NINJA and ROGUE confirmed

[Exstal]

Knight and Paladin are the exact same thing... In Japanese Paladin is called Knight, Paladin just came about on western shores with FFIVs localization for some reason, and it just stuck ever since. So... The "logical" counter, is exactly what I said? Thanks for backing me up there.

Exactly. You're fighting for a name.

However, this whole argument is foolish.

There isn't a single good reason from a *developmental* standpoint for THF to be its own class if NIN is also implemented.

The reverse is also true if Naoki decided to go ahead with Thief instead of Ninja. Think about it logically. You'll need a LOT of different skill to differentiate Thief from Ninja. 5 isn't enough. If they continue the current trend of 1 job skill every 5 levels, it'll be L80~L100 before Thief could be sufficiently different from Ninja to justify its existence.

I also notice that Kitru posted a challenge for Thief advocates to make a Thief job that isn't overpowered or worthless and there was only one challenger. Why is this?
