You know if they really do need another job to be a Tank they could always just take the Rune Knight/fencer from FF XI that job would make a fine tank. That way they can leave Samurai to be a DPS like it should be.
Give me puppetmaster and dancer, that will make me re-sub day one.
Please.

I know he's joking but my PC heart breaks... =/ Dump the consoles! =)
As much as I love Puppetmaster, it's very unlikely they'll do another pet job any time soon. The game's system wasn't particularly friendly to pets like Summoner's so I can't imagine a job where the pet is an even bigger component would turn out well.
I'm slightly amused by the JP subtitle for this, The Crimson Liberator. That and the general concept of the expansion remind me of Dragon Quest X's current expansion where Liberator is a key term as well, lol.
... and also dump a huge portion of their PC user base that have PS4-class (or lower!) PCs. MMOs need large player bases, you want to hit as broad a minimum spec as reasonably possible.
Wasn't Samurai a tank job in FFXI?
Jobs can be cool even if they're not DPS people

I heard they intended for it to be a tank. But I'm guessing (I didn't play xi at SAMs inception) since it was good at dps they just embraced that. It could tank low level stuff but not high level, during the 75 cap days anyway.Wasn't Samurai a tank job in FFXI?

Samurai is a DPS in FFXI and an occasional off-tank.
Well... there was that year or two in Aht Urghan where no one in 11 tanked with anything BUT a samurai. That was a bad time to be a paladin.

Screw a primal fight, give me a Cactuar mountIf they make a cactuar Beast Tribe, I will be extremely pleased. Especially if it comes with a Jumbo Cactuar primal fight.
I fixed this for you. FFXI was /NIN fiesta. Heck DRK/NIN was pretty good to tank in some fights (could ramp aggro quickly. Also give drk dread spikes in 4.0 pls! That was a damn good spell. Though it would be pretty OP if they did a straight bring over of it).
I remember RDM/nin on Khimera iirc. Then NIN/RDM. Was there a PLD/RDM, for some reason I remember that being used.
My first thought was that it was probably dancer. I got excited, but then sad. I sort of don't want to see my favorite FFXI jobs in this game anymore. The transition to this game makes them quite boring or tedious. It was a nice cutscene and the whole DBZ thing caught me off guard. Maybe it's monk stage 2.
The battle system of FFXIV lacks any flexibility compared to FFXI: you have those three main roles and you can't go out of them. The game is more about mechanics than using jobs skills. Sure because of this FFXI had a lot issue as well, forcing SE to rebalance (or, at last, try to) nearly in every patch. Anyway I loved both games, but honestly FFXI was in another league when talking about battle system but that was another era.
And this is why I hope they'll fix these 'limitations' with their 'revamped' skills plan in this upcoming update.
Yup, she's a Dancer no matter how you look at it.
I mean, all healers already mix offensive magic with their healing and utilityRed Mage (Healer, the only role that can and does mix attack, healing, and support magic).
Samurai, Red Mage, and Dancer hopefully.
I'm a lot more hyped for this expansion than I was for Heavensward.
Looking forward to seeing what the new actions are for each class too.

We might be seeing class specializations so RMG could be a heal and dps as roles.Oh man, Samurai and Dancer? Time to watch this like a hawk.
I doubt I'd want to mess with tank, but if Dancer is a healer support I will be very interested, bard reborn (and just like that, I catch a glint of how Dancer could go down the same road as bard was. DD with some party buffs. How is Machinist these days?). Also with dancing I doubt I'd mind constant spinning like rogue, and ninja, probably won't have to do the position dancing that the melee classes do as well. This could be the best chance at a good transition. Sam too I suppose since they made Dark Knight tank work.
Red mage too? No SE, don't do this to me. What could Red Mage possibly be in this game?

Red mage too? No SE, don't do this to me. What could Red Mage possibly be in this game? Enspells? There's no real elemental weaknesses, so maybe the enspells would just be different modes the Redmage would go into? That wouldn't be unique though, since cleric stance already does dd to healer. Can't wait to see what happens.

Not to mention there's fights where AOEs straight up don't load until after the casts have already finished on PS3.Whoever is complaining about PS3 support being dropped never played the game on PS3 when Hunts first came out two years ago. You couldn't even see the enemy and the game lagged like a bitch because of all the spells from other players.
I'm super stoked for this. Hopefully there's more post-MSQ content in 4.0 unlike 3.0
Should we expect a new race as well or is that not really a thing that every new expansion would offer?
