the new world to the west and some interesting connections

And she is totally going to end up being the guild leader of the thief/ninja/whatever class.

I don't see this happening. not because I don't think they'll add those classes, but think of the implications it would be to write her in as a major NPC that new players can use to unlock the classes with and progress along their class or job story line with looooong before they encounter her in the main scenario. It would not make sense then to have her arrive with the boat-load of refugees as if she was brand new to Eorzea.

I mean, yes, the game does a fair share of time bubble shenanigans. All games do. But it would be a hard pill to swallow, unless they made it a level 50 unlock (unlikely) after this point in the main scenario (very VERY unlikely).

Why would it be unlikely that they lock new players out from starting THF/NIN until after they've progressed through the main story? FF11 did things like that and worked fine. Although, I imagine a Rogue class will be unlockable right away with a THF job crystal to advanced to and NIN will be unlocked after the completing up to the next patch's main story.

Once she is welcomed she opens shop and starts teaching her Art of (insert class here). Works as she is new right now but to start teaching one does not need buildings but simply free time to teach the students.

You know, she could be a Viera.

Viera don't have lizard tails.

This is not FFXI, but I see your point. Having the job quests unlocked when you purchase a new expansion is one thing, but I have a feeling that having the jobs locked down until you actually progressed in the new area's storyline would not go over well with players. Plus, would this unlock the class at level 50, or level 1? These are things the devs have to consider.

I'm honestly not following your statement at all. My meaning was that to a fresh level 1 character in the game, with no in-game story progression, it makes no sense to meet her yet as a trainer because until the time passes and the character reaches level 50 to complete the main scenario up until the 2.2 content, to player characters and to NPCs in the world, Yugiri does not exist. She has yet to visit Eorzea. Does that make more sense?

[Steffie]

I would say solution to that is just Yuigri will be just the normal npc of her own storyline and have a different guildmaster for whatever the new class/job they are going to throw out and tweak a bit of the dialogue in 2.2

bangaa do an they have large downward pointing ears

Bangaa also have long snouts. Yugiri might be a Gria, but even that's a bit of a stretch. She's most likely something that we haven't seen to date.

[Maxin_Rudy]

maybe, when the xpac hits, they change a lot of this post game quests and incorporate it from the begining... or make the thief class avaible only after finishing the 2.3 content, where you help her to estabilish the dojo...

OR, they release the Thief class, since it already exist in the game, as a hidden dojo in limsa lominsa, with another job, and then after 2.2 quests or 2.3 quests you can do the quest to the ninja job
