Guild Wars 2

After watching some of the Beta footage and character models for the Revenant class, particularly the human race I thought the profession looked somewhat familiar. The armor, fighting style (in some cases) and even the addition of a blindfold are very similar to the character of Takahasi Kenshi from the Mortal Kombat series.

Here’ a link: http://mortalkombat.wikia.com/wiki/Kenshi_Takahashi

Eh, the blindfolded warrior is a pretty common fantasy trope. Also, Illidan Stormrage (and Demon Hunters in general) from the Warcraft series. If anything Mortal Kombat, Warcraft, and HoT are all drawing from the fantasy well for their takes on the trope.

The “blind spiritual warrior guys” is a super common thing tbh, can fit into the “handicapped kitten” umbrella term also http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Handicappedkitten

Even Guild Wars 1 had the concept of the blindfolded fighter. The Ritualist went into battle with the eyes covered.
