Really? Could you link a site that has quest dialogue or some SS's? According to SE's description: "Marauders are combat specialists whose weapon of choice is the greataxe—a fearsome arm long associated with Eorzea's pirates." Even if they're no longer pirates in ARR they're at least still associated with them. But I'm still interested in reading their lore behind changing their pirate roots if you have it.

Edit: Also would give good reasoning for Viking to be a 2nd job from MRD, going back to those roots!
