Thief, we want it!

[LoLo]

I don't know, monk feels very rogue/thief like to me.

But I do like some thf AF

I don't get "rogue" feelings when I play monk...

But I'm open to other peoples opinion.

[ashikenshin]

rogues do it from behind...

I just want them to remake ffxi. I am settling for FFXIV in hopes that day will come.

But thief would be cool. It would help with a lot of threat issues if they brought the SATA mechanic in.

Sneak Attack -> Trick Attack -> (Dancing Edge/Shark Bite), do tons of dmg and make the mob think someone else did it.

Thief: DD, with one tank job, one dd job (and dd being partially support)

Don't see why they wouldn't add thief though, Moggle Mog has a thief moogle with him.

IMO though, theres no point to having tons of Jobs in this game if they don't increase the party size back to 6 for a light party an 12 for a full party.

If they stick with 4 and 8 and they add 10 jobs over the next year... The FOTM spam will be autrocious. Your a level 50 blm now and people want you for turn 4 bcb, then Blue Mage comes out and does Magical and Physical dmg and better aoe and BLM get's the bullet. Crap like that will happen constantly and you'll be leveling up your FOTM class because you won't get a group otherwise.

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.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with requesting a very specific job to be included some day. No one here suggested it should be the next job or that it in anyway contradicts the statements made by Yoshi-P. Take your attitude elsewhere as it is misplaced here.

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.

I believe the term "Scout" has already been referenced by Yoshi in regards to a new agility class.

So likely:

Scout (Class) >> Thief (Job1), Ninja (Job2)
