Samurai and Ninja

[yoshikwalla]

Samurai is already part of the original content of FFXIV. It was at alpha already. So i'd expect that one of the regions not unlocked still (there are 4 in Eorzea already at line to be unlocked) being oriental-based.

Never knew that... was in Beta, not Alpha.

The problem that I have are people requesting content from XI to be in XIV. While I understand the idea of reincarnating a person's 7-year FFXI character in FFXIV, there need to be differences.

It's opinions from people like you is why this game ifs failing....first of all almost all MMOs have these classes already in the game as standard ..what made ff11 diffrent was it had SAM and NIN.It is not about reincarnating an old character it's about making a new one with a shiny new katanas and the sound they make.It doesnt matter if they are the best damage dealer in the game or the worst it's just plain cool as shit being a SAM or NIN in a decent MMO.What you need to understand is people who played ff11 expect that there be similarities ...they want to feel the familiarities to a beloved game ...we all saw what happened when you try to fix crap that is not broken.... epic fail of a release.They should have taken all the things they learned from ff11 and used what worked and not listen to people like you who wants everything to be "different".

What you're saying contradicts the very plans of SE atm which is to bring back the traditional FF jobs. They already have them planned and are probably under development. They're doin this simply because they realize the current classes are hardly appealing to much people and fans just love the jobs they had in the past. Nothing wrong with bringing them back in, infact, they have repeated sam/nin jobs over and over in previous FF's, no one complained, it's fun.

This is not to say they have to be the same, but the idea of having such jobs is just very cool and appealing to huge number of people to the extent that it can make or break for some. I personally don't fancy any of the classes we have atm and i'm not enjoying game much due to that and i know many others that don't. Although frankly majority of the blame goes on the Crusty battle system/abilities/animations we currently have. Perhaps If they were done good, i wouldn't be thinking hard about new jobs like Sam and Nin now. Hopefully it will all improve starting with 1.18 with AA and new patches coming through. Looking forward to see how it'll turn out.

But yeah as you can see, Reinventing the wheel isn't always the best way.
I would note thought that I'd definitely like to see major difference in Sam or Nin if they come and i would naturally expect they will be.
