Samurai & Red Mage cross skills

[Roegadyn_Bear]

Red Mage is going to be an absolute disaster for them regardless of how they implement it, due to the nature of Red Mages and the fact people are going to be upset if they're not X or Y.

How do you guys absolutely know that red mage and samurai are indeed coming. Where did square-enix say this? I have yet to see them say anything of the like. So if you guys can link where they said this I'd appreciate it.

In the Rising event (the last anniversary event we had) Samurai and Red Mage (positive on the former, pretty sure on the latter) were named specifically, so the potential for them appearing is higher than other jobs. Blue mage was also referenced in unnamed NPC interactions ("Red!" "No, Blue!" or something).

I don't have any links on-hand, but I remember in many posts from even before HW came out with info that the only reason we don't have Samurai right now is because they were deciding between it and Dark Knight (which made the cut). To many this points to Samurai being highly likely to come with 4.0. If there is more actual info on this I do not know.

Red Mage I believe was also discussed by devs, and as said in some other threads (like the one about general speculation of future jobs I believe), Red Mage is the only original FF job not yet in this game. If we continue to get three jobs per xpac Red Mage also has a good chance of being added in the next one.

This added with the heavy hinting at the Rising event where Yoshi-P directly name dropped Samurai and two of the devs were arguing over which comes first, Red or Blue.

I already regretted missing the Rising Event, now I am even more. Guess the question I have no is whether that means its either Red OR Blue, or if it just means which one they want to work on first and both are (presumbably) coming in 4.0 alongside SAM.

Really the rising event tells you we are definitely going to get red mage and samurai. Then I guess I should say that because the little ladies day event talked about dancers we will definitely be getting dancer right. Wrong! Just because an event talks about some job class doesn't mean we will be getting that job class. Sorry to say.

The crossclass skills of future jobs are pretty impossible to guess.

3 Rogue skills (Shade Shift, Goad and Death Blossom) are crossclassible but no job can currently use them.
4.0 could bring in a complete rebalancing of the crossclass skill system.
We do not know which roles the future jobs will have and what equipment they will use. We can't even seriously guess at what mechanics they will use.

The Rising was different. We were told before hand that hints about future content would be in it.

exept the rising event this time was the npc of the dev team in the dev room... and if you want a proof:



point to note, every jobs named by yoshida are the one that did come out... so far Yoshida in all the interview did talk of the gunner class (machinist), ninja (for the scout class), the dark knight, the red mage and the samurai... no other jobs was really talk about by yoshida.

It doesnt matter what they do. There will be alot of angry ppl once redmage is released. Please look forward to it.
Samurai should be a deeps just like dark knight should of been. Something else should have been a tank... like a berserker or something (ffv Great hammer weilder). With this dev team wanting to keep everything different from ffxi, in before samurai weilds Tenseiga and you attack people with it to heal/revive them
