I hope this clears up some of the Rogue>Ninja rage

[Gaddes]

A thief is a rogue. Not all rogues are thieves. I don't understand why that is escaping everyone. You can still be a THIEF as a ROGUE, you just RP stealing stuff. Thats all a thief is, a rogue that steals.

You all that are in a fuss about the thief being replaced with a rogue are not thinking about those that wish to play Rogues without being a Thief at the same time.

I don't care about playing a Rogue; I care about playing a Thief. Thief is the traditional FF class. If Rogue ends up leading to a Thief job, then that's fine. The issue I was addressing, however, is not Rogue vs Thief, but the excuses being made as to why THF "wouldn't work". There have been countless examples of noble/heroic/good thieves in other FF lore, it could be done here as well.
