Forgive me if this has been posted before.
They included the Japanese sword, the katana, in Factions, but left out the armor that goes with it. My Shy Samurai needs his armor. Also a green katana would be nice.

Neither of those is really samurai armor. The ancient warrior is closer than that dervish armor.

I think you mean the other way around. Ancient Warrior Armor looks nothing like Samurai armor, while Monument Dervish definitely got some inspiration from it.

What we DON'T need is another set of lame armor that has Asian influences.

Since the Katana and Shinobi blades are swordsmanship, the Samurai armor would obviously be for a WArrior, and Warrior Elite Canthan is close enough.

awesome topic, and yeah we need samoerai armor, I just saw that movie with the top gun guy, so.

Why isnt there a celestial glittering armor! Why isn't there a zodiac star armor! Eeeh why isnt there a Amathyst armor! Whats the nonsence of this thread. Just because you arent satisfied Anet must add a armor? Everyone wants more armor, everyone wants their own armor, like it is in their dreams but please, please, i beg you, stop making anymore threads. Seems like more people ate they brains for breakfast more and more..

U can't rly expect aNet to introduce new content after this "huge" content update. Wait a year till another "huge" update and U might be surprised with new gold sinks like armor.

they said they didn't have any planned.
They also said they didn't plan a Mini Gwen Chan either.

I think any addition in the way of armor would be a benefit since it would help diversify character appearances and is also a lot of fun to collect. I'm all for aNet adding another 3 dozen suits of armor especially if they reflect real world armor.

Samurai were warriors
Ninjas were spies/assassins
therefore only the warrior need samurai armor.

Full Samurai armor could be cool.. Hugely doubt they'd do it at this point though.

I'm betting my money on that NC Soft and ArenaNet did not do samurai armor in specific to not look like they're leaning too much in favor of a certain Oriental culture.
Also knowing that Samurais are better known as a Japanese theme, that NC Soft is a Korean company, and that the Japanese enslaved the Koreans less than 80 years ago... it's not going happen.
But big companies have to be wary about what they put up on their games and some things may be culturally offensive, that's why they never say Christmas and say Winter Holidays, etc. The cultural backgrounds the games take also have this in consideration.

So much for going off topic, but I couldnt help myself
.I wouldnt mind a Samurai type of armor, but I dont really see any Samurai type of profession. The closest would be a Dervish. The Warrior strikes me as more of a barbarian type of character than a Samurai ever was.

Assassin Monument armor reminds me of stylized samurai armor. As for Elite Canthan warrior armor, that's more along the lines of Chinese armor.

Armor would deffinitly be a good idea. Diversity is good, though before we see more content with whats already here what about new classes?
/signed for new Armor. no necessarily Samurai armor tho seeing as a samurai never used a shield they used Katanas, and a Katana is genericaly classified as a 2h Weapon.

They'd have to give it a -10 AR penalty, to help reflect the inferiority of historical japanese armour.

Also, Assassins =/= ninjas =/= Samurai. And giving 'Sins a samurai-themed armor with a katana (not mentioning that Sins are bad with swords) would just increase the overall Narutard syndrome.
