Have you ever noticed that this is the only game in the entire series where the main character is a knight?

I mean, you can make people knights in FFV, XI, and XIV, but that's not exactly the same thing as the game ostensibly telling you up-front that you are a knight (Dark or otherwise). Many characters function as de facto knights, but have no story-related allusions to knighthood.

Squall is described (fancifully) as a knight (in one or two lines of dialogue), but I don't think that's really the same thing, either.

I only bring it up because I like the concept of knighthood and the storytelling possibilities it entails. I wonder why they chose this one game to focus on that concept, and then abandoned it entirely for the rest of the series?

Thoughts?
