I'm worried about them adding Othard in to be honest. Liberating Ala Mhigo would feel like a major enough accomplishment that'd leave Eorzea stricken with War Fatigue for decades, but Othard as well? Even if it was only part of Othard being reclaimed. It also diminishes future Expansion content possibility, while making it feel like both Ala Mhigo and Doma will be crammed together and neither having the full focus they deserve individually.

Dancer not being hinted does not matter, it's a job I enjoyed playing, by this point in the games existence it should already exist. I held out for thief when I first started because it was announced as a job in development at the time it was what really sold me on the game, to bide my time and learn about ffxiv I took up lancer, then other jobs then finally rogue dropped... Rogue and ninja was a huge bait and switch. I've done all of the content I've watched friends lose interest, and move on to Overwatch and other games because the Themepark just didn't have the right attractions anymore. After watching the trailer, and seeing the disjointed muddled direction that is no direction and this games future I don't know that this game has the right attractions for me either. It's not about one thing it's many things, it's an empty fc/linkshell 2 weeks after a patch, it's about friends checking out 3 months into an expansion because the game does not have the legs it should to carry players over. I am stubborn, I have learned to surround myself with stubborn people those people tend to stick around. The stubborn people are leaving now, if I decide to leave it's no simple matter, it's complex there are layers, and deep valid reasons because I cannot abandon an investment in time and money lightly. SE needs to really bring it, and bring it hard, they have to really sell Samurai and Redmage now that they've made the deal with stupid they need to validate that decision and IF they succeed I'll consider buying in. Right now they're really reaching.

For an expansion they claim is Ahead of schedule, and much farther progressed than forecast the state of things makes me uneasy. I admit having a favorite job to look forward to would have instantly loosened my wallet and a Collectors Edition purchase would have been made at announcement. It would have done this with many others and likely the samurai dps fans are already bought in. How many did they lose with that announcement? With a disappointing 2 job offering and neither being interesting to me I will look more critically at what this game will have to offer and make harsher judgments. Why would I leave over dancer not being added? I wouldn't, I would leave over an empty game and that is this games bleak future.

Welp. Cleeng ruining it again, stutter time. And I am located in Germany....

... Out of curiosity, anyone else getting buffer/ stream stuttering?

Yeah lots of buffering and stuttering.

I'm honestly getting ready for Cleeng to completely crap out during the Keynote, and I foolishly paid for this too =\

and they wanted $30/pounds w/e it is for that and they can't even have it work correctly?

It actually started working 20 mins or so before the Keynote, at least for germans.

Going to be gathering garo set for monk if they do indeed share gear, back to fem roe...FEM ROE SAMURAI.

MNK gear would not fit Samurai.
My guess go to sharing gear with DRG (because of the extra def on it) until lv 60 and then get own sets

Samurai will probably share gear with monk. I would say most sets aren't designed to the class, but to the place they're acquired, or the theme. Look at the Lore Tome gear, the Eikon sets. All healers had Shiva gear. You didn't see Shiva Gear for WHM, then one for SCH, then one for AST, even though all three have very different aesthetics.

DRG gear have more the armored style, while MNK gear is more styled around mobility. SAM will be like DRG a def melee.
For healer there are not different styles like with the melee gears. All healers share the same def, the same mdef and the same main stat, so they don't need different gears.

Yoshi said straight up that Sam is sharing gear with Mnk, period. As far as it fitting mnk? Sure it does. Yoshi said he imagined the samurai in robes and cloth, the lightly armored eastern style mnk gear could definitely work with Samurai.

[Vexander]

If Samurai were a DPS with a Shogun look, I'd say it'd share gear with DRG.
Samurai is a DPS with an aesthetic for cloth, so it should share gear with MNKs.

And the Samurai is wearing robes/cloth.... like Monks do. So why would armor matter?

Also this.
