Honestly, in my opinion I think they may go for the Muramasa/Demon Blade route with SAM mechanics as they expand it.

It is a popular theme for Katana theme classes to go into Demon Blades and infusing their Katana with demonic energy from the souls killed due to the legend of Masamune and Muramasa.

The Kenki Guage already sets up a good starting zone for a Muramasa/Demon Blade Guage to build up to 100% then with a certain future skill turn the Kenki Guage into a Muramasa Guage that changes the animation of each skill with increase potency to represent the Muramasa's blood lust but drains over time but can be extended as it drains to 0 by continuing to using skills that adds Kenki.

it would leave this mechanic as a Blood lust mechanic where SAM seeks to always be using skills to kill their enemies relating to the legend of Muramasa minus the part where the wield have to kill themselves if the Muramasa does not taste blood.


On another topic:

Either way SAM will be very popular as Sword DPS Jobs are a very popular Job in most RPG games. Maybe replacing or equal to Bard in popularity though that would mean 90% will be a lot of bad SAM as well
