Thief/Ninja looks to be Inbound

[Ixpheon]

I personally don't think it will be called "thief" class nor job. Yugiri is against stealing or low life style. but the class and job will definitely have two dagger will a pretty cool stance

Perhaps your character starts out as a member with the Thieves guild, a separate entity unrelated to Yugiri, then becomes the advanced job Ninja specifically trained by Yugiri's people.

But yes, regardless of name, the class will be likely be dual wielder. It's just a question of flavour.

I keep reading about Ehrmahgerd GEOMANCER. Why is everyone so stuck on it?

Hmm, someone sounds irritable. :P

Well, Geomancer was a class from FFXI (and appears in tactics etc.) and though there's nothing to say they have to implement the old stuff it seems fitting for the conjuror as an earthy, nature class.

It's just a logical choice that fits.

Yugiri, however, isn't the only person that does the whole dual-wielding dagger thing. Thancred does it as well as Yugiri, and it's basically stated that there's a Thieves' Guild in Limsa Lominsa that Thancred used to belong to. This would suggest that you start as a THF in Limsa with said guild and then talk to Yugiri (or some other Doman) to become a NIN.

There's to many speculation going on. It can also b said for a corsair/ranger(gun base) job since the leader of limsa is a corsair. Also limsa is a port city so there's another speculation for a Viking type job.

The Marauder is essentially the Viking type job. You do realize that, don't you?

[Deepice]

rename Marauder to Viking

[Butcherboy]

Well thief could b a class the merge into 2 jobs ninja/assassin

[Silkerin]

would be nice that if this time thief is the advanced job of something.. not a pre requisite like it usually is, usually is like thief -> ninja... but something like someclass -> thief could be very interesting.. i think?

Doma was castle in FF6 where the Samurai were located; although her dress and fighting style clearly indicates Ninja, and they set her up with the thieves guild which is a pretty clear indication of what is coming since THF -> NIN is in pretty much every FF game with a job system. I also swear that I remember the Ninja's from final fantasy tactics (which 14 pulls a lot of lore from) came from Doma, although I can't substantiate that its just vague recollection.

[Rakashu]

I wouldn't be surprised that if we get the Musketeer through a patch mid-way through 2.0, some where around 2.5 or 2.6.

When the expansion comes out, and subsequently 3.0, it will probably open up Doma to us, and with it we will get two new classes possibly 3 classes, and a new race.

Thief/Ninja seems pretty obvious right now; I know Yoshi-P has mentioned something about a versatile caster (something like Red Mage), and I wouldn't be surprised in the least if they also include Samurai.

Please look forward to it.

Muskateer has been confirmed but while it hints to thief/ninja this has not really been confirmed yet.
Sure hope so however, i sure want to level a new class to 50
