Glad I was able to get this out before the turn of the new year! Samurai won the last community poll, so next up is Bard/Monk. I’m really happy to be getting back into the swing of things, and hope to see you all again next year!

"Ah always partial ta this discipline meself, thank ye fer tha lecture!"
-Amov
I refuse to believe that that prologue story isn't about a younger Master Mosusai
I hope we do go to Hingashi proper eventually
Been waiting for this. The nature of this discipline has, for a while, been something I've been wondering about.
Man these drawings are great xD
great lecture professor, but i have to ask. Since both samurais and ninjas both came from the same place and around the same time, dose that mean their ather generation is the same. IE are the EI jutsu techniques and mudras one and the same or are they fundamentally different and have to connections
To think this class would be a tank class if the peace didn't happen
Finally was hoping you'd make the samurai lore
Hmmm.. We need a 'What it means to be a Moogle' lecture at some point.
This video makes me want to learn the samurai class even more now.
This video made me fall in love with the samurai class even more! I definitely made the right choice in playing it!
As a Samurai main I appreciate the care and respect you gave to my job. I would love to hear a lecture on hingashi as a whole or the era of blood in more detail.
Interesting to see all the subtle ways that this job's lore took inspiration from the history of real world samurai of Japan; from their roots as military vassals to the way in which their preferred fighting style shifted from large-scale combat to a more "indoor-friendly" practice, with a focus on promoting both disciplinary and spiritual growth whilst upholding peace with minimal casualties
Also, does anyone else think the model for the SAM 70 gear (Myochin set, if I recall) looks a lot like Drak Gamestein?
Love the art.
Kinda sad that we don't have a dashing iaijutsu.
For context, since this is misunderstood to death by authors, writers, would be historians and fans of the Katana.
In the real world… Katana is a Good cutting sword, a tertiary weapon of the Samurai (Bow and spear variations being the primaries).
The fencing techniques are very similar and draw parallels to European/Middle Eastern and south Asian techniques as well.
The folding on the Katana isn't magic… it was historically done since the Japanese Isles did not have huge stockpiles of high quality steel, instead the blade makers found ingenious ways to fix the poor quality of iron.
European swords are generally, tougher, tend to be lighter tho the weight is comparable, and while the overall weapon length is the same as European armors progressed the blade grew longer and thinner.
Katanas are still cool AF, as are most bladed weapons, but they aint magic <3 your Bladed weapon nerd.
Everyone’s talking about how redmage is the only spellblade job.
What they don’t realize is that the true bladespell has been right here all along 😛
Technically that makes samurai a sword mage in the way a ninja is a bunny mage
14:42 Whelp; I guess as a caster main (and weeb) im gonna have to level SAM now…
Yeeees
I’d love a video on mnk
