RDM in action... Can't wait!

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.

The Samurai Spiderman is just a figure made by Bandai. They made a Samurai Batman too.

The festival you are referring to in Japan is one of making Samurai spiders (a type of real life spider) fight. Zero reference to Spiderman.

The files don't mean anything, and are ridiculously suspicious that they would be added in 3.5.


As I said, Yoshi-P's shirts have always been very direct, so it makes very little sense for him to make an extremely obscure reference.
