Here we are forced to play ninja even if we don't want to and while it's true that a good deal of your skills are still rogue's, in the end you're still a ninja, it was no big deal with the other classes because they were only in FF xiv but thief is a FF wide class, not a one game class like gladiator.

Besides, who cares about what you do, I could be the overlord for all I care and still be a whitemage, your actions are heroic, not your being, nothing stops you from being a thief if you want to, even if you are the savior of the world, since when does outsiders' opinion matters to your very person? If I want to wear an Hawaiian shirt I wear one, I don't care if people thinks it doesn't suit me.

And again it has absolutely nothing to do with XI, I never even played XI and yet it still annoys me that my favorite job is turned into a mere class and that the job I always hated the most became this very class's evolution.
