There were no doubt very chivalrous or honorable samurai, like we see in movies or read about in stories, but there were absolutely very corrupt ones. They were human, after all. The same can be said for European Knights. So... I mean, a sword spilling innocent and dishonorable blood isn't exactly a farfetched idea for the "honorable" samurai class. Nobunaga is a pretty common go-to, though his extremely evil portrayal in modern stuff isn't exactly historically justified. His deeds were great, horrific in some cases (like the slaughtering of women and children), but great.

Hell, my mention of the ronin and common manipulation of history in fiction is actually enough of a reason to argue for a DPS label lol. Unless this game is trying to be factitious in recreating point for point historical themes, they don't exactly have to follow IRL history. Truth be told, the game would be boring as **** if I had to sit through history class again.
Power corrupts, this is true for all people of all time periods of all ethnic back grounds. I was addressing the concept of both Bushido and Chivalry and the fantasy of adhering to those values to truly earn the name of Knight and Samurai. In this game we are Warriors of Light we are heroes, no class, no job in this game is depicted as corrupt because we as the players are depicted as paragons of those tenets.

Once again I say "In wanting to play the fantasy of a Samurai, You want to cut out a Samurai's role in not only real world history but established fantasy aswell", remember this is Final Fantasy by choosing to "unlock" those jobs we live out the fantasy of being those paragons of those virtues.
