    ya ken-do or bushido would work as class. but strange class names As i mentioned earlier Ronin IS samurai, but without a master/lord.
    Hey... I saw concept art for it while looking at tactics adv 2 art. As long as I see a great katana in some way shape or form, being held by a job, I will always think samurai. Whether he/she be master-less a lone wolf, brought shame...etc. I know samurai is a way of life, but for right now... Great katanas=Samurai..

    We don't know the official name that a great katana wielder will have. Also, Yoshi drop the name samurai... so I will stick with that wording until we are told different.

    Aye and he dropped it in responce to a question asking who would get Ninja and Samurai's relic katanas if i remember correctly. I really can't imagine Samurai performing Lancer weaponskills with a Great Katana... and going by the current class > Job format it would be very odd for Samurai to have a completely different weaponskill set to Lancer. Not to say i hate the idea of a pole arm weilding Samurai but it would really be straying off FF Samurai's roots as a Great Katana Job in a game supposedly all about fan service.

    Fan service.. Give us tactics job system :P lol


    Been lurking - you guys are coming up with some cool relationships between classes. Though I still fear that using two per one (or using "addendum jobs") is decreasing individuality and total potential of a job.

    Samurai being able to use a polearm makes sense (and bow) - samurai not being able to use Katana .. you are right no sense - the wrath of fans would ensue lol.

    Parivir, Ronin and Samurai are all really related - if this is a 1to1 (1class for 1job) I think you could use Parivir/R to Samurai, but I dont see Parivir/R mixing well with another job.

    Really.. SE FFT.. FFT.. lol You can still keep classes and job structure - only difference is the "addendum part" so that a job is its own (someone said addendum once to describe the current system, I'm keeping it )
