Predicting the next new Job after Ninja

Mononofu>Samurai

I have a hard time wrapping my head around this one. Not so much that I can't see it happening, on the contrary I'd love it if SAM came out, but I just don't know how it could be introduced without somehow crowbar-ing it into the current story, instead of in a story that deals with Doma or whatever other lands are eastern in thematics.

NIN I get because the base class is very much something we see in Eorzea as it is, but for SAM... I dunno, I just have a hard time seeing it.

how it could be introduced.

Well, no one said that it had to come to Eorzea. 3.0 could have us traveling to Doma where we get to unlock the class. It wouldn't have to be incorporated into the main storyline at all. It could just be a guild over there that we go and do the class quests for when we get there. Of course this means that we wouldn't be able to choose that class upon starting. I'm all for unlockable classes through story progression though.

Being an actual expansion pack it could have its own story completely unrelated to the main story we have now. They could place an early level restriction like 15 (coinciding with class changing) to unlcok access to the new area and then we could begin its storyline akin to how FFXI did its expansions.

3.0 has been said to be planned to introduce a similar amount of content as was in 2.0. I suspect that this will be one new 4 or 5 section area roughly the same size as the starting nations with level 1-49 content including a new starting city with its own new character storyline and a 50 to Cap area that may be roughly twice the size of the current nations.
