Samurai

[KaiKatzchen]

If I remember correctly they said something along the lines of - they planned on adding it as the new tank job in 3.0 but they didn't want to release to eastern inspired jobs (because of Ninja) back to back, so they switched it out and brought in Dark Knight and made it the new tank instead.

They then (I believe) said they would like to see it come out at some point, but had no established date for when they would because it would have to fit along with the story/expansion/whatever... So at the moment your answer would be: We don't know lol

Yoshida have said too that he don't see the samurai as tank anymore
plus like i have said before, while the 2nd anniversary event, when you was going back into the dev room, Yoshida pnj was talking of the Samurai and Red mage

I think an interesting way to implement Samurai would be to bond it with Blue Mage in a Tank/DPS Hybrid learning Monster Skills via Job Quests. We really need a 4th tank and healer job so we can officially Ballence out the Tank/Healer/DPS ratio back to 1/1/2.

oh please no, i feel the bluemage will be one of the most complicate jobs to add, soo far every jobs have only one role... bring an hybrid that will be as good than a specialist will simply be a pain.
