Samurai relesing sooner then we think?

[Yuki_Tokita]

Yoshida has a bad(good) habit of saying things he shouldn't be saying. During the PAX conference, if any of you where paying attention. Yoshida stated that the development team had to choose between DRK or SAM when creating a new job for Heavensward. Considering that they had to narrow it down to just those two jobs, that means they where at least taking Samurai seriously as a potential job on the drawing board. With the story the way it is, its already possible to fit Samurai in with the lore. The Doma refugees could be the quest givers, just like they where with Ninja.

Anyone think Samurai will be the next job to be released?

Developing them both and choosing between the two also means that Samurai was intended to fill the same role as Dark Knight, as in a 2H Sword wielding tank class. In which case why would SE release Samurai next when they just put out another class with the same role.

If you look at class variation in the game post heavensward, I think it much more likely the next new class would be a caster type dps. probably Red Mage.

Hmm, I guess there was some silver lining in the statement. I initially just broke my face when I heard it lol.

[Koenignovi]

I think this is a good possibility. They will probably introduce it sometime after 3.0, after they monitor how the three new jobs take to the community.

[Brightshadow]

Yes but probably when we go to doma they do have to keep some things for us in doma can't have everything from doma unlockable in eorzea.

It could be possible, but like it was also stated during the conference it could take another year before we see it.

I wouldn't be surprised if we never get the Samurai job. My reasoning for this is because we also thought musketeer would be coming since 1.0, due to the "musketeer's guild" existing (and still exists). Do we have a musketeer after 3+ years? No, they throw 5 other jobs at us over the course of this time, instead. There may be more jobs we thought they were going to implement, but I can't think of them off the top of my head, lol.

In any case, I'm sure they will give us a completely different job than Samurai after these new jobs release, just for variety. But who knows? Well ...yes ...Yoshi-P knows, but you understand what I'm saying.

Nope, after ninja the Devs felt we needed a break from Japanese themed jobs. I dont think we'll see SAM anytime soon. (takes about a year to make this stuff up) If and when we do see SAM, I hope its a DPS. We really dont have a DPS that fights with a sword in this game (daggers for ninjas are knives, not swords). A SAM or Red Mage type dps would be a nice thing to see.

[Kosmos992k]

A sword based DPS would be nice to see.

One thing that keeps popping up in my head when people speculate on whether we'll get this, that or the other new class/job/feature in Heavensward is this;

Why would we assume that Yoshida or anyone else in the team will reveal all the new features included in the expansion?

What if there is another job or two that were not mentioned, but are a surprise for us when we get into it? what if there are additional areas that were not in the preview that are there when we get there? I can't believe that they would by any means tell us everything about Heavesward at this early stage, and even close to release I would imagine that there will be some big surprises held back for us to discover in-game.

If you look at class variation in the game post heavensward, I think it much more likely the next new class would be a caster type dps. probably Red Mage.

We'll have 2 ranged physical DPS, 2 ranged magical DPS, 3 melee physical DPS. I think, looking at it this way, it's more likely that we'll get a first melee magical DPS or a fourth melee physical than a third ranged magical. Class variation by itself doesn't suggest that magical ranged is any more likely than physical ranged.
