Samurai Suggestion

[DamianFatale]

Make it a base class going from Samurai to Shogun, and Ronin. One would be tank, the other would be dps. A lot of people want Samurai to be tank, and a lot of people want it to be DPS. I think it would do well as both! Maybe the Shogun could lean towards honor and glory, while the Ronin struggle with being completely independent. In my eyes there's more than just one type of Samurai, and i'd like to see FFXIV explore that. Maybe the Ronin are more supportive of Ala Mhigans, and maybe the Shogun are more supportive of saving Othard. The possibilities are endless. Think about it.

Though the concept would be interesting, I think SE is done with branching jobs unless they add something skill trees by the time Samurai is implemented.
Regardless of what they do, if Samurai ends up being a tank, I want it to be a counter tank, much like how Blademaster works in another SE game: Bravely Default. To me, that is the best way to implement Samurai as tank.

I really don't want them to be done with base classes. You shouldn't just get your final job every time, you should earn it.

they would have to put in more work to make 2 different stories plus the base job story and balancing would be a pain in the ass

Balancing is not a pain.
It's extremely simple.
SE has a very VERY low complexity compared to other games out there, and those too don't have that many issues with balance.

And I'm talking about how stats interact, how the damage formula ends up looking like, etc.

"hard to balance" is the one excuse I do not accept from SE.

I have been asked to make a suggestion on my friend's part. I think it's a great one. When we're doing quests of any kind on a max level job, on some where you would get XP and some gil, the XP symbol it's just a 0 because of being maxed, why not have it give increased gil instead. And even quest's that give a max character XP, it just really goes to waste. Why can't we have an option for that XP to be assigned to a different class so it's not for nothing or yes, a gil option. Nothing crazy, but maybe like 5-20k. Might even hinder RMT's? I know it would be a nice change, but just wondering how it would actually work?

Think on it please SE.

actually to make this class all you need to do is make it like Warrior could just change a few animations and skills but all in all dps tank class.

[DamianFatale]

How about instead of gil, you get extra Free Company points. It would encourage people to level up to 60, and be valued for it. The more they would fight at 60, the faster free companies could level up, or maintain actions.

For Samurai
Check Final Fantasy X-2 - Samurai Dresssphere as a reference
There are a lot of abilities that are too cool and would be perfect for a tanking class
