Oh gosh yes. I would very much like NIN a lot more if it moved and was themed more like the rogue. It's a huge thematic downgrade for me.

I'm with you on it being a thematic downgrade- I don't plan on sticking to the class once I get it leveled mostly due to the wonky Ninja run & not being able to toggle between the rogue animation
Me too (or a straight up assassin, fine aswell) but I think they stated somewhere that they intentionally moved away from anything that could be associated with thiefs, thugs etc. so it doesn't look like they're promoting or endorsing criminal behaviour even in fiction.
With how strictly they censor violence and making as much happen off screen as possible and keeping it generally PG it's not surprising. Still a shame, I like a bit of an outlaw image tied to a class. Doesn't have to be really edgy, dark and criminal, just a bit would be enough for me.
NIN is all about control, principles, code of honor, loyalty, duty and so on which is fine on its own ... just not what many people were hoping for when they picked up rogue.
I'd play NIN if I could toggle the run animation to how the Rogue Runs when their weapon is drawn. I don't associate the Rogue run with being a criminal at all- I don't think anyone else does either- I just strongly dislike that players aren't allowed to toggle between run animations on NIN & in my opinion, is an oversight by SEMe too (or a straight up assassin, fine aswell) but I think they stated somewhere that they intentionally moved away from anything that could be associated with thiefs, thugs etc. so it doesn't look like they're promoting or endorsing criminal behaviour even in fiction.

to deter from anything 'criminal' related, yet we slay people & living things all of the time- that sounds like murder imo which isn't PG. So, now SE is picking & choosing if we think about it
We can't have an "outlaw" image but we can run around with our buttcheeks out in underwear
Maybe I'm overthinking it & over criticizing ( my apologies if it seems that way! :c )
Having options never hurt though & it seems to be the want out of everyone who's responded mostly- let's hope a higher-up takes notice ^^
Also, I appreciate your input
