Most likely Ninja will be DPS in FF14ARR
I already know this. It doesn't change the fact that people ENJOYED playing NIN tanks and FFXIV is for the players after all. So I could see SE putting NIN in a DPS role: a lot of players expect this and for some it would be desirable, it's what they intended in FFXI originally, and it thematically makes sense OR a tank role: a lot of players might still enjoy this, it's what NIN ended up being in FFXI, and it might encourage more people to play tanks. So I agree that NIN will probably be a DPS but it would be understandable and totally unsurprising if they made it a tank class. I personally am 50-50 on it. I enjoyed NIN tanking in FFXI but I doubt it would work much like it did in FFXI and who knows if it would still be fun to tank on NIN if they changed it too much?
