2nd STORMBLOOD Job revealed

Don't forget he once said RDM wouldn't be added because it wouldn't fit into the game with the existing Role System, that it'd break the spirit of the class.

He said it would be different from what you traditionally saw as Red Mage, not that it wouldn't be added.

What if the dev team are going to mesh Samurai and Blue Mage together? Tachi: 1000 needles anyone? Would make for a unique twist on both jobs at the same time.

Because that would be a significant waste of 2 iconic Final fantasy jobs that on their own can make for strong marketing pull as separate jobs rather than some wonky amalgamation. They have always been focused on delivery of Final fantasy nostalgia, and mashing two iconic jobs together (for absolutely no logical reason) is a terrible idea.

Doesn't even have to be a red herring. This is something he said ages ago, and he may have since thought of a solution, or simply changed his mind about it. Folks change their minds all the time, and Yoshi P in particular has a few rather infamous flip flops under his belt already. ("Player housing will be separate from FC housing and much more affordable," anyone?)

Except he literally said pretty much the exact same thing about Blue Mage during the second day of the JP fanfest last month, during his Naoki's Room segment. So if they are implementing it next, it's either going to be as he described it as a terrible idea of a non-group content monster ability collecting mini game essentially, or he just straight up lied on stage 2 months before it's reveal.

This isn't a hint towards a job at all, merely the folder for his work on the Square Enix game Samurai Rising, of which he did all the music for.
