Well, you see, if you have a burn and someone chops off your arm, you won't even feel the burn anymore. Healed!

Red mage was heavily hinted at so what's the issue?

Well, they could make Sam the tank, and Red the healer.... :3

Either way the forums will rage...




Perhaps the only option is to not release samurai? ;P

I like this idea, especially when no one is thinking "wait, maybe they're releasing one one, but TWO dps jobs".

Because we don't even know yet if that will be standing in the backlines casting status buffs, using its sword about as often as a AST inflicts paper-cuts?

I mean, if that's all that's needed is that it wears a sword, then I guess the quota's met either way. If not though, then I make no assumptions, and would rather double-up on a theme I happen to really like anyways (sword-wielding dps).

I don't see an issue with that.
