[Dev Request] Exclusive Samurai Weapon

If red mage is getting The Chicken Knife, why can't Samurai get an exclusive weapon too? Zanmato (Cyans legendary weapon), and the Masamune are a missed opportunity in my opinion.

The exclusive SAM item was Syldra. It allows the player to wade through all the tears at a faster pace. (I'm joking sorta)

I am surprised that they didn't add or announce anything. Idk about the named weapons though. I'd rather see those added in a relic stage or something.

At the very least a Chicken Katana would of been fun.

Yeah, I was thinking of some exclusive final fantasy "joke" weapon of sorts, but I'm too tired to go research them.

Well you always have mog weapons for joke stuff, I'm sure we'll see Masamune and similar swords too but probably as like relics and other harder to obtain items. Would like to see a jade weapon at some point (if they can make it look nice, not just a neon green color).

One weapon I thought might be a little funny is if like the sheathe of the katana was very small dagger size (3 inches tops), but as the character drew the weapon it just kept coming out becoming a near max possible length weapon from the tiny clip on your belt XD.

Perhaps another:
Almighty Katana, The Sealed Weeabuu - with some backstory about the wielder forsaking their home and spending their fortune on a most beautiful and ornate Katana. The adventurer was unfortunately felled during the weapon's tameshigiri (when the Katana is tested on a cutting material). Due to their poor skill and overconfidence to test the sword before shown how, and great power of the Weeabuu sword, the testing bamboo exploded - making like a cactur, dotting their body with ten thousand needles. They died of dishonor, and blood loss, as they were alone. To be a lesson to other students the sword is now sealed in bent bamboo, blood red ribbons, and tied at the sheathe with two obnoxious bells. A true wielder of Weeabuu can still cut clean, even through it's bamboo skin. Attacking makes the hollow thunk sound of bamboo :3. (Could also be sealed in goza, the tatami stuff).

Don't get me wrong about the Weeabuu sword joke though, I don't think liking something of another culture automatically makes you illogical/a crazed fanatic and I see a lot of people who just enjoy the culture get called a weeaboo.. I've always considered was more for the zealous blind, usually willfully ignorant type. That's not really fair but, I do feel like when the Samurai and Katana are discussed magically out of no where all the super fanatic fans appear lol, and unfortunately the west nearly always gets dragged in with very few people know anything about western stuff (or even slightly west "eastern" stuff).

I imagine they'll add Sephiroth's (FFVII) Katana at some point. That could make for a pretty neat kind of glamour weapon. My guess is something like Masamune would be the new Anima/Relic weapon.

I wouldn't mind if they included a Chicken Katana as a new bonus item for Pre-Ordering/Collector's Edition of Stormblood.

Which wouldn't work, as the Chicken Knife is actually a weapon from FFV (it increased in damage output the more times you fled from battle, hence the name ;)), in keeping with the other bonuses being FFV themed as well.

Really there's more other famous katana type weapons from the series SE could add as a bonus for SAM, like Mumeito, the default katana the player gets when unlocking SAM in FFXI for instance? Or, in keeping with FFVII, Yoshiyuki? (A katana that was one of Cloud's weapons that had a unique mechanic that temporarily buffed it when there was players close to death in the party).

Either way, I'm sure we'll see something for SAM soon enough.

Pretty sure they will show it off in one of the next live letters.

If it even gets one. I just feel like if they're going to give exclusive weapons to new jobs, they should do one for all of the new additions.

I cant see them giving a proper weapon, but i can totally see a chicken katana or baseball bat being announced soon. Each job needs a joke weapon IMO

Red mage: chicken knife
Samurai: baseball bat
Paladin: dustpan and brush
Warrior: mop
Dark knight: street sign
Monk: foam fists
Dragoon: chimney sweeper
Ninja: knife and fork
Bard: slingshot
Machinist: super soaker
Black mage: A tall lamp
Summoner: cake recipe book
White mage: what are those things in hospitals? the stands that hold up bags of fluid? those, complete with fluid bag
Scholar: Iunno, pervy magazine featuring fairies?
Astrologian: Ego-metre. Glows brighter whenever an AST should feel proud of their accomplishments (never glows at all)

Why are you healers so problematic when it comes to creating weapons?

How about a terrestrial globe. :P

I don't really count chicken knife as a joke weapon though. Judging by the aesthetic, it looks rather nice, and doesn't seem to have anything funny to it other than the name.

Monks already have glowing relic teapots. I'd say they easily fit in such a list.

RDM gets one cause they special, SAM- not so much!

Its no more a joke weapon than the moggle mog set, it's just the chocobo equivilent.

If anything, you're getting a chicken weapon too. No cool lore driven weapons unless the other guy gets one.

A sam exclusive weapon could still come around somewhere in stormblood, the chicken knife we're getting because rdm had been announced before or at the same time they had presented the stormblood package and its bonus's. To have put something for sam into that package they would have had to basicly announce sam at the same time.

Cant they add Excalipoor as a SAM weapon? It originated in FFV with Gilgamesh and to be fair I hope he returns.

All of its stats would have to be 1 though :P

I'd like a hagun please.

Masamune will most likely be Samurai's relic from the Forbidden Land of Eureeeeeka
