SAMURAI SHOWDOWN

[silentwindfr]

with an expansion they can change everything, that the point of an expansion generally, add new mechanic that the current game can't support.

let's take one second and say that red mage will be a tank, i don't say it must or will happend but just give an example, using a spell for enhance himself for defend against enemy and enhance him attack for generate more damage (work nice with the En- of the red mage this by the way). they decide to add a new type of armor for the melee caster, at that moment it have no interest, but there come later a new expansion with the blue mage and some other caster melee that will need this armor.

yes actually a caster tank seems weird, but if we only look to the past we will not progress that the point.

and one more time Shippuu your idea of the sam is only a war with a different mechanic for replace the rage and that use a katana... *shrugs*

ps: add a tank jobs physical wearing a heavy armor and using another slash weapon will never arrive can we stop to beat the dead horse it become gross.

You don't have the faintest clue of the ideas I have for Samurai as a tank or dps or anything else. So don't even begin to say I just want it do be WAR.

You have time and time again however shown how narrow minded you are when it comes to Samurai that it could only be a dps.

A heavy armor wearing tank is the most plausible option if they're going to add a tank, it requires the least amount of extra development work and the least amount of issues disrupting balance.

While this is true, it's exactly why I don't want something like that... Ideally, if I'm getting a new expansion with new Jobs, I want those things to actually be new... Another physical slashing tank wearing Fending is the easiest thing to produce, but it's also something I've already got three of, so I have very little interest in having a forth... A mage based tank would be new, we currently have nothing like that in the game, the fact that it would require more work from the developers means little to me considering I'm a paying consumer... I'm paying for their product, and if they're not going to offer variety, instead opting to cookie cutter their way through future content, I'll start reconsidering that... The state of dungeons is bad enough...

I mean, after what the developers did with Bard and Machinist I'm fully aware that new Jobs are probably going to be handled in the cheapest way possible, rather than anything that offers true variety. Various new content gives some hope that the developers aren't just planning to use the same template for the rest of the games life, but I'm still fully expecting new Jobs to be fairly lackluster. Ideally though? Ideally I'd like all the money from subscriptions and the cash shop to stop going into FFXV/FFVII and to start being put back into XIV to give us some decent variety of content... Looking at Jobs like Bard and Summoner, I have no expectations that they'll deliver what I want from future Jobs, but I'm allowed to voice hopes for such things, no?
