Dark knight have been hinted as job, while samurai was just found in a music folder, and some time ago Yoshi said he wanted to implement a 2handed sword job, samurai or dark knight so i don't think, unless they decide to keep the class system and place the two on the same base class as dps and tank.

I hope it comes. Been waiting for it since launch!

it's possible, both could use 2h sword. but tank and DD from same class, would be kinda difficult to balance.
class would need to be jack of all trades, while the jobs are specialized. GLD is already def specialized, so it's really not possible to add a DD to GLD, without re-working GLD.

Would in a heart beat ditch Paladin for Samurai. But really, to have a folder named after it... must be BIG!

Right, but what we don't know is what are they doing with the class system, Yoshi said he wanted to "rework" or "change" it.

Now i think about it, we know a few things, they want a new healer and a tank, the gun job was confirmed before the last e3, even the original game had the guild, he wanted to add 2handed sword job, and, i read this in another thread, so i don't know the source, Yoshi also wanted to add a melee mage , so it's possible.

I'm rather interested in this new line of thought that a class branches into 2 jobs that are on opposite sides of Eorzea.

Lol, im glad im not the only one who caught the name of that folder. unfortunately im not a member of twitch so i couldn't ask if anyone saw what I had just seen

I'm at the fan festival and one of the attendees asked the music director about the Samurai folder. The music director put his finger to his lips and said "Shhhhh..... it's a secret". So that pretty much confirmed SAM for me. Guess we have to wait till next week for the "official" word and hopefully video of the new jobs. I predict at least three or hopefully 6 if the new classes split off like Arcanist does.

They could always add a simple skill like "Cleric Stance" which switches your attributes and turns a tank to DPS/DPS to tank similar to CNJ/WHM. That would be the easiest way to do it. Swap VIT and STR.
