The Samurai is a job class from Final Fantasy Tactics. A physical based job, the Samurai has decent stats all round, making it a solid job. However, it also has the ability to draw spirits out of Katanas to do various things. Doing so may break the Katana. It should be noted that you only need the katana in your inventory, not equipped, to use the ability. All abilities are Katana specific as well. It costs 7100 JP to master.
Following a warrior ethic from a foreign land, the samurai uses Iaido techniques to attack with his or her katana.
