E3 Letter from the Producer Live recap + artwork + Rogue/Ninja video

Shadooooow <3

YA!! This is awesome!!!! xD

I think I've found my future favorite DPS class. *super excited*

But it was still a job.



Jobs don't require guilds. They have nothing to do with city states. I doubt there's going to be a Ninja guild being as it's a job from the east.



I'm glad other people are on my boat. If it's expected that the audience for Ninja and Thief are the same then something's gone horribly wrong.

All good points as well. None of the Jobs so far have required a guild. So if Thief were to be a job, why would it need one?

I'm so quiting BRD for Rogue. I hope we get RDM, DNC and Gunner later.

I think it's very possible that one day Thief will be the second job for Rogue. I also think Ninja is a good fit to be a job for Rogue.

I don't really agree with Yoshi's reasoning for not having a Thieves guild, but I never wanted Thief to be a class anyway, so I'm pretty content with Rogue. The only real question is how fun it'll be to play this class.

Well, goodbye bard for now. Hello rogue!

[skho01]

Why can't they just let my bard use guns and play songs with an off-hand flute or piccolo? Or better yet, main hand a gun guitar... aka gun-tar?

[Zelas]

Where's my guns class ;_;

I hope they dont add thf. Dont get me wrong I probably would have preferred it over ninja but I'd much rather rogue's second job be a different role than dps, like healing dancer.

Anyway, marriage giving mounts and stuff...did they actually say that? I was kind of distracted watching the stream, I know in the previous LL they showed off the wedding chocobo I assumed was some special chocobo like the legacy one but when I looked at it's image again I realised it's just barding on a white chocobo (there's a normal yellow one in the corner)..which at least hints more at dyable/different coloured chocobos soon?

this thread needs to be on the first page. so "what happened at e3?" threads stop popping up.

bump.

I'm disappointed by the lack of Thief as well. Even by another name, I see Thief as a different concept than Ninja and won't get nearly as much fun playing Ninja as I would a Thief.

I don't really agree with their reasoning for not having Thief either. Thief may have had its roots in petty crime or such but... really? No city would host a guildhouse? I don't see Limsa being above doing so. And I'd see them maybe utilizing them as couriers, spies, special ops, things along those lines. The dirty jobs that need to be done but not publicly.

I'm not saying rename Rogue to Thief either. I'd much prefer Thief be a Job with its own special abilities going forward. Maybe I can hope for it in the expansion...

I am disappointed too, I was looking forward to Thief as a job T__T HOPEFULLY they could make it a job later on, I was a THF in 11 and I just love them dual daggers. Ninja never appealed to me as much. Rogue looks so cool though. I'm a sad panda.
