Samurai is a character class or 'job' that can be used by various characters in a number of Final Fantasy role-playing games. In general, the character doesn't have the best speed, but has a high attack power, and is capable of wearing heavy armor. Magically, they tend to be weaker, partly because they focus on strong physical characteristics. A samurai's weapon of choice is usually a katana, and among their skills, they have had many things ranging from special sword techniques, to the GilToss or GP Toss, to quasi-magical "draw-out" abilities.

In Final Fantasy X, there are no proper "job classes", but the character Auron has some characteristics of a wandering samurai, such as carrying a sake jug. His specific abilities are a combination of the samurai and knight classes. Auron conceals one arm inside his robe, leaving one sleeve to dangle empty, a clear homage to Toshiro Mifune's character in Kurosawa's "Yojimbo." (Auron's theme music is titled "Yojimbo," perhaps strengthening this connection) It is debatable whether Auron is truly among the ranks of Final Fantasy's Samurai characters, but there is no small amount of evidence in favor of his deserving the label.

In Final Fantasy Tactics, the Samurai is an upgraded class of the Knight/Lancer. They use the skill Draw Out, which draws energy from a certain katana in the party's inventory to unleash a spell effect. (this ability is probably derived from the traditional Japanese belief that the Samurai's sword contained his soul; thus FFT's Samurai is "drawing out" the soul from the sword to achieve some effect) There is a chance with the "Draw Out" ability for a sword to break when used in this way. Final Fantasy Tactics' Samurai also have the skill Blade Grasp, which is a unique reactive skill that allows a character to stop an incoming attack completely.

Marquis Elmdor, from Final Fantasy Tactics, belongs to a special class called "Arc Knight," which functions like the Samurai. Overall, there isn't much difference other than Elmdor's primary skill suite being Sword Spirit, which appears to be a more powerful version of Draw Out. Additionally, he gets the Blood Suck ability later on, which places a target in the Blood Suck state, leaving them in an uncontrollable thirst for draining HP. But "Blood Suck" has more to do with Elmdor's being a creepy quasi-vampire than his being an almost-Samurai.
