A couple of years have passed since Final Fantasy 14 infamously axed the Samurai's Kaiten ability, but it's still on everyone's mind - including the director's own.

While attending a Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail preview event, GamesRadar+ spoke to director and producer Naoki 'Yoshi-P' Yoshida regarding the Samurai job and its long-lost Kaiten ability. "Firstly," the developer clarifies that he can "promise" us the class "won't be simplified any further." As for Kaiten, Yoshi-P is "really torn about it" and apologizes, saying that he's aware fans are still wondering why it was removed. "Back then when we made the decision, there were more people requesting Kaiten to be removed than there were that were happy with it."
