Give Me Samurai & Thief or give me death!

[Combinatoric]

self-chaining WS was powerful damage, whooda thunk.

THIS is what I want. I just want Skill Chains and Magic bursts back. Limit breaks pale in comparison with SC and MB, in terms of teamwork and combat complexity. I miss them so much! Off tank provoke > SATA > SC > MB.

What if they made Samurai a high speed stance changer?

when i remember the skill chain of FF11 i had a nice idea, why not give it to the samurai, i means, imagine the Weaponskill give an effect if you do it into an order specific.
like:
- first you do an horizontal slash Weaponskill
- second you do an vertical slash weaponskill
- result a cross slash weaponskill.

it will be different of the combo system we have actually for most of the class, here the system is to chain technic and get effect like the skill chain of FF11. the most funny part is they can give us the technic but don't give us the chart for skillchain, leaving the community try different skill chain for find every effect.

ok i dream, but i feel it can give an increadible system for a melee class, no?

ps: when i think about it, it can be used for a magic class to, like the geomancer that will fuse spell like wind+water = ice

I think THF (and possibly NIN) could come off the same class (similar to ACN>SMN/SCH). Maybe a short sword/dagger dual-wielding slightly sneaky "Operative" or something. THF goes crit-based spike dmg, while NIN goes evasion.

SAM is a difficult one since as said in a previous post the class/job should share weapons, so its base class would need Great Katana as well or maybe great katana could just be a different type of "great sword", then they could spec out DRK off this base class. Maybe "Fighter" (which has been a class in FF Tactics before), could use two-hand swords. One path peels off to DRK and one to SAM. DRK would be STR/INT based where SAM is STR/VIT.

Speculation!

Yes..........

3 words: Sam/Thf, Sky...haidate!

[Ezrah]

I miss sky so much ; ; I'll never forget firing off Tachi: Gekko's on Kirin over and over and...well you get it.

[Deltara]

It's just been confirmed

that I too want thief in this game.

If they do class/job updates anything like the way they introduced them in FFXI we got a good two years before we see anything.

Sam should not be a tank, period.... Unless they give dark knights great sword and uber DDing prowess, then go for it...I want a DD sword wielding class/job XD
