Thief/Ninja looks to be Inbound

[Efuren]

Yes, but Yugiri specifically talks about wanting to train people in the ways of Far Eastern combat. In fact, the end of the story seems to indicate that a Thief/Ninja Guild is being set up.

I personally don't think it will be called "thief" class nor job. Yugiri is against stealing or low life style. but the class and job will definitely have two dagger will a pretty cool stance

Perhaps your character starts out as a member with the Thieves guild, a separate entity unrelated to Yugiri, then becomes the advanced job Ninja specifically trained by Yugiri's people.

But yes, regardless of name, the class will be likely be dual wielder. It's just a question of flavour.

I keep reading about Ehrmahgerd GEOMANCER. Why is everyone so stuck on it?

Hmm, someone sounds irritable. :P

Well, Geomancer was a class from FFXI (and appears in tactics etc.) and though there's nothing to say they have to implement the old stuff it seems fitting for the conjuror as an earthy, nature class.

It's just a logical choice that fits.

Yugiri, however, isn't the only person that does the whole dual-wielding dagger thing. Thancred does it as well as Yugiri, and it's basically stated that there's a Thieves' Guild in Limsa Lominsa that Thancred used to belong to. This would suggest that you start as a THF in Limsa with said guild and then talk to Yugiri (or some other Doman) to become a NIN.
