We Want SAM... <make it happen>

[FinalWolf]

Why shouldn't we get 4 jobs? Is it to keep our expectations low in order to not be disappointed?

Samurai, red mage, dancer and blue mage.

Precisely. Expect nothing and you shall not be disappointed.

[Balipu]

Comments about the meta are pretty pointless when these new jobs will be added alongside not only a level cap increase but a battle system overhaul as well. While the dps focus most players abide by likely won't change, individual job's placements in this meta can and probably will change.

Hey, you said something I can totally agree with. That's new. But yes, whatever battle system overhaul might entail, it is likely going to mix up things quite a bit.

Japanese fanfest prediction: Yoshi-P in a Samurai Jack t-shirt

Hm, if we have to bet I'd see it more like this

Samurai Champloo!

[Greven]

Cool, and BLU or SAM would be tank the best choices as tank I guess? What about the healer?

What do you think they intend to do with RDM?
While the western players want RDM to be anything but Healer, in Japan, RDM is only seen as a healer in all FF games. (Even in FFXI, its practically seen like BRD, in that they see its main role isnt support, but its support is highly welcomed.)

I'll completely lose my shit if healers get a sword user before the dps roles.

Because of the "Mage" tag, it makes sense to be a healer/support, You wouldn't have a warrior in the back line healing. But red mage has been seen as a fencer of sorts, it will more then likely be a healer or a caster DPS. or a melee caster, either way it will involve spell casting in some way. So those people will be dissapointed if they expect a tank or a full sword user dps.

Why, what is the fascination with a sword in particular. PLD is the the most close to a sword fighter, but they are a tank, Compared to the other weapons in the game swords are weak. it would make sense, as i said above RDM has been portrayed as a sword fencer, rapiers to be more precise. it's likely going to happen, Probably not a dps, but they will most likely utilize a sword.

I love blades in general but a lot of people have been lusting after a dps sword user for years now.

SAM should provide that fix, assuming it's a DPS. but in the form of a large Great Katana.
