We shouldnt forget that unlike when Ninja was released:

- Players are able to level the current classes to level 70.
- New Samurai's and Red Mages will be able to do Palace of the Dead. Palace of the Dead gives alot of experience points and players do not need any healers or tanks to clear 1-100 when doing the content as a group. The biggest issue when Ninja was released, was that doing Dungeons gave alot more experience points then FATES, since Ninja is a DPS class and DPS needed to wait the longest, queue took ages, so players decided to do FATES.

Personaly, I am glad that SE went with the cloth type Samurai and not the heavy armoured one. I like from what I have seen and while its too soon to judge right now, I am hyped and can not wait to give my Samurai a go when Stormblood releases.
