Thief/Ninja looks to be Inbound

[Deathscythe343]

Has anyone thought that although they might release a new dps class, wouldnt they have to release a new class for each role?

Yes, I believe they would have to. It would make sense that if Yugiri is going to teaching people some of the skills from her land that other skilled masters from her city may also come with her. Other than that, I think that it would be a good way to try to keep things balanced.

I went back and watched some more of the cutscenes with her in them, and it makes even more sense that we would see more than 1 new class/job. Yugiri mentions that she is looking for a place to bring her entire race to. They are looking for shelter from the Garlean empire. It also seemed that this would happen sooner than later. After watching the cutscenes again, I'm not quite sure that they would be able to drag this out until an expansion.

I, for one, have been doing any T1-4 groups I can get myself into because of the idea that they will use the same stat paradigm as they did with launch. Meaning that it seems unlikely they will add another primary stat into the game just because they are introducing another class/job.

Ideally, Ninja would make more sense as DPS, with Samurai as the tank (I'm thinking like Auron from FFX).

I am not so sure that the Samurai will be a dps. I know one of the other jobs that a lot of people are interested in is the dark knight. It would make more sense if it was added into the game as another tank option to fill that spot.

So we are going to get the 'Scout' class Yoshi wanted to get in the game, no real word or hints about Musketeer... Samurai had very subtle hints and may not come around for a while yet itself. Well, this will be an interesting year.

The hints about Musketeer have existed since 1.0. The "visit all the guilds in the city" quests that were part of the level 1 through 10 LL storyline in 1.0 included a quick trip there (which ended rather suddenly when someone recognized your shooting style and threw you out). In ARR, the Marauders Guild was moved into the same building as the Musketeers Guild, and sharp-eyed players will note both the guild symbol hanging outside the Coral Tower, as well as all of the necessary supporting NPCs for the guild inside.

In short, Musketeer doesn't need a "new guild in Limsa Lominsa!" story segment because the guild has always existed in Limsa Lominsa.

I have a feeling that they are going to make a base class of Rogue, and then two jobs for this class. Thief and Ninja, in which Thief will be a melee dps fighter, and Ninja will be a melee dps caster

I say that because we have yet to see something as obvious as this in ARR for Musketeer...

Again, the Musketeers guild is already in the game (even though players can't yet join it). It's the "missing" third class guild in LL (note how both Ul'dah and Gridania have three class guilds, while LL only has two). Pay attention when you visit the Coral Tower, and it is blatantly obvious that the Marauders share that space with the Musketeers. And it has been repeatedly stated by SE that Musketeer will be the first class released. And then there's the Admiral's obvious skill with pistols in the 2.2 battle cut-scene.

In short, Musketeer doesn't need anything further. It's been broadcast in fairly unsubtle terms since ARR went live. The new class hints in 2.2 are for jobs that have as yet not existed in Eorzea.

We need a stealthy hunter of the wilds type class, an ambush predator so to speak.

I'm really hoping Ranger will be added and will be along those lines.

You are acting as if I am oblivious to these things and do not know them. I started as a MRD, I saw the signs. And the Admiral cut scenes mean nothing unfortunately, because to me, it was the equal to this.
