Thief>Ninja/Dancer Class/Job

[Calypsx]

I personally want Ninja to be a ranged DD job that throws kunai knives and other bladed weapons kind of how Thancred does in that one cutscene, and Thief to be a melee dagger backstab/steal job. I usually see Ninja's throwing things more than fighting close up in FF games, and their specialty in many games was the "Throw" ability (and sometimes their most powerful).

This cutscene in FFXIV in particular. After seeing this I was hoping Ninja would be a agile ranged Job with awesome blade throwing animations.

More high flying ninja throwing blades from FF IV's opening cutscene.

Plus it would add another ranged DD job while allowing those who do enjoy the Thief to continue to play their favorite Job in the series. I personally like Thief aesthetically and visually and would be pretty sad to not see it become a job.

Not very many games have a throwing knife job either, it's a pretty unique archetype.

That would be kinda interesting, actually. Not sure what kind of class would focus on throwing daggers, but having NIN be a ranged DD like that would be rather interesting.
