Ninja I think will be kinda a either or, melee or range.. so in movement fights Ninja would be better, in tank n spank fights thief would better, and fights with adds, again thief would better because they could tag an add and transfer the enimity to the tank for control.
I dont like the idea of Thief transfering arggo nor stealing health. I see thief having more of an arggo dump in the form of going stealth or something, also i think they will play more like a debuff class that will help everyone in the group, like lowering armor and/or health, maybe evening crippling there speed/attack speed, something along those lines.

As far as Ninja job goes (i never played FFXI) i dont like the idea of them being a tank class. Ninja's are stealthy and sneaky, they like to attack from shadows and dispatch there opponents quickly and silently, an assassin, its what they are and should be played like one.

Also i think both will be jobs, not classes.
