This would be absolutely wonderful. DK is one of favorite classes. Now all they need to do is add Samurai and I will be in heaven with this game :D

Edit: From the article, "Incidentally, a folder named “Samurai” was also spotted during the livestream on composer Masayoshi Soken’s laptop screen. Take it as you will."

GOD I hope so lol. If I am not mistaken the community has been pretty vocal about this. Here's hoping they listened. However they have proven they listen time and time again.

Excuse the ignorance, but what is a Dark Knight? I'm not new to FF, but I'm new to FF mmo's and I've never heard about this class before...

Now, samurai, huh? This sounds amazing! Not sure what's the samurai role in a party but I know it will be my favorite job if it comes true! Exploring Eorzea as a samurai sounds exciting as hell!

Spenok3468d ago (Edited 3468d ago )

Not a problem at all my friend. I've been on the FF MMO since XI launched on PS2 way back in 2004. They are powerful DPS classes who augment their DPS with Black Magic spells as well. Awesome class if you ask me.

Here's a Wiki link of the FFXI definition of a DRK. http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.or...

Also, a Samurai in FFXI was a skill chaining monster. He could throw out skills like no other class, and put them together as well. (FFXI was vastly different from XIV in the skills department). He dealt some seriously incredible damage. It was my personal favorite class.

Tdmd3468d ago

Melee dps with dark magic buffs, then? I like it! Thanks for the link. I never knew there were so many jobs in FFXI! It makes FFXIV pales in comparison!

Spenok3467d ago

Yeah it kind of does. However it's had over 10 years in the incubator ;)

noxeven3469d ago

That great. Makes me want to resub to finish mastering crafting and such.

Spenok3468d ago

I've never been into crafting in an MMO, and I tried in this game in vanilla, and GOD that was terrible. It's still very similar, just much more refined and much better. I got into it a little again when ARR launched, and I may get into it again. It sure would be lucrative lol.

Major_Glitch3469d ago

The author missed an important part regarding the samurai folder. It was seen that the folder in question had been updated this month.

Skate-AK3469d ago

Oh man. Looks like I am buying the GOTY edition.

belac093468d ago

im new to the whole MMORPG scene, i never had a PC back when WoW and all the others were huge, but now that i have played FF 14 i realize how much i probably missed, especially FF 11, this game has been a game changer (literally) for me. FANTASTIC game.

Xbox Profanity Filter Is Ruining the FFXIV Chat

The Xbox profanity filter is currently ruining the readability of the FFXIV chat on Xbox Series X/S due to censored words.

Lol, damn... At this point, they were better off keeping FF XIV away from Xbox. It has been nothing but obstacle, after obstacle.

gold_drake16d ago

wanted to say the exact same thjng.

VenomUK15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

What happens if you say things that used to get you banned on Twitter e.g. 'a man can't be a woman'?

DivineHand12515d ago

I'm not convinced this is the profanity filter. It doesn't make sense to censor words like class, harvest and dance. It seems to be a bug.

TheGamingHounds15d ago

Well, FF14 itself has some pretty awful chat censoring so Xbox being in the same boat isn't too farfetched

Eidolon15d ago

it censored the S T D in "harvest dance" and I bet the A S S in class. I know this because of Runescape

Aphrodia15d ago

Yeah these new fangled filters are going a bit too far. I have a game that filters "wtf". It's a censor for a self-censoring phrase. But I think overall it's how it should be. If you don't want certain language being used in your game by your player base, then it's up to you to filter/ censor the language you don't want. I can respect that. What I can't respect is when you say things that are not really offensive then you get ostracized for it.

shinoff218315d ago

What happened to just reporting people

NOMATICENIGMA15d ago

This is completely false, I tested this on my son's child account and mine, this is not Microsoft censoring they will censor swears but not the combination of letters I can prove this with a screenshot where I use all mentioned words in the article but do not know how to upload a picture.

NOMATICENIGMA15d ago

You can all continue your bashing, I was wrong someone explained to me this is a new policy, that's why it only happens for me in this brand new release. I'll try latter on ps to confirm but their response seemed informed wich leaves me rather worried for future censorship on my xbox.

CrimsonWing6915d ago

Geezus, Xbox, you get gifted gold and still f*ck things up.

NOMATICENIGMA15d ago

It's not xbox, go ahead start a chat with the youngest person on your friends list then say raid mass class sass said .... they do not censor any of these I even got away with R.Aids. sqaure on the other hand does.

CrimsonWing6915d ago

Does this affect PC and PS4/PS5 users, too? Or is it only happening on Xbox?
