    Ninja is not a tank. I do not want them to tank, they should be like their classical FF interpretations. Not the player bastardization that happened in XI.

    Thieves with Black Magic that throw stuff at people.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    Agreed. In all aspects, there is no real logic behind a ninja tank. In XI i couldn't stop scratching my head over that one.

    What?

    What makes it ok that PUG is a tank in XIV? Most people wouldn't have considered MNK a "tank" in XI.

    Uh, Monks make one of the greatest low to mid level tanks in XI and were better at it then Warriors in most cases. But like Ninja they get limited in how much defensive gear they have access too so they instead are relegated to DD onry.

    Pretty much agreed with this. I'm pretty sure that when Utsusemi was thought up for FFXI, they were planning on it being a tool to help ninjas solo a bit better or help them out in "oh shit" moments.

    Ninjas should have always been about shurikens, dual-wielding DD, and sneaky enfeebles.

    When I think ninja, I never think front line warrior.

    Someone clearly hasn't been watching enough anime...ninjas can raise the dead, negate thousands of attacks, summon untouchable spirits, form spirit bombs, and render themselves invincible with enough hand motions and concentration!
