New Class Speculations

If we can't have SAM as a STR melee DPS type and SAM end up as another Tank. I would prefer the next STR DPS to be Gunblade Job as we are getting closer to the Garlean Empire now assuming 4.0 is Ala Mhigo.

With Gunblade Job as a Melee DPS we can even have Lion Heart as our LB3 or a more single target style Blasting Zone.

It seems like any Job that uses RWBY style weapons (Yes I know that the concept didn't start there but in Final Fantasy, but it seem to epitomize that idea more then Final Fantasy) would be a Melee/Ranged by default (not like Bard and Machinist, but still close tot hose two) and unless they make Bind viable or ease on positioning mechanics (though that seem to be a player thing anyway), a Ranged Tank would run into some issues.

On the other hand, Tanks are associated with stances, so it might still be possible if the Tank stance turns ranged attacks into Melee and the DPS stance turned melee attacks into ranged.

Sorry there was a typo in my comment being"STR Tank" is actually "STR DPS". Was a bit out of it when typing the comment since I am grinding my anima weapon mats.

On topic:
I just personally picture Gunblade Job more as a Melee DPS over a Tank since despite how the game always picture Gunblade users in Tankish armor they attack more aggressively like DPS instead of defensively.

Genrealy speaking. This is a Correlation =/= Causation thing. The only people in this game with Gunblaes were Garlean legati, an in a refernce to XII's Arcadian Judges, ALL of them have armor. Menawhile in other Games that have Gunblade (read: VII and XIII) their wielders are not wearing metal armor (well Lightning in XIII-2 was an exception), so having Gunblade users as DPS classes as you mentioned does seem a little more likely.
