    You should keep in mind that jobs all share the base class's weapon, so unless you mean a whole new class entirely, and I don't see why Aldis should change class, Samurai cannot spring off as a job from Gladiator. Gladiator is sword/shield, so it'd be more likely if Paladin's "sibling" job coming from Gladiator would be another sword/shield job. Red Mage fits the description perfectly, but as of now I doubt it'd have a place in our job palette. I really do hope it comes out eventually though. It really bugs me to see only 4 of the 6 "original" jobs from the Final Fantasy core being in-game.

    Considering daggers stick out like a sore thumb for GLA, I have a feeling it'll either get more dagger focus (I honestly hope not) ordaggers will get removed and GLA will get a new secondary weapon to accomodate whatever job they decide to give GLA.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
    Red Mage - COMPLETE (https://tinyurl.com/y6tsbnjh), Chemist - Second Pass (https://tinyurl.com/ssuog88), Thief - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/vdjpkoa), Rune Fencer - First Pass (https://tinyurl.com/y3fomdp2)

    GLD could specialise to SAM very easily simply by making them unable to equip shields and giving them special SAM only swords... GLD is defined ONLY by the sword; the shield is simply a secondary piece of equipment much like it is for CNJ and THM. GLD > SAM is very possible and very likely in my opinion.
