GMERC, Yes they did, along with Beast Master, dancer, heck even chemist which can be linked to Spider man just as easily as Samurai. However blue mage has been an iconic class that has appeared in nearly all final fantasy related games in one form or another. Blue Mage and Blue magic is Iconic and Unique to Final Fantasy, perhaps one of their most original classes. My point is Samurai is not a shoe in and that shirt could equally be another possible job.
