Samurai Job = DPS Job

[Edeline]

off-topic but what the heck, Ishgard was in the name of the expansion in JP? Why not in english? I hate when the localization team goes batty and comes up with some random name for things. It ends up sucking bad...no offense to anyone that likes the name, but it just sounds so lazy. sounds like they just asked people to think of any random name they thought sounded cool and put it in a hat to be drawn.

on topic, I guess its cool they may release sam in the future.

Welcome to the world of marketing and localizations. Titles are made for their initial developed content (Japanese), then translated into different ones. If they make literal translations, titles could be really long. For marketing purposes, they translate them into shorter and "good looking" texts.

If I remember correctly, the JP expansion title translates to "Blue Skies of Ishgard" or something along those lines.

Doesn't look like anything close to a commitment to make it a DPS job. It "feels" more like a DPS to him, but given that they're not even committing to adding it at all (still "examining"), I'm staying expectationless on this one.

I'm just disappointed that they are still stuck in the trinity box mindset.

Holding out hope they branch out instead of playing it safe.

pretty much what bixby said. nowhere was it said "sam is a dps". closest is saying it feels like a dps to Yoshi. and thats about it.

Which doesn't sound vague, lazy or random at all!!!!

Yes Samurai a DPS job where you have an ability to throw your Gil at enemies for massive damage!... In Japanese we can call it Zeninage... In English, um how about gil toss. Uh too plain... How about "Heaven's smite"!

After viewing the lore panel at the fan fest I am thoroughly convinced the game wouldn't be as good as it is without their localization team.
