That is only unfounded conjecture atm, assuming it was parry based is just something the player base has decided. The development team knows what parameters will be in future content, the overall structure of encounters that we will not know until release and even then after watching some one else's play through. If we had the actual know how we would be making the games, not discussing the viability of The Only Classic Far Eastern Armored FF Series class/ job That makes sense as opposed to reworking other iconic FF mainstays in to roles they never meant to fit in.

I honestly see 4.0 (or 5.0) as a possible introduction to skill trees and talent specializations freeing the the players from the armory system. However, as it stands My view is the Samurai so effortlessly fits the Tank role it almost seems comical to think otherwise.
