And no, they don't have a history of trolling people in the data files.
Im just repeating what I heard from reddit regarding the trolling with relic icons. However why on earth would they put in the red mage and sam files now six months early when they know about data mining. Yoshida has specifically spoken out against data mining in live letters and interviews and how he wants them to stop. So why would they put this info on a big spoiler in a patch 6 months early from the expansion and 1 month early from the German Fan festival knowing that every patch will be mined for even the tiniest info or upcoming spoilers?

Personally it doesn't make sense nor the Sam Raimi samurai theory. Where did you get this info that Red mage comes from Sharlaya? Is it just because its a mage? Personally I think some people want Samurai so badly that they don't even want to entertain the idea that it could be something different.
