@Naoki Yoshida-> Make Samurai a Tank class!

Ok, so he did say that. Can you direct me to the comments in august and november? Were the sources live letters specifically?

It was stated that at some point during the Three year anniversary 14 hour broadcast that Yoshida said the summer event hinted towards the number of jobs that were being added to the next expansion. I do not know when it was stated during the broadcast and that there isn't an official english translation for the whole thing, so that can be taken with a grain of salt.

After that, in a japanese interview released in November from gamewatch that was done after the NA fanfest, they asked if the silhouettes shown during the "New Jobs" slide indicated if there was only going to be two new jobs. Yoshida replied the two silhouettes were not indicative towards the number of jobs for the expansion.

These two things would lean towards suspecting 3 jobs again, as there's been no further or recent comments reiterating that 3 jobs would be too hard to develop again. Especially when stormblood supposedly has a larger budget, on top of not having a new race (freeing up a lot of resources that can be put towards job assets) it's easier to believe they'll stick with 3 jobs again, even if it's hard to do.

Thanks, I only needed you to steer me in the right direction to find the info. I'll look around. Thanks again!
