Roles for Samurai, Red Mage, Dancer

[Welsper59]

I really hope they'd make Dancer more Bard than Bard actually is here. I miss the concept of support jobs from the FF series, even if they were lackluster in practice, outside of XI's nearly perfect application of the role in an MMORPG.

Tanks are only unpopular when compared to the entirety of dps roles though. The populations of players who play melee dps jobs is pretty much the same as tank players according to the official census. So the number of players who'd be attracted to the "good" jobs like samurai and dark knight is generally the same.

You don't get to sit here and dictate that tank players who are arguably more important to the health of the game, should be relegated to the scraps of uninteresting jobs just because you're a selfish mess.

Don't overlook a significant reason for the DPS role being more popular. The responsibility and attention for it. Tanks are traditionally the leaders, and no one likes to lead or have that responsibility no matter how easy it might be to play it. Spotlight is frequently on you. Likewise with healers, the spotlight is even moreso on you during combat. You mess up too much and you're going to be blamed for not healing enough (even if it may have been impossible to heal because everyone else was ****ing up). No one wants to deal with that crap.
