Thief, we want it!

Why do people keep posting these threads? Do you never listen to live letters or read stuff the Dev's put out? First new job will "probably be something like dark knight" per freaking Yoshi P. Even that new job will be in the next expansion. It will be years before you see stuff like thf or rdm in the game. So many other jobs are lined up first. Yoshi said if he had his way the next job he would put in would be red mage, but its not feasible right now. This is all stuff you can read and find out about if you just do some digging.

Interview where Yoshida says they know a Scout Class (read Thief) is missing. (Also mentions Ninjas/Samurais as wanted, nothing about putting in game)

Found Here

A translated interview found on these forums from when 1.x was still running. It specifically mentions "just a few of the random ideas (or delusions) that Yoshida was kicking around in his head, none of which are finalized concepts." However, confirmed Arcanist for 2.0 release. (Mentions they were thinking about branching Dark Knight off of Gladiator and bringing Musketeer into game with dual pistols, neither confirmed or set in stone.)

Found Here

Interview post launch where Ninja is confirmed, however with no date estimate.

There are plenty of other interviews mentioning there will be new jobs/classes, no specifics or timelines. However, what I CAN'T find is an OFFICIAL interview or comment by Yoshi that is not 'just an idea' saying that they will in fact be bringing Musketeer into the game.

I have seen plenty of people arguing because there was a Musketeer's Guild in 1.x (from Tanaka, not Yoshi) and the fact that there are NPCs currently 'firing pistols' in the practicing area for the Marauders' guild. They've data mined and found graphics that like the guild crest that existed in 1.x in 2.0, blah blah blah.

Obviously nobody can say what will and won't be in the game, but I like to go by interviews and official statements. If you have one, please link it so I can check it out as I try to stay up to date on this.

The ONLY other thing I've seen that's not quite official, but mentioned by Yoshi in interviews is that he personally would like to see Red Mage brought to ARR.

In regards to the original poster, yes we're getting a scout class (perhaps Thief class, Ninja job? who knows). To the musketeer lovers, please toss a link to an interview! I am interested in reading it.

I completely agree with everything you said, but I wanted to add more info to this part. If you go to the Marauders guild in Limsa it shares a large room with another empty guild that has a gun for the symbol. This is right now in 2.0. So this isn't some "oh back in 1.0" piece of information as you can actually go see it right now.

Oh I know, I've seen the door that could easily become the guild. I just am looking for an official interview. I've got nothing against people trying to add up what they see, but I like to stick with official announcements for jobs/classes. If I went solely on that stuff alone, the fact that Yoshi told a JP player he'd love to have a gunblade class and the fact they're (the gunblades) already in the game would make a nervous wreck waiting for an agility tank
