Which means no real buffs to damage, no native dual wield at a sensible level (the fact THF got dual wield at lv83 is insulting in and of itself). The job as per FFXI was a sham, and best left to fade into obscurity. Hence my Rogue => THF, NIN suggestion.
Well, at least Thief had one guaranteed party slot.

A day in the life of Monk in FFXI:
Monk: Do you guys need a DD?
Paladin: Is Samurai coming?
Warrior: No, Samurai has jury duty.
Paladin: What about Dark Knight?
Warrior: He's the defendant.
Paladin: Ohh, right, that "thing he did". Well, do you have any MND rings, Monk?
Monk: Yeah..
Paladin: Get to boostin!
