You don't know what a red mage or blue mage is do you? They're both melee classes.

The problem with samurai is that we already have a two hand sword wielder. The options for weapon models would be somewhat limited, and the moment DRK gets a katana (they already have many many weapons that are close), then SAM is gone.

The real problem is that there aren't really any more plate wearing FF classes. And the tanks need to wear plate in this game. Unless they put BST in armor or something, I see them struggling to find a new tank.

Not that we need one, they may just add a new disciple of war and a new disciple of magic dps. The one tank, one dps, one healer system isnt set in stone. And we've come to a good split on numbers of Tanks to heals to dps, which was a problem in ARR.
