Red Mage vs Samurai

[SeriousxSarcasm]

I doubt I'll be switching my main, but I'll definitely give Samurai a try. Don't have a melee leveled yet, so why not? RDM looks too much like a BRD clone, so the interest sorta died there lol.

Lol, just because of the hat? Because skillwise it looks anything but a clone with the chain-spells, giant explosions and dashing, thrusting and leaping back. xP

Anyway, to stay on topic, I've been hoping very much for a Samurai melee dps and got just that, so I'll definitely start SB as one. I main Dragoon and love melee DPS with giant single-blow, heavy hits (loved Gladiator in Aion too for that reason), but also nimble multi-hit attacks like NIN. The Iaijutsu shown in the gameplay vid seems to be exactly that combined with some combination system like on ninja (though perhaps linked to attacks used rather than seperate skills like mudra's).

Pretty much. XD And just the general aesthetic. It looks too "nancy-prancy french noble" for my tastes LOL. I know it's superficial to get hung up on, but it's just not something that hyped me up when I saw it. :/ Plus, I've already got a caster, so it seems silly to add another to my repertoire when I could maybe fall in love with a melee class finally.
