Dark knight have been hinted as job, while samurai was just found in a music folder, and some time ago Yoshi said he wanted to implement a 2handed sword job, samurai or dark knight so i don't think, unless they decide to keep the class system and place the two on the same base class as dps and tank.

it's possible, both could use 2h sword. but tank and DD from same class, would be kinda difficult to balance.
class would need to be jack of all trades, while the jobs are specialized. GLD is already def specialized, so it's really not possible to add a DD to GLD, without re-working GLD.

Right, but what we don't know is what are they doing with the class system, Yoshi said he wanted to "rework" or "change" it.

Now i think about it, we know a few things, they want a new healer and a tank, the gun job was confirmed before the last e3, even the original game had the guild, he wanted to add 2handed sword job, and, i read this in another thread, so i don't know the source, Yoshi also wanted to add a melee mage , so it's possible.

They could always add a simple skill like "Cleric Stance" which switches your attributes and turns a tank to DPS/DPS to tank similar to CNJ/WHM. That would be the easiest way to do it. Swap VIT and STR.

Too add, soulstones could have stuff like "swap enmity in skills for small dps boost"

They're not officially revealing any new job info, they're just giving subtle hints, and they could have sneaked a samurai hint in a music folder to let players think.

They did say "Look for hints of Job classes at the various panels"

SAM- Music file
DRK- Batman T-shirt ( and His Favorite Movie from Batman, The " Dark Knight") <---- This one is more obvious

Im totally chuffed that Samurai is coming... over two years ago, I was one of those who kept asking on the forums for both Ninja and Samurai (Here is one of the links)... and now the Dev Team have delivered.

Yeah... me happy. There are way too many hints that confirm this; plus we shall hopefully get full confirmation at the London fest.


Heck, now I keep wondering what their gear is going to look like (and yeah, I agree with the speculation that it will be atank class... gotta be). Still hoping it'll have the traditional feel of the Samurai look...






BTW, similar to how Derplander is now the "Advanced Dragoon" (as shown in the 3.0 teaser trailer, methinks perhaps Derplander's buddy the Roegadyn will be the Samurai
