RDM icon... Why you no hat?

So I missed this during the live letter but apparently they showed the two new Job icons. Both look...odd, but RDMs isn't a hat, like come on thats their trademark, why is it not a hat?

So is this the part where I bitch and moan and say that I am gonna quit the game now, even though it's the minorest of minor gripes that doesnt affect the game or my enjoyment of it? Oh god if someone actually did that I have some serious questions, lol.

So that aside what do you guys think of the new icons and what they are. RDM appears to be a combo of the WHM and BLM symbols stylized as a rapier, have no clue what SAM is, looks like a Chakrum?

SAM logo is the tsuba- guard of a katana seen from above

You acknowledged the fact that it's a combo of white and black. I don't have anything snarky to say. Damn you observant poster!

I think they are both pretty neat.

RDM looks like a speedometer. SAM looks like a bullet over a yin-yang symbol.

I present a picture I blatantly stole from another significantly big ffxiv platform which also currently has a debate on the RDM icon:

No wattle under the beak. Chicken class with a crown confirmed.

I like them. RDM is both pretty clever, and still relevant with the rapier shape. SAM was definitely not something I expected. Though I suppose a simple katana would've been quite boring. That or a traditional half moon helmet crest or something? Regardless, now that I actually know what it is I guess it's cool

That Chicken class.. will not be unseen.

But yea. Odd no hat in the icon.

I'm glad they didn't add the hat. I'm not a fan of it. I like the combination of WHM and BLM in the icon that was very easy to see. The samurai one had me stumped I had no clue what I was looking at , I'm glad someone stated it earlier what it is. Now I see it lol
