THIEF AND/OR NINJA hinted at in 2.2 story for 2.3? (very minor spoilers)

[Parodine]

I appreciate them giving hints about the new race and new class/jobs. Makes me excited about the expansion.

Hopefully next fall/winter???

Nice info. Seems like an SE style hint. If Thief and Ninja (Melee Support and Tank?) would be the jobs I wonder what the class would be. Rogue might be a little.....you know.

Ohhhh the humanity!!!!!

Scout

Muskeeteer and Dancer also hinted/teased.

[Ehayte]

Corsair > Thief + Muskateer
Duelist > Red Mage + Rune Fencer
Pugilist > Dancer
Gladiator > Dark Knight

[File2ish]

Corsair > Thief + Muskateer
Duelist > Red Mage + Rune Fencer
Pugilist > Dancer
Gladiator > Dark Knight

I'd prefer
Musketeer -> Corsair (DPS)
Thief -> Ninja (pure DPS)
Duelist/Fencer -> Red Mage (DPS) / Rune Fencer (tank)
Gladiator OR Marauder -> DRK (preferably MRD imo, since DRK in XI used 2H weapons)

As for Dancer, I'd prefer it to be a DPS/Support, or heals if they could make it right and balanced so it doesn't outshine WHM and SCH. I'd like DNC to come off of say Thief because of the dual wielding, since DNCs generally when /NIN until we got our native dual wield (making /WAR really good for damage at the cost of utsusemi). DNC off of PGL would work for me, I'm planning on leveling monk anyway lol.

But I'm happy as long as DNC and RDM makes it in. RDM could come off of GLD as well, though I'd prefer a fencer class for it.

Corsair > Thief + Muskateer

Musketeer is pretty firm on being a class, I think. The guild exists in the game with its name long established. And as much as I dislike FF11, it seems likely to me that Corsair will make an appearance as a job. It's just too damn appropriate for a bunch of pirates.

Gladiator OR Marauder -> DRK (preferably MRD imo, since DRK in XI used 2H weapons)

As long as the trainer NPC is named Leon(hart).

[XanderOlivieri]

If hints, we'll find out in 4 to 5 years since thats how long Legacy players have been waiting for musketeer. XD

Probably won't see any new classes until 2.5.

@Ehayte Musketeer is a class so it should be Musketeer > Thief + Corsair

Though highly unlikely. Musketeer is ranged gunner. Thief is dual dagger close range fighter.
