After seeing RDM in action, I already can't wait for stormblood ><
I can't imagine how cute my Lalafell is going to look with RDM job set

I wonder if they are going to release other job as well?

[Fevelle]

At least one more job besides Red Mage is coming for sure. I wish they'd release 3. one for each role, but oh well...

[skyfox]

So RDM and dancer? what is the 3rd one??

Not sure if it's gonna be dancer or if they're gonna release 3 jobs...

RDM and SAM, pending official announcement of the latter and any unlikely third.

Cool so RDM: DPS SAM: Tank and dancer is healer i suppose?

RDM is a Caster, SAM is either a Tank or a DPS, and DNC doesn't exist.

There is no guarantee or requirement that we have 3 jobs, nor do they necessarily need to include a Tank or Healer at all. We'll know in twenty days, though.

People are getting BLU from that because of the whole *man is bitten by spider, gains powers of spider* theme fitting blue mage pretty spot on.

Samurai was acknowledged as something people wanted, but not guaranteed for the expansion. People still made the reach with the spider man thing, because the director for the original film was Sam Raimi, which sounds phonetically similar to Samurai if you say it really fast

Given that SAM files are in the game and BLU files are not, it would seem the folks who picked up on the nearly identical way Sam Raimi is written in katakana to the job Samurai weren't reaching so hard after all.

I don't agree with this. The files having SAM in them is not proof of anything really. Especially considering that SAM had been intended to be put in instead of DRK, but they decided against it because they had just released NIN not long before.

Yoshi-P's hints are much more direct. DRK was Batman... the Dark Knight. MCH was 007. RDM was the Scarlet Witch.

So the meaning behind the Spiderman shirt is going to be much more direct than an obscure reference to the director of a few movies involving Spiderman, IMO. BLU seems much more likely, especially considering the New Year's message and the fact that a hero who is bitten by a spider gains that spider's powers. Something that is much more direct a reference.

Wasn't just the director their is an actual Samarui Spiderman, also in Japan they have a competition called Samurai fighting spiders. Then we have the DAT files which appeared last patch.

And Yoshi wasn't wearing the Samurai version of Spiderman on his shirt. I do think Samurai will be added this expansion, I just don't see Spiderman being a reference to it.

However, let's try this from another angle...

What super hero would you use to drop an -obvious- hint referencing Blue Mage, if not Spiderman? I'm curious what the alternatives are, since Samurai's alternatives get brought up plenty enough.
