SAM casting

[Mostly_Raxus]

OooOO did i touch a nerve? you seem awfully upset that i described a real samurai to you with facts that they are anything but slow and not cringe weeb material.
and it seems you glossed over my other response to what samurai mains really want it to be like i wonder why?

if you getting shown to be a fool is considered stirring my nerve, then ReeEEEEEEEeeeEEeeeee indeed.

you described a samurai from the point of view of someone that watched sword art online.

a real samurai didn't even use a sword unless forced too, they used a bow, and they were considered dishonored if they were so bad a shot that their enemy got close enough for them to have to draw the sword... not to mention the katana is a flimsy easily broken weapon that cost too much to wield carelessly...

as far as your other responses, you are not that important dude, I'm not following you around the forum to hear your less than intriguing takes..

the stormblood trailer 100% shows what this games intention for samurai is.

okay bet then,

absolutely wrong on your part you should do your research more thoroughly my guy, wiki and google are not the only sources of intel in case you didn't know
Samurai wielded not just a sword(katana or wakizashi)which by the way wasn't as flimsy as you like to claim because they refined their swordsmithing literally so that the blade would cut thru bones an armor a technique called "folding" they also sometimes wielded spears, bows(as you pointed out) short swords or blades, axes, and were at times taught basic hand to hand combat.

and your claim is that from a trailer ??? really lmao i can't take your argument seriously you wanna know what they told us samurai really is how they envisioned? from the mouth of Naoki Yoshida, producer and director of FFXIV Online when asked by an interviewer what they based the concept of samurai off of he told them he envisioned it to be like that of the "Ronin" which are lordless/houseless(noble) samurai who used unconventional means of fighting while maintaining the discipline of bushido(way of the blade) they were mercenaries most of the time and didn't care for honor nor technique so this bull shit of them being refined or polished is just a lame excuse to look cool and thats it period nothing more. and is completely inaccurate to what they claim they envision when its fact that Ronin were anything but disciplined or refined they were cut throats and killers who could give a rats behind about any of that they needed to kill to survive if not then to look intimidating enough so to scare trespassers or rule breakers.
