Samurai Job = DPS Job

[Triston]

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.

You realize the name of the expansion in Japanese is ALSO Heavensward, right? http://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/heavensward/
It is extremely common for Japanese companies to produce material and name it in English, then use a subtitle to back-translate it into Japanese for the Japanese audience. Source: I have a degree in Japanology :|
The official name of the expansion in Japanese is
Heavensward: Final Fantasy XIV Online
蒼天のイシュガルド　ファイナルファンタジーＸＩＶ
You can see it in the banner at the bottom of the page http://jp.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/ . Notice how the Japanese text is significantly smaller and off to the side. It's there as a subtitle, the NAME of the game is Final Fantasy XIV Online, NOT ファイナルファンタジーＸＩＶ, and the expansion is named Heavensward, NOT 蒼天のイシュガルド. If you take issue with the Japanese using English names as official names for products, you can take that up with the entire country of Japan and its culture?

On topic, I'm not surprised. Despite wearing heavy armor, classically Samurai has been a job with heavily damaging moves like Bushido, supplemented with minor debuffs like the Weapon/Armor Break-style moves. (and Gil Toss, which I would be disappointed if FFXIV's SAM doesn't use Gil Toss (with no actual gil cost ofc) as its generic 'this is a melee character but here's your crappy 150 potency ranged attack in case you wanted it')
