When can we expect THF?

Don't monks already kinda fulfill the role of thief mechanically? << Steady, over time damage from the back/flanks in light armor?

That does not describe a thf.

mmm i prefer RDM > THF. I check FFXIV's youtube page daily as i await for them to tease a new class/job.

I think it was weird at first that some of the "classic" vanilla jobs were not here at the beginning, however now I think it's not so bad to see them later on. I think we are use to having those classics up front, because they tend to be the catalyst jobs that become something more powerful. But I have no doubt we'll see them sooner rather than later.

Question is, we'll they go down the long list of 30 something class/jobs in the final fantasy universe and employ each one day? Or will they be responsible for introducing a totally new job all together? Time will tell! Looking forward to the future is an understatement.

RDM is going to be different, no doubt. Might be better, might be worse, but it's going to be different than what we're used to. It will have to be, to fit into the game.

People talking about RDM always makes me wonder if they're talking about the classic RDM or the FF XI one.

Come on SE, I want to shank people with my knives!! I guess we'll have to wait several months (or even 1 year) before we see the thief job in FFXIV.

Id love a rogue type class...that's all Ive ever played in most games that offer it...duel wielding swords or daggers = fun for me (maybe some invisibility to....giggle)

It should probably be easier to implemend than a rdm or musketeers.

Gatherers already have stealth mode. There are plenty poison/blind type attacks or other status effect. I can see a thf being a dps type.

[Sapphic]

Been wanting Musketeer since 1.0 and happy to see that will be next.

As a side note. It always bugs me how MMOs call invisibility stealth, just because its on a rogue type class. Stealth is sneaking through the shadows, the undergrowth etc. Invisible, is well, invisible:P

But instead of bring back this, bring back that. I'd really love for SE to make brand new classes/jobs. Or at least a mix of some some old classes and some totally new classes.

Maybe they introduce a Red Mage, or a Thief and that it is totally different to what you are used to or expecting. How many would see that "as a bad thing" ? If SE are wanting to take the franchise in a different direction then they should dig into their box of originiality for new classes. Seeing as one of the changes they made already is to the Final Fantasy Logo showing that a new direction is something they want.

But also the are adding iconic stuff too, aka golden saucer. Which would ease people into new things more so than pure new XD

TL;DR Lets have totally new and original classes/jobs come in the future. Not just rehashed from previous FF games.
