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

MNK is the headliner for Stormblood at it has been in the game since launch.

Oh I meant headliner as in a new job. How DRK was for HW, and RDM is for SB.

Except Heavensward was the headliner for Heavensward. There wasn't a singular job added in heavensward that was overly used in any marketing or representation. In fact arguably Machinist would be the one (if there was one) considering Yoshida made appearances dressed as one on a few occasions.

New jobs are a selling point for the expansion but they're hardly anything close to something considered a headliner. And in fact, the jobs the expansion's focused on were Dragoon for Heavensward and now Monk for Stormblood. Used in the cgi trailer and to represent our characters in promo material (the derplander). So the same can be done if we ever go Othard with Samurai no matter when it was added.

Also you assume we are ever going to Othard. FFXI went through how many expansion's before they ever stepped foot in the far east? And when they finally did in their last chapter, it was in an incredibly restrictive way and not a full fledged location.

The same will likely happen here, there's so many places we are far more likely to go that are much closer to Eorzea that it will be a very very long time before we are potentially heading to othard.

Well, if you think about it, DRG was the focus for Heavensward, even though it existed before. MNK will be the focus for Stormblood even if it existed before.
So, by that logic, SAM could exist before the Doma expansion and still be the focus.

As for the poster new job, we still have a long list of them...DNC, BST, BLU...

Or Ninja could be the poster job for an Othard expansion. Or SE could put two jobs up there as the poster jobs; Ninja -and- Samurai. Or neither could be the poster job.

Anyways, given all the latest things found in game and such, I'm starting to wonder if the Spiderman Shirt -will- reference Samurai. There are far better shirts for it. Up until now all the shirts have been very straightforward, but Spiderman = Samurai is a leap of logic.

Yea I agree Rhaja, if they used both those jobs for 4.0 I don't see any headliner for 5.0.

And ya I meant othard^^ was hoping to go there someday...hm.

Snip.

+ Screw how long it takes us to possible go to Othard (like you mentioned). Most people who say it would be boring don't actually mean that, they just don't want Samurai.

I get it. Some people aren't fans of SAM, but it's such a highly requested job... as for selling points for other expansion's? There's plenty of more jobs to cover to sell the game COUGH COUGH GUNSWORD COUGH COUGH. And then people say DRK was the selling point for HW. Those people forget a gun job was also highly requested so getting 2 highly requested jobs is no different then HW.

Pretty sure Gunblade/ gunsword is coming in 5.0 or 6.0 where we go to garland - The question is what kind of job will it be.........

What if SAM has a gunblade-like katana already? Think of Raiden from the MGS series or something.

I was thinking it could be the whole Samurai Spiderman thing but, since there have been so many theories tossed around, I can't say it wouldn't exactly be bad to know which one was correct in the end. At any rate; knowing or not (about what was the real meaning behind the shirt), I'd be happy about SAM regardless

I honestly have no clue what the spiderman/samurai correlation is, cause I cannot get behind that Sam Raimi bs lol. I will not accept that.
