@Naoki Yoshida-> Make Samurai a Tank class!

[Madepossible]

I know that I'm not the only one that wants Samurai as a TANK class, there are many people out there that prefer the tank class. If red mage is gonna be DPS, DPS has two sword wielding classes: Ninja and Red Mage so your argument is invalid. Why does the ques take long for DPS? Because tanking is not the favorite role while queuing as a Tank is instant que in duty finder plus bonus. Mr. Yoshida I can wait a few extra months for samurai If it will be a tank class. Monk already is excluded from most raids, why making them even more excluded with adding more classes to the DPS tier? All I want is fairness, give us an Asian oriented Tank Class, DPS already has 2: Ninja and Monk. In an interview you mentioned the samurai that might go Tank, may be a Shogun type: don't do that either, make it an over the edge type of offensive tank class like Warrior. This will also balance out the tank tier list: PLD/DRK= Main Tank WAR/Samurai= Off Tank! (ಠ o ಠ)¤=[]:::::>

We don't even know if red mage is confirmed, though myself and many are pretty sure it might as well be confirmed. We also have no clue as to how it'll play at this point in time. I wouldn't label daggers as swords either, even if ninja tend to use some rather long daggers. It doesn't make my statement invalid and not worth considering. I also don't see why queue length have any relevance to hoping a class's role is one way or another. As for raids, can't base it on what close-minded people believe are best or not. Regardless, even if it was a tank, most raids would end up taking whatever two jobs will push out the most DPS. If it would end up being SAM/WAR with WAR still doing the most damage, SAM will end up MTing.

Still, we have no idea if SE has any intentions to bring samurai into the world of FFXIV currently.

We don't need another sword wielding tank class, if we're getting another tank class it should be something that's actually different.

i am thinking about a samurai tank with a Kanabo as weapon. samurai, tank, another blunt weapon to increase monk's utility (monk's can lower the blunt resistance of enemys). then it's not even a second two hander sword tank...

but yeah... a samurai without a katana? why even bother implementing? xD
