So... that spiderman shirt... (new job tease)

Wait a minute... Samurai in Japanese is 侍. If you pay attention to the kanji, you can see it's made up of ⺅(Person), 寸(A measurement length), 土(Earth). Who is a person who measures the Earth? A Calculator! Can't believe all the people fell for the red herring of Samurai. The new job is obviously Calculator.

He specifically mentioned liking sam raimi.

if the hint was bad, no one would've figured it out. people figured it out immediately.

ipso facto sam raimi as samurai was a good hint.

Yawn, this whole expansion seems so dull - at least what they've shown so far.

DPS players get two new jobs to play with, tanks and healers get nothing. No new race. No new character customization options. We're gonna be right back in the same 8-person and 24-person raid cycles we've always had, grinding tomes for gear that last 3 months, AFKing in the new Asian-themed city.

Yep, and that's why we'll be AFKing in the new city, because there won't be anything to do on these huge tracts of land.

they didn't reveal any new information about the only thing i care about: returning to ivalice.

Right, but isn't that just the new 24-man raid? Or, am I mixing that up with something else?

Agreed. Nothing about it feels or looks like "true to FF" like Yoshida said it would. I was expecting classic FF feel, castles and stuff like in the traditional FF games. Well, my hype is zero now lol. I'm not disappointed, just no real interest in it.

The only Asian stuff I recall in older FF is Yuffies village, and that was a small portion of the game.

Housing area - no interest. Sticking with my LB mansion.

Meh, what a bummer...well, I hope there is a LOT of new content with longevity and a really revamped battle system that puts the 1.23b one to shame.

[Domeric]

I think it is.

Samurai added, that's not a surprise, there was no way that wasn't going to be added this expansion.
I am quite disappointed in Yoshi P for the Sam Raimi connection to the shirt though. That is a major stretch compared to past shirt hints. Red Mage couldn't have been more obvious, nor Dark Knight. A better choice for Samurai would've been The Silver Samurai.



That said, quite glad we finally got Samurai in. It was over due.
