It also has a limit to how many veriation they can have before it is just a repeat of the samething with just slight change such as how Dark Knight ended up being a damage mitigation Job like Paladin while warrior remains it own gameplay as a HP focused Tank.

Hammer also has been used by 2 well known Jobs being Berserker and Viking in FF games
Sure it's limiting, but the game isn't going to add tank jobs all the time. One per expansion is still something like 1 every 2 years. There's plenty of options for slashing damage before "running out". Sometimes limits have to be in place to ease development.

And Viking and Berserker? Lmao. You mean both those things they combined into what we have as a Warrior? Didn't you also say you didn't want tanks to just be "Knights in shiny armor!", but you'd want Viking and Berserker that look exactly like what we have with Warrior right now? And both of those are totally more requested/popular than Samurai, right...?
