So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

In Final Fantasy XI the name of the Blue Mages were "The Immortals" and they were captained by a man named Raubahn. Gee wonder where that sounds familiar. The Immortal Flames in Ul'Dah is run by Raubahn who just so happens to also be an Ala Mhigan, not to mention that Ul'Dah is rather notorious for it's Ala Mhigan refugee population. I don't know, some people might brush that off, but I think it's just too much of a coincidence.

The other thing that makes me think BLU would just make more sense, is why release Samurai during an expansion about Ala Mhigo? Blue Mage follows the aesthetic much more than Samurai does if we want to make some comparisons to how they were in XI, and I think Samurai deserves a bit more, like being released in an expansion when traveling to Doma.

I also think BLU would make for a better tank than SAM, I am really hoping SAM won't be a tank but ehhh that's a person bias lol.

Long story short, could be SAM which is what most people thing, but in reality I think BLU would make more sense for this expansion at least.

2 DPS would be a bad idea. I can already see the threads at launch of people complaining about the DPS queues.

It will last 2 weeks like when HW launched and everyone and their mother was playing drk and dps had instant queues.

They should focus on balancing the current tanks and healers before they start thinking about adding more IMO

Existence of active non-role reliant content such as PotD, Frontline PvP and possibly the new Daidem and Chocobos being pets rather than party members allowing for better soloing while waiting on queues might negate a fair amount of complaints.

You sir have a fantastic point.

Also a few visual points.

The hero theme.

Part of the Collectors edition is Butz where BLU first appeared.

You're all wrong. Hot off the heels of Alexander, we're going to get our own giant mech piloting class. Just like Japanese spiderman. https://youtu.be/_C7XjidN090?t=63

Spider man was created by Stan Lee.

Stan Lee's parents fled nazi Germany.

Hitler confirmed.

Doma is gone, razed to the ground, it's nothing more than a pile of rubble so there's nothing to even go to. The Domans that survived fled to Eorzea via ships to avoid the empire. So if Samurai's come specifically from Doma, then they'd now only really be found in Eorzea. So how does that somehow not fit?

Web = strings = Puppetmaster
Spider = animal = Beastmaster
Spiderman director = Sam Raimi = Samurai
Spiderman shirt speculation = Red and blue = Blue Mage

I'm starting to believe SE is going to wait till 5.0 to introduce SAM, and its going to be magiteck based. My sole evidence, this guy.

DRK was a tank. That's why DPS had instant queues. If you had only DPS then the opposite will happen and DPS queues will get longer. It is pretty much the exact opposite of what happened when HW launched.
