Rogue's 2nd job

[LalaRu]

As rogue is dagger class, and FF Dancers use daggers, I plead the Twelve about Dancer being the 2nd job of Rogue!

[Sho86]

So is Rogue then suppose to be the actual replacement of Thief? While I love Dancer all on its own, I was figuring there would be more of a Steal/Mug job coming in later, basically, Thief; as Rogue seems to focus more on the stealth part from the discription.


Edit - Guess the post below answers that question. Haven't been in the loop of things with the updates recently, still catching up x.x Oh well.

I cringe every time I see the word Rogue - Yoshi-P's words echo in my mind "Just think thief!"

Still very disappointed they are determined on this direction.

And gosh I hope it's not going to be a stealth class. I hated rogues in pvp in other games.

I agree, a good front line healer would be perfect, able to do damage, and toss out some DOT's and HOTs.

I very much would love to see Dancer brought into the FFXIV world.

Yeah, I don't know. They do some pretty questionable things sometimes. Maybe if there's enough complaining, they'll eventually add a proper THF job as well. There's no particular reason we can't have Rogue branch into both Thief and Ninja. Obviously there's no incentive for introducing both of them as dps jobs at the same time, but certainly it seems easy enough story to later on say "Hey, these rogues decides to stop being thieves, but thieves still exist, soooo".

Actually most of the recent interviews where people ask when we will start seeing second jobs for current classes yoshida seems to be giving the impression that the dev team has changed their mind about this. We very well could see only one job for rogue. Though personally I'm kind of hoping Thief will be the second job.

So they called it rogue instead of thief. "A rose by any other name.." and all that. As some have stated rather plainly, thieves in older titles upgraded to Ninja so is it any surprise? As for the second Job, given Ninja is very clearly a DD I'd surmise a healer/support Job would be the most logical second Job. Dancer sounds very appropriate in this circumstance. A shame it's a Limsan class, I'd want to try it out.

The Thief class located in Limnsa?
It seems more probable for it to be in Ul'Dah...
you know...the struggles are real.

Eh I'm still on the side that the entire class system is going to eventually get the axe.
