I guess the term "speculation" could be applied to Samurai, but certainly not Dark Knight. That was as confirmed as it can get without blatantly saying the name.

At the fan fest last weekend, Yoshi made a joke about the battle director wearing a shirt but "misplacing it". A shirt with a Batman logo. Specifically, Christopher Nolan's interpretations of Batman, hence Dark Knight.

During Soken's "Music Panel" presentation, he was showing how the music was mixed with track-recording programs. At one point during his presentation, he went into a folder on his computer (all of this being on the large projection screens in the background) and someone sitting in the audience was using their zoom function on their camera and spotted a folder entitled "Samurai". He then proceeded to shout "Whats in the Samurai folder?!?!?!"

Soken seemed to be completely caught off guard and looked directly at Yoshi. Yoshi looked visibly upset. Then Soken smiled and put a finger up to his lips and said "Secret".

I think we can please look forward to Samurai being announced at the London fan fest. Maybe they would have chosen to leak the other job we get, but since it was kind of pointed out, logic says they will just let that cat out of the bag and hide the last job much better during the London show.


On topic: I agree with the 3rd job sticking to the medieval theme as well. We already have Alchemy in the game, but potions/tonics and things like that were a large and important part of the medicine practice during that time period. I think the healer class will be a Chemist, to make use of the healing-type potions in the game that largely go unused.
