Area for Samurai and Ninja

[Naraku_Diabolos]

Summoner is tied to the storyline because of the Primals, so it has to come first before any of the other jobs.

That's quite interesting actually. I had never even heard of that place being mentioned in the game. Though seeing how there isn't any information on it other than that being the Giantsgall weapons' origin, and it being a "Near-Eastern city-state", we can't really deduce that it may be the home for Ninja, Samurai or any other class.

My question is, what leads you to think that this might be their area? Is it because they mentioned it's Eastern, so we might be able to related with their origin from reality, or is it because since practically we have no information on this place, it give an opportunity for these two classes (or class/job) to have a guild there?

>< For all I know this place might not even make it to ARR, but there's really such little information, that it can be home to any new guild, or never even happen. And yeah, they did mention Ninja and Samurai were eventually going to happen. I'm almost sure they also said something about Red Mage.

But in all seriousness. Now I'm curious. Is there really no other information about this place in the game's lore?

There's a lot missing from the game's lore. This is why I loved how they handled it with XI that lacked some in-game explanations but still linked. (Vanadiel Tribune, A lore book released prior to WotG iirc.)

Yoshi-P made an example that used red mage in the armory system but it wasn't a confirmation just an explanation of the expansion of the system and a reason it was not being abandoned for straight job system. I believe it was in the E3 interview and not sure if it was the translator but some one made the disclaimer that it was for the sake of explanation unlike the ninja and samurai reference.

I hope they put in these 2 classes eventually...been lookin forward to it Also, nice find OP...seems like a perfect place for the classes

i think it was a live letter that he said to look forward to nin/sam the hard part is to introduce things and for it to make sense in the game's lore ..Yoshi-P loves good story telling , as example Fernehalwes recently stated there are good reasons why highlander women weren't around and it all will be explained etc.

I just hope that, whatever they do with ninja/samurai, they do give them some nice background - hopefully an area (a real area) of origin, too - and not pull off another "far east" like in XI.

I don't doubt that SE will add Samurai and Ninja to the game, I just hope they take some artistic licenses with SAM/NIN equipment.

The FFXI AFs looked too "authentic" for my taste but later additions like the Hachiman equipment looked alot better.

So you dislike traditional design but like the more non-traditional generally western style?

Grand idea! Very intriguing find!
