It was also incorporated into the story when they send Estinien to go gather stuff out of trees because he'd have the easiest time leaping among the branches; yet, despite this, Nin's get the passive fall dmg trait ... I don't have a nin at max level, but is there an actual reason for this in their lore? Cuz' from where I'm sitting it doesn't seem to make sense ...
    I think it's just because Ninja came after the other existing jobs and SE was scrambling to make unique traits for it. I don't think there was any mentality of "Ninjas land better than Dragoons", it's just because Dragoon and its traits already existed when Ninja was introduced. SE probably just thought "hey, Ninjas are stealthy, they can probably land safely like a cat, right?". Let's give them that special trait.
