Idea for 4.0 Tank Class

[Freyyy]

As far as I love the idea of a Red Mage tank, I don't think we'll see a new sword tank anytime soon. They should release some sword DPS jobs. Unless they're planning to implement the talent tree system in 4.0, then we could see SAM having a tank and a DPS tree, RDM having tank, DPS and healer, DRK and WAR having tank and DPS too etc...

That's unlikely to happen, but they hinted we'd be getting SAM then, so there's your sword using DPS.

We never know, Yoshi said that he was interested in implementing talent trees and jobs with multiple roles in the future. Considering that RDM is hinted for 4.0 and the fact that it has always been that super versatile job in every FF games, it could be a good expansion to implement talent trees. And since they also hinted SAM which is still debated about "should it be a tank or a DPS ?" for the exact same expac... I don't think it's that unlikely to happen. Don't forget that 4.0 will most likely bring a lot of new things to the game since they'll drop the PS3 version. We never know.
