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

[Dualblade]

I'd take the shirt more as being a bit too applicable to multiple jobs and thus maybe not the best choice. But many things are only seen as such in hindsight, and of course its possible they did it on purpose because they knew most of the base was already expecting Samurai. Best way to still make it surprising is to be pretty vague about it with something that otherwise has been a good indicator of what is coming next.

@Alacran:
The New Year's poem mentions both blue and red and the fight between them as a central theme in all 4 languages, including Japanese. That said, those poems have ALWAYS been about the story alone and never once hinted on jobs, so I find it incredibly far-reaching to use that as an argument for bluemage.

More so when you take into account the "blue" it mentions is Azure, which is used for Estinien/the PC. The Azure Dragoon and all that.
