Area for Samurai and Ninja

[lolodin]

Hello folks,

I recently came across some info of the far east country Radz-at-Han http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Radz-at-Han
and i was wondering if you guys think they would use this like they did in ffxi?

it would be very interesting if they took this direction..

I'm not sure if samurai and ninja is in the devs radar right now. I know that they are interested in summoner and possibly musketeer. But I've heard nothing of ninja and samurai.

I forgot which live letter it was but they discussed musketeer ninja and samurai but of course summoner comes first before either of those three i am talkin after all that of course

Oh yeah I think I remember that live letter then. If they add ninja and samurai I would imagine that ninja would be the first class and the samurai would be the extension to the ninja class.

I'm just saying the majority of the player-base would rather have Samurai rather than Musketeer, regardless of the current course SE is taking. Name another MMO that has Samurai as a class? Not to mention it's former popularity in FFXI. Excuse my fanboying.

Well there is samurai warriors but that is F2P and it didn't look as good as ff11's use of samurai...

What's the reasoning behind a ninja class having a samurai job? In popular lore (which the FFXI samurai is based on) samurai and ninja are pretty much opposites

They have mentioned they were looking into adding more popular FF jobs, including ninja and samurai, and they've also said they were looking into how to add them, and whether it's doable to have multiple jobs per class. If they go with multiple jobs per class, samurai would be a job for either warrior (very likely) or archer (not very likely, but historically more correct ), ninja would have to be a job for maybe a rogue class. Rogue class could also get thief as job.

That's all just speculation of course, and we'll have to wait until they actually start implementing more new jobs before we know anything. We're already getting summoner, and I believe musketeer is a given to be the next new class/job considering there's already content for musketeer, or at least, there was content for musketeer in 1.0

Yes that would be if they decide to extend the job ranks even further... If they don't decide to then I would think they would have ninja extend to samurai since they could relate the story of the extension quests with ninja and samurai together... plus it is not the first time they had one class extend to a non-similar class.

In one of the live letters someone was asking if we would see the return of weapons such as the Masamune and Excalibur due to them being such iconic weapons in the Final Fantasy series, Yoshi P himself replied saying they would return when they introduce Samurai and Ninja. So it isn't a matter if, as much as WHEN!

Side note... PLS BRING BACK NORG! ; ;

These two jobs were mentioned specifically in a question to the producer about masamune. This was specifically mentioned in the live panel for the anniversary event. He said that they dont want to implement that weapon until there is a samurai and/or ninja class that can actually do it justice.

Yoshi-P talked about to fulfill made promises. And musketeer is one of this promises since the musketeer guild is in Limsa.
And don't expect the FF XIV Samurai would be the same as the FF XI Samurai ^^
