SAMURAI SHOWDOWN

[Yhisa]

Samurai will be a dps but me personally dont want old jobs to come back to the game from XI

But look at this

Pld/ war/ drk = Vitality
Whm/ ast / sch = Mind
Mech/ nin/ bard = Dexterity
BLM/ SMN = Intellect
Drg / Mnk = strength

Going by this i believe we will see a INT or STR base dps this is for certain for all we know they could be making a brand new job from using all of the resources from XI

Example would be AST which is a combination of WHM/SCH and corsair (cards)

But i really hope its not Geomancer, rune fencer, samurai, beast master, puppeteer, dancer, etc leave it all behide and make somethink new

Id love an exorcist for a healer or dps but thats me and im thw minority

For the most part, they're not Final Fantasy XI Jobs, they're just Final Fantasy Jobs... This is a Final Fantasy game, so they're likely to focus on the iconic Final Fantasy Jobs rather than make their own thing... Part of their goal with this game is to appeal to nostalgia, so I doubt they'd do something silly like Bravely Default did... That said, I wouldn't mind some Bravely Default/Second Jobs making their way over in some form... We seemingly gave them Astrologian, so it only seems fair... Wizard + Fencer in particular seems like a great way to implement Red Mage here IMO (fencing stances + magic crafting, perfect).

The only new Job Final Fantasy XI added was Puppet Master, arguably Rune Fencer too, but I'd say that's close enough to the Mystic Knight/Runic Knights of FFV/VI. Although if I'm going to get into that, I'm fairly sure Puppet Master was just Edgar with a pet... I think some of the pet attachments even shared some of the names with his Tools gimmick.

I really don't think they're using the primary stats as a basis for balancing the type of jobs they're bringing.
