Samurai Job = DPS Job

[Edeline]

I'm still reeling with bemusement that they turned Dark Knight, a major DPS job from every single FF game ever, into a tank of all things. It's like giving a White Mage heavy armor and pitting them against a legendary dragon. I would have much preferred a new, unique tank rather than taking a classic job and disemboweling it.

Still, at least Samurai is sounding like the job I expected it to be. It'll be interesting to see what mechanics they'll get to make them unique compared to existing melee jobs.

Now you have to understand that every Final Fantasy is different and things may vary. They keep their dark theme with dark magic, knight armor, skill names(?) even, but what does it make it that DRK has to be >exclusively< a DPS in every FF. Also, only FFXI was an online game. If we followed your argument, there wouldn't be any tank at all in FFXIV, because there aren't tanks in other FF series, you can't have your enemies attack only 1 character of your party while we have the "trinity" in MMOs.
