Samurai and Ala Migho

[Shurrikhan]

I just have to ask... how is Samurai a fitting a choice for Ala Mhigo?

Granted, we didn't especially have much of a lore excuse for adding in a massive wave of Au'ra either (save for one character meant, iirc, to be among the relatively few surviving members of her race), but at least the jobs fit Ishgard well enough.
I'm not saying they were inherently based in Ishgard, only that the concerns of their own politics or philosophies (AST and DRK respectively) meshed well enough with what concepts Ishgard put out. Would the same be true of SAM? What connection do you see?

E.g. is it Doman influence carrying over from the last addition?
Or are we really imagining Old English Hyurs donning lamellar (or dressed down in just cloth, if you prefer) and whipping out katanas?...

I expect 3 jobs to be honest. 1 tank, 1 melee DPS, 1 healer, that would give us 4 tanks, 4 melees, 4 ranged and 4 heals. We all know how the FFXIV dev team likes balance in all things.

It also allows for nice even splits like...

If that's the impetus for adding the jobs, then I think we can be pretty sure we'll be seeing the exact same "<class> reskin" comments from before (e.g. Dark Rampart, Wanderless Barrel, WHM Sect). If they're intending each to add only to a very particular rank and file, they're scarcely adding options at all. Generally they add little more than choice of aesthetic.
