks against undead

But as a Paladin, he enjoys High hp, defense, attack, and his magic strength and speed are okay, and he has rather good magic defense, not to mention mid level white magic, and can weild many weapons, not to mention holy swords which tear the undead new ones with ease

(I managed to level both up to lv99 so I know how to compare); though in game play a Lv1 Paladin is about equal to a lv20 Dark knight (not to mention by the time you get off of Mt Ordeals, Cecil will be able to handle many things)

It depends on the actual focus of the question.

Battlewise, there's no comparison. Cecil's equipment as a Paladin far outranks his Dark Knight equipment, even if you were to scale it up. He becomes a physical tank, resistant to most status, and can still deal some decent damage. Dark Knight Cecil is better at crowd control, but doesn't have the overall durability or power to compete.

Personality wise, it's the opposite. You see, Dark Knight Cecil actually had one.

PALADIN

what a dumb question. dark knight cecil is a DARK knight right? hmm let me think, that answer is so obvious, one slash from ANY of paladin cecil's swords would vaporize dark knight cecil because the swords are holy. long live paladin cecil! HE WHO HESITATES IS LOST
