@Naoki Yoshida-> Make Samurai a Tank class!

[Katana190]

I've got good news for you.

I don't see the point in your comment or the twisting of my words. I really don't mind if it uses a 2-handed Katana, and honestly not the point of my comment anyways, was just a plus I decided to put in.
Anyways if you want to make a point about it then why not.

First off, Zenos to me is clearly using Katana's, more then one. The Garleans have had a track record of borrowing weapons and job assets to form their own kind of class.

First we had Nero who uses MRD animations but uses a GunHammer instead. Then you have Regula van Hydrus who uses a 2-Handed Gun-Greatsword. And now from the looks of it, Zenos using a Revolver Scabbard of sorts, I'm thinking he's going to borrow assets from SAM.

Also 1 Great Katana already exist in the game, which is the DRK Law one, it's even stated in the Lore Book. Anyways I don't really want to argue this because at the end of the day I don't really mind what weapon they use, I just like the aesthetics of SAM in general, like stated.

But I'm clearly a Pro SAM Tank, that isn't a Tank. And I clearly state about if it was a DPS I would laugh at them for getting another dual wielding DPS even if it was historical. I don't see the point your trying to make.
Fair enough though, if it's a DPS I can see the reason for it using a 2-Handed Katana, I'll admit, but if it turns out to be a Tank I would like to avoid that choice of weaponry as we already have 2, 2 Hander Tanks.

Even if they're a Tank I'd much rather they used a shorter blade than, say, DRK. A sword doesn't have to be 8 feet long to be held with two hands, and you certainly don't need to dual wield everything that isn't two-handed.

That's how you want to vision SAM, and I have my own vision of SAM. But I'm open to whatever, as long as it uses Katana's (naturally) Heck, it could have multiple blades like Zenos but only use 1 at a time, and the other(s) are only used on certain skills or stances.
Like I said, idm at the end of the day, as long as we get the job.

I'm a big fan of his concept though!

I agree, while I see a dual wielding SAM tank as a possibility if they want to really differentiate it from the other tanks, I would much rather see them use a normal sized katana, especially in combination with it's saya/scabbard. Using the two parts in combination would certainly create a different visual appeal than the large 2H greatswords of Dark Knight. Especially since we've seen them willing to do such things with AST having their card holder, MCH with their aetherotransformer, and now RDM with it's magic focus.

Exactly! It would be really interesting to see what they do, seeing their take on MCH, AST and now RDM with it's Crystal Medium. I'm really anticipating what they do with SAM's weaponry!
