Samurai coming?

[Ramesses]

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

[Yoshida] We are certainly thinking of adding Excalibur with some unique specifications. On the other hand, I believe Masamune will truly prove its worth only when samurai and ninja jobs are implemented.

This was about two years ago, and here we are with Ninja about 9 days away from implementation. Here he flat out implies Samurai would be added, by way of talking about it's potential [finshed] relic. He then states that both jobs are very popular overseas (which they are).

This Q&A was also asked and replied to in the Live Letter III:

Q7: When will musketeer be implemented?
A7: Including samurai and ninja, we are currently at the stage where we are looking into which we would like to add next, so we haven’t yet decided on the specifics. However, in the future we are imagining dual wield and double barrel guns, so please look forward to it!

Take it as you will.

Yoshi-P said he wasn't fond of the way SCH and SMN ended up with their split, so we may no longer see splits from classes into jobs.

I think that may have more to do with caster/healer Int/Mind priority causing SCH/SMN to need two i55+ weapon sets in order to limit Scholar's post 50 power.

Tank/mDps role split would have fewer problems equipment wise due to Tank and mDps equipment having the same Str/Vit amounts.

This is the Dev team were talking about, Sho... they could confirm Samurai but we dont get to see it until 3.4 or something. And yeah, I've seen all those interviews and actually posted news from all his Live letters on my blog.

That's precisely why I said "way too many hints" above but ... and perhaps I needed to exhibit my thoughts more clearly... I'm hoping that the confirmation announcement will be made at London and not sometime in December or early 2015.
