    Um, no. Samurai who went to battle always donned full body armor. Although not the kind we know in the west. The samurai you're referring to are those who are on RnR and happened to be strolling in town with a katana in their obi. Which was one of the samurai privileges to wield a katana in a town

    yeah I am actually not a fan of this aesthetic they chose for samurai, but im gonna guess that they want to keep the shogun look for a tank probably later on, doesnt really make sense that theyd go into dungeons almost naked, when they did wear armor in battle times


    as far as monk gear goes, im thinking itll be alot like how nin was and share gear till 60. But then again, a lot of monk garb doesnt really seem to fit samurai. Theres even a ninja set from CT the fuma set that would just look very odd on a samurai...

    Well, I can sort of understand why they went for this look. Samurai served a master till their death - Normally anyway. When said samurai lose favor or privileges of their master, they become "masterless" or ronins. Which were wandering samurai with no master and this does fit a samurai with adventuring in mind. These wandering samurai were more likely to be found wearing the more traditional Japanese clothing as displayed in the trailer.
