Thf -> Nin Where?

[pandabearcat]

I dunno if I would say its a slap to the face, I mean, not everyone likes thiefs.

They obviously had to make some concessions just because they don't have enough time.

If you look at it objectively, there are already 5 DoW classes and only 3 (4 if you count scholar/summoner as separate) DoM classes.

And remember scholar/summoner was a late addition. So if you think about it, if they had put in thief instead, we would've only had ONE healer and ONE offensive magic class, which would've been kinda lame.

Thief is iconic to be sure, but ninja certainly less so, and Corsair even less so.

My personal take is they'll probably add some sort of mage, along with either corsair (for a second ranged dex dps) or thief (melee dex dps) sooner rather than later.

yes! its a slap in the face, not only did they have thf in the original and first ff, they also had it in some kind of incarnation in every game, either as a job or as a character(yuffie, zidane, locke, rikku). two main characters were also thieves in the final fantasy series(locke ff6, zidane ff9). to say ninja is not iconic tells me you must have come into the series very late, it was one of the original jobs in final fantasy(If you had a thief knighted in ff1 you became a ninja), do i need to mention shadow from ff6?? yuffie in ff7? It was also the ONLY other tank in ff11.
