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

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.

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.

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

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.)

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

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 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.
