    Does anyone else feel dissatisfied with Samurai after the Live Letter XXXVI video?

    After first watching the Samurai job announcement trailer during EU fest, I kind of felt indifferent about Samurai as a whole based on the way it was presented, but I decided to just wait patiently until I saw more of the job class because more than likely a lot of its more interesting abilities hadn't been shown off yet. However, after seeing the Live letter video showing off samurai's main ability rotation, I was kind of just left with an underwhelmed feeling in comparison to all the other job classes.

    Does anyone else feel this way? I really feel like many of the abilities are stale, uncreative, and in some cases look pretty unfinished and sometimes pixelated. I really feel like this job just seems like it is lacking much of the "Fantasy" aspect that this game is intended to bring. When I see the current samurai, it looks mostly just like a real life Samurai, which may have been intended.

    Although I may sound like a five year old in saying, I'd really like more flashiness within the class as least in the future when we go up to lvl 80 and beyond. More swift movement, maybe some teleportation, afterimage clones from fast movements, flips, and simply just more eye catching animations.

    Here's a good example:
    In FFXI tenzen uses an ability called Amatsu: Tsukikage on Ramuh, which you can see at 2:27 in the following video. It is a series of slashes around the enemy while teleporting.
