Warrior Confirmed during Live letter.

[Zarvlad]

Yoshi-P Confirmed that the one job not announced was Warrior, and they shown some concept art. This one's for us Marauders.

Q: Isn't it about time for you to introduce all the jobs that will be implemented in patch 1.21?
A: There is one last job that has not been introduced yet. So far, I have introduced Paladin, White Mage, Black Mage, Dragoon, Monk and Bard but the very last job left to be announced is… Warrior!

Now the big question: Will it focus on Offesne? Defense? Both?

I would bet my chips on Offense, like most of the Warrior Jobs in the FF canon, but who knows they may want to make it hybrid, having an ability like defender, but for offense.

I'm in love.

I'm digging the one-handed axe. Would be cool if they could be the class to dual wield.

I took the quote to more reference Dark Knight...Not sure you can interpret it as warrior. Plus to me, that looks like SAM or BST. Maybe a pet job?

They said "Senshi" when talking about this bit, which is Warrior. No interpretation or speculation to be done, it was quite clear.

According the EN twitter the quote is:

"There is one job that has yet to be announced...What we have announced so far is paladin, white mage, black mage, dragoon, monk and bard. Last, here is a warrior image!"

To me, why would they say it hasn't been announced and then announce it. Plus, they say warrior image, which again, to me, seems to be warrior as a general term. So I am under the belief it is Dark Knight, Samurai, or a Beastmaster type job. Although I have always assumed it would be Warrior, so won't be surprised if it is.

You are assuming right, so don't be surprised. Senshi (戦士）always been the reference as a job, since Final Fantasy 1 and that's what they meant in this live letter. Sorry to burst your bubble, but they didn't said Warrior as a general term in this specific case, so Beastmaster, Dark Knight and even less Samurai (be sure they will show us actual oriental armor and katanas for this) are not coming as a Marauder job...for now.

You glossed over the fact that they say they haven't announced it yet but then, supposedly, go on to announce it. Why wouldn't they announce it? It seems one of the given linkages? To me, it seems they are hiding something.

I have a master's degree thanks. I am not a Dark Knight supporter or anything, hence my comment saying I don't really care which job it is. However, it seemed from the tweet that they were hiding something and Dark Knight has received a lot of buzz on the forums. I also mentioned other jobs in that quote.

P.S. Did you read the tweet?

[Zarvlad]

I did read the tweet, but I also listened to the words of Yoshida which I was able to understand as I do have a knowledge of the Japanese language. He did present us the Warrior as a job, not a generic fighting job. No need to worry about them hiding something from us.

They are not.

What is confusing is actually something lost in translation. They should have wrote "the warrior" instead of "a warrior" to be more clear. No, In japanese there no pronoun, hence the mixup.

As a holder of a master degree, I'm sure you can be quite rational when times requires it. Now is such a time.

Ahh name calling. The solution to this world's ill.....right?

Dark Knight in XI was amazing, but too many people were more about looking cool and using "Dark" stuff then actually caring about playing the job. I've seen Taru DRK outdammage Elvaan samurais. That class was scary, just required some thought and skills.
