    Who is the Samurai from the trailer?

    My theory is that he is the Warrior of Darkness. The theory largely comes from this picture (apologies for the meme format): https://scontent.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0...fb&oe=5926E934

    He looks a LOT like the midlander stand in for our character the Warrior of Light. But we already know the Warrior of Light is training as a monk, not a samurai, and he has a different haircut altogether. The only other person I know who looks like the midlander stand in is the Warrior of Darkness.

    I know how the Warrior of Darkness questline ended in 3.x, but would there still be a possibility of him returning? And if he did, would he too take up a new job whenever the opportunity rises? It'd be interesting to see him as more of a rival than an enemy, but that is just wishing on my part.

    It was rather implicit that, in returning to the First Shard, the Warrior(s) of Darkness died for good. As little more than disembodied aetherial spirits, they essentially returned to what was left of the First's Lifestream.

    It's possible, of course, but the SAM's haircut doesn't match Darklander's either. I'd wager he's new, assuming he has any presence in the story at all.

    Yeah, I didn't take into account that implication. My reasoning mainly relies on two ideas. He looks a lot like an older version of the stand in Warrior of Light, and the idea that like the Warrior of Light learns new fighting styles over time, and adjusts his job and ages in the same regard.

    Warrior of Light shouldn't be necessary with one job. Since it's Ala Mhigo/Othard expansion, WoL is taking two jobs corresponding to each region.

    The trailer makes it seem like the scene where the Warrior of Light is dueling the red robed woman is happening concurrently or at least very close to each other in time. Them simply having him represent two different jobs could be an explanation, but I don't know if they'd really make our stand in split jobs on what is the "Monk Expansion".

    "Monk expansion" is community speculation though which was born before Othard part was shown on fanfest.

    In the NA Keynote, I could swear Yoshi P said explicitly "Where Heavensward was the Dragoon expansion, Stormblood is the Monk expansion." I can't do the research while at work though, I apologize.

    No need, I remember that. Still I always take Yoshi's words with grain of salt. (Like Monk and Samurai expac is still Monk expac).
