NINJA and ROGUE confirmed

[Mcshiggs]

First that quote said that Thieves do exist in the lore, but you sat and said everything would have to be reworked to even add Thief into the lore. Secondly the quote only saids that Rogues used to be Thieves. The key word here is "used" so then that means they are no Thieves anymore.

There are no scholars anymore, yet you can become a scholar. There are no warriors in the city states of Eorzea, one came from another land to teach folks. If they want to add thief in the future as a job, all they have to do is put in a backstory for an npc that used to be one, but left when they started cracking down on them and they went into hiding as rogues.

I think that was also used to explain the other jobs like Black Mage
