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

[Shougun]

You know, I almost hope this is how it goes. Spider-Man references BLU or DNC or ??? and then right after effing BAM! Samurai sweeps the show. Even though I would love to have something themed after Blue mage (I still believe it'll be tied to void and act like the symbiotes Venom and Carnage) I've gotten used to the idea of SAM and hope they have fun with it. Really would like it to be anime as hell and a DPS, but I'll take what comes. If nothing else I'll always have WAR

It would be neat to get three jobs, but I would like to see the forum if they separate the announcements out a little lol.

HAHAHA TOLD YOU! WHAT AN IDIO---- "And we also announce BLU (or SAM)!!"

Good times . Samurai does have a lot of hint drops in game, that Samurai looking image from Stormblood announcement pre-orders, but I still think Spider Man better references BLU and there are more than "canny" references with Raubahn (once I actually looked into it). If it does reference Samurai then I feel like it wasn't the best shirt to wear xD (gaining power from being bit/Symbiote power of beasts/infusion is a far higher theme in spidermans than a specific one of many directors/new comics).

So at this point I'm very \_(ツ)_/¯ at this point lol.

Ala Mhigo and Samurai go together like Katanas and Highlanders



I mean with a name like "Stormblood" they are practically shoving the Quickening in our face. To everyone with all their hopes and opinions I humbly put forth..... There can be only one... possible option here. That and the data mine.

If the Eye of Eorzea misses this one I'll be super shocked (unless they can't get it in and don't want a highlander specific race reference), at this point I imagine he's already jotted it down when Samurai was first brought up haha. Him and the team's reference skills are too stronk. There can only be one!

Oh SE... Why must you keep mentioning the Samurai name in this game... You will give people the wrong idea this patch..

The wrong idea? Like they're going to add the most requested and constantly hinted at (and semi-confirmed) job to the game?

If samurai becomes a thing the mogstation will sell out of Snow glamours and we will see highlanders named MacLeod all over Balmung fo months.

A marked improvement over catboys and ishgardian elezen NPC rp'ers.

Miqotes familiar with the ways of the miner's guild are def. the best though.... I mean Hum, yes dirty Scions! *

I bet Viera, if it gets added, is going to be one heck of a month on Balmung >.<; haha

Back onto Samurai though, I would be really interested to see if many people become Highlanders at the release of Samurai. Like it's big enough to reference and a few to get but.. do you think we'll have a noticeable influx of superior Hyurs? lol.

I'm fairly glad that people mostly think it's Samurai or Blue Mage - I'd really like both so I feel a good chance I'll be happy either way, no offence to the dancer job (to each their own style/desire).


*But one must remember, everyone is a manthra until proven otherwise - I just miss my Miqote NPC, and my Lala, they were pretty fun and wish they had more content >.>

I take offense to that.

Or Scions.

I have yet to come across any RP'ers RP'ing as Scions of the Seventh Dawn. Wasn't aware this was a thing.

More like one heck of the Game's Lifetime. That said, I'd still take Viera over Au Ra any day, and Dwarves aren't a bad option but, again, I think people will be disappointed when they expect some stout hairy man with a Ramuh beard and instead they get Kili from The Hobbit, with that stubble being the max facial hair option.

Lol, I just meant that the release will be filled with people RPing Viera, like we'll have bunnies popping out of the ground and for a while it's going to be madness - we have a lot of people who dance Miqote, but like.. haha I don't think people will be able to resist not doing sexy bunny, at least for a while.

Anyway don't take it like "oh im going to hate the game then", just more like it's going to be an absurd imbalance - like when Ninja came out expect special for Balmung because it's a race people can build a character around.

I've come across a few scion RPers, but I mostly recall Miqote and the pink bear guy :3. no idea who he is but he's now someone I think of when I run around Ul'dah haha.

I hope to see some people RP highlanders (show, not the race), will just be really funny to see xD.

[Dualblade]

If we end up getting better character customization more Highlanders might happen atleast for a bit. Course given that it should be for all races it might just mean even more of the same.

Just means less competition for ya'll atleast.

I really don't understand how yoshi wearing a spider-man shirt is a tease for any job...
