What is required to become a rogue?

I'm not exactly sure but some of the information floating around says I need a level 30 Pugilist and a level 15 lancer. Can the rogue class just be simply unlocked by getting a level 1 quest at its guild like other classes?

If you just want rogue, all you need to do is have one class at least level 10 to unlock the armory system. Then it's just a matter of talking to the rogue guild to become a rogue like all the other classes. You will need one subclass at level 15 in order to unlock ninja though. Not sure if that will be pugilist or lancer.

I believe patch notes say you need 15 pugilist and 30 rogue for ninja.

indeed they do.
Reading patch notes leads to happy times.

1. You have to finish the class quest lv 10 of your starter class
2. if you don't start in Limsa, you also have to finish the main story quest lv 15 to get the airship pass

You can use lancer and pugilist cross-class skills, with rogue. so you might want to lv pgl to 15 for ninja, and also internal release (crit buff) at lv 12. And mantra at lv 42 (not really needed, but should be nice with Mug, to get more hp)
for lancer, you might want to lv it to 22, for invigorate, and lv32 to get blood for blood.

Mug heals for 50% of the damage, mantra wouldn't have any effect.

I believe as it has been stated and repeated without comprehension, Rogue is available to anyone with any level 10 job, Ninja I believe will not have a job combo requirement as rogue and ninja are designed as transitions to a new job system in 3.0 their workings will be completely different. If you are worried though it's too late now but if you are worried about prereqs for ninja I guess you could level Pugilist for a few of it's survivability traits, Marauder, Lancer, and Archer for ninja since it is so focused on ranged abilities.

Rogue is a class available to to everyone like all base classes Marauder, Pugilist, Lancer, etc. From there it requires lvl 30 Rogue and lvl 15 Pugilist to unlock Ninja and Lancer will be their cross skill class.

you need to steal something that value more than 1000 gil and bring it to rogue guild lol

bringing some laugh to thread lol

I may have misread it, but I'm fairly sure i read that you need to start off as a default (class we have now at creation).
Basically, you wont be able to create a Rogue on character creation, but can unlock it the way you describe.

If thats the case, thenn the system for new jobs will be much like the XI system.

you didn't read this thread, or the patch notes, did you?
it's nice of you to post speculation, as facts.
duno what drugs you are on :p Ninja cant use archer skills, and even if they could, you'd use them in melee (venom bite for LNC, has 4m range)...and nin isn't *so focused on ranged* it's a melee job; it's like saying DRG is focused on ranged, cause of jumps/talon/doom spike.
it would be stupid to develop rog/nin, if they planned to redesign them completely 6 months from now...so i'm not sure why ppl are expecting a complete overhaul of class/job system.

The requirements are right in the preliminary patch notes. The quest for rogue is level 1 with the requirement being completion of the level 10 quest for your initial battle quest to unlock the armory system. For Ninja the req is Rogue 30 and pugilist 15 with completion of the level 30 rogue class quest. The cross class abilities for ninja come only from pugilist and lancer not sure what that other person was talking about ninja not requiring a class combo and being ranged focused with cross class skills also coming from marauder and archer.

I'm interested to find out how they're handling the Rogue -> Ninja. Unlike every other Class/Job, even SCH/SMN, No other Class has changed its combat stance when going from Class to Job.
Now of course, i may have simply not understood wat i saw on the trailers of Rogue and Ninja animations, But Rogue looked completely different in weapon ready and running animations compared to Ninja.
