Area for Samurai and Ninja

Yoshi-P talked about to fulfill made promises. And musketeer is one of this promises since the musketeer guild is in Limsa.

Exactly, as it stands right now musketeers have a guild, lore, setting, etc etc behind it the only thing is that it isn't physically in the game for players to use. Samurai & ninja currently have no guild, lore, setting etc Etc behind them in 1.0 SE from a technical stand point would add musketeers first since its already has more work done to it while Sam &. Ninja would have to be made from the ground up needing setting, guild, lore, story, etc etc.

Nice find OP. Ninja and Samurai need to have a proper setting and background before implementation. A far eastern city from an expansion pack with new jobs, and more new areas to explore will be perfect after ARR.

Samurai shouldn't branch from Ninja. They're from different worlds with different rules. One is a cold blooded assassin and the other is a noble warrior.

I'd also like a traditional Japanese like look with these armors for Samurai.

The Last Samurai: ninja vs samurai scene.

Though I loved summoner I would rather be a beast master again. Rather then arcanist I would rather be a samurai or ninja again. Rather then Musketeer I would rather be a archer who doesn't have to be a damn bard. It's like SE -kind of- listens to people and then totally does something different sometimes..

Ex:
Huge outcry for Beastmaster so were getting little pets? nooooo SE nooo ><
People missed summoner so we have this whakabrainy idea to re add summoner, give carby to arcanist(Like seriously WTF?!?!) and still have some odd primal linkshell summon idea that just screams HMLS endgame claimbots again (imo)
People miss bard so we made ARCHERS sing a song? @.@(worst idea ever, ruined archer imo..)

I dont want XI-2 but I want my XI classes back. These new ideas turn my stomach..

I wonder how deep into the asian theme SE will go with samurai and ninja - I am confident that those two classes will have resemblance to their real counterpart as for one it would be illogical not to (call something its not) and for two they've always done it.

But say the home town or wherever these quests are obtained.. Will it have an Asian theme like romanticized and real landscape, architecture and culture? If so I'd further wonder if our player homes will get an update to use these structures and lands.. I'd like to have an Asian temple XD perhaps secluded - in some far away update it would be nice to have your own plot of land in your own area "I own this mountain and temple that rests upon it".

Yoshida definitely has these two classes on the sooner to do list, but said that he wants more mage classes first to balance out the DoW to DoM ratio. Looking forward to concept art
