    Yup, this pretty much. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe he mentioned that Samurai would of been a Tank but instead they thought of Dark Knight which links up to Ishgard a lot better then Samurai, and decided to make Dark Knight a tank. My guess the condition for this is Samurai is going to be a DPS when it gets released in the future. Imo we're gonna have too many Slashing Tanks and that's it, we need more slashing DPS and that's where SAM comes in. Maybe the next tank will use a Hammer or something different from a sharp weapon.

    Edit : On topic, I like the idea's tbh! But I doubt its going to be a tank

    What i read was that yoshi-p was going to release SAM. But dark knight fit more the role of a tank then SAM which mean SAM should then be a DPS.

    SAM have to be a DPS i would really be sad if other cool job become a dam tank. Also it my long dream to be a SAM in a FF MMO

    I'd like to have a war hammer wielding job in tank role. Two handed preferably but what would fill it? Let me do some research...

    So it seems that there is no specific role that ever used hammers or war hammers as a main weapon. So if it gets introduced for our use it may be a new job entirely to the series.

    Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.
