Seems we have an answer on the 'lore' vs. 'new player friendly' NIN option ^^

This isn't news at all for those who weren't blinded by their own egos. Lick those wounds, elitists, you knew this was how it was going to be.

You used the word elitist incorrectly - Also Yoshida stated recently that they were looking into having you progress to AT LEAST the level 15 main story before you can unlock Rogue.

0_o Curious George and the BLM trainers and the two Padjal kiddos are so very deeply connected to the lore?
Part of the point is that Ninjas don't even come from Eorzea in the first place.

They are actually if you played the game when they introduced the job system in 1.22.

tbf the story did seem to imply Yugiri would be the job trainer.
That said that image doesn't really confirm scarface dude is the ninja job trainer.

Really? To me the story seemed to show she had more important things to do. She's kind of the leader of a displaced people.
I always imagined it would be one of "her people" who becomes the Ninja trainer.

"I see. Know that the practitioners of my art, too, are denizens of shadow. 'Tis in stealth that our strength lies. There is much we might learn from one another, I think."

"Ere long, I hope to begin imparting my martial knowledge to the people of Eorzea. When that time comes, it would be my honor to welcome you as a student."

Depends on interpretation I suppose

Don't know why anyone would think it would have been any different to begin with. Guy A "Look at all these other classes that set a precedent. Guy B: "pfffft that doesn't mean anything. Clearly they'll do something completely different this time."

I think that Yugiri could just be referring to bringing the art to Eorzea as a whole while the Nin storyline will focus more on a shadowy sect hidden in Eorzea (There are hidden Ala Mighan resistance fighters during the war so it wouldn't be much of a stretch saying that the other occupied nations didn't have them as well) teaching a specially chosen Rogue the art.

So dumb.

Illogical post. They are doing something different this time. The debate (or question, rather) is/was the extent of the change. So yeah.

[ExiaQuanta]

People were expecting Rogue and Ninja to be 2 different things?

Yeah, I didnt recall her exact words but I see where you're coming from now.
I just remember her being the leader of her people and so she seemed too important to be a class trainer. It would be like if you learned the new gun class from Merlwyb (which would be cool, but yeah not likely)

[Ayamia]

I'm just mildly bothered by the Ninja trainer's face. He looks like he wouldn't even laugh at the funniest thing in the world

I beg to differ.



He just colored his hair.
