Just to clear up the nonesense most of my friends seem to be on about ever since Vanafest, SAM is NOT getting an ability to dual wield great katanas. The supposed image depicting this is misread.

The image says it all, but in case you don't understand: The SAM seems to be making a motion somewhat like a THF using Steal, in that he is leaning into the mob when striking with his Great Katana (in the right hand only). The left hand is just in a coincidental place, and the diagonal 'swipe' motion seen in the air seems to line up with his hand perfectly, giving the illusion that he might be dual wielding great katanas. Also, the crowd does not make any sound suggesting the devs are talking about any kind of dual wielding. The crowd would roar in shock (approval or disapproval, either might happen, but they would not remain impassive) if that news were to come. The video can be found here.
So stop saying you're quitting because SAM gets to dual wield great katanas, people. -.-
