Thief, we want it!

[CatlikeThief]

As a Catlike Thief i've been waiting for a thief class since i preordered the game in 2010.

Plus it's not a FF game without steal/mug abilities. A thief or stealth based combat class woud be so awesome to play, or if it included treasure hunting abilities that help a party out with drops or farming. Some burst thief abilities are pretty powerful but in general, stealth based DDs arnt as powerful as other counterparts in MMOs, but still would be extremly fun to play.

I posted about this but I think we may get a DEX based job next since all the other stats have 2 classes/jobs each except for DEX only has BRD..... So just maybe we'll see THF.

A traditional thief class has skills such as lock picking, pickpocket and stealth, which seem to have no point in this game. Perhaps a dual wield rogue would work.

Basically Twinblade class from .hack and you're set.

Yeah, I imagine a thief job would look something like zidane from IX or Locke from VI. Single or dual wielding daggers, possibility of a bladed staff , etc.

It'd be interesting to make it a class with multiple modes of combat, such as switching from melee with stiletto-style short swords and knives to short ranged combat using throwing daggers or something.

I'd just want to thief on the basis that they'd have a skill that improves % for HQ/NQ drops of items.

I also concur with the current clamour that it doesn't feel like a FF game without MUG/Steal Gil skills!
