What Roles would you like for Samurai and Red Mage?

I would love for Samurai to just be in the game, doesn't matter if it's a tank or a DPS. But I do think we need more Tank options in the game, same with healers.

As for Red mage, uhhh, pewpew or what not

My thoughts exactly. We already have Ninja as the eastern themed DPS role. Samurai deserves a shot at being a Tank again, and this time NOT be pushed aside by Ninja, as it so happened in an earlier FF MMO. Yes, it'd be another Tank with a sword, but it'd certainly be different from DRK. (One uses heavy sword style combat and dark magic, the other will be more about grace and Samurai like parrying and Tanking)

So I voted:

SAM as a Tank.

RDM as a Melee/Magic DPS.

And while not involved at all in this discussion nor vote list... Dancer as the next healer please.

Maybe it's just me from playing WoW in addition to this game but I would really like it if all classes could dps also.

I really wish DRK was a dps class instead of a tank class. I mean it was a dps class when I played it in FFXI. They took hits like wet noodles. (I quit before aht urghan so I don't know if this ever changed)

*grumbles for a ranged magic damage job*

Samurai should be a hybrid tank/dps.

Red Mage should be a hybrid healer/dps.

Make Samurai, Red Mage, and Blue Mage able to do multiple roles.
Samurai > Tank or can switch to > Melee DPS
Red Mage > Healer or with can switch to > Ranged DPS
Blue Mage > Tank, Heal, or DPS depending on which monster skills or skill tree they use.
Although it would be cool, there of course would be gear issues lol maybe its not as good of an idea as i thought unless someone can think of something else.

Red Mage: While a Tank could be interesting, I choose both Melee/Magic DPS and Melee/Supportive DPS.

Samurai: Tank. A counter-based Tank could be interesting.

Red Mage should have a Rapier.

i don't see the point to add another tank jobs for now....
plus Yoshida have said it himself, SAM will be a dps.

i will have get hybrid for the redmage, i feel they will try something along this line.

Red Mage = Melee DPS with heals/nukes.
Please =D
