NINJA and ROGUE confirmed

[MartaDemireux]

So... What stat will Rouge/Ninja be using?

Almost certain it would use STR. Rogues are Twinblade users (as I outlined above) which are a type of sword in most games they show up in. As with their correlation to PGL in the live letter I'd say it would be safe to assume they use their gear sets as well. With the current exclusion of THF it would be fitting to put them in the Fuma set, too.

I know I can't be the only one who thinks it would be pretty lame to play DRK branched off of MRD?

Actually I think I'd like to see DRK come off of GLA. That way we have the present theme in FF of PLD vs DRK.

However I could more likely see a double-handed sword (両手剣) class (perhaps 太刀士 "Long sword user/specialist" for the Japanese name, probably Knight in English? I know it's what the Japanese use for PLD but we could still use it ourselves) which turns into the Samurai (tank) and Dark Knight (DPS) jobs.

This would happen regardless of what new class they implement. It will happen literally every time in the future any new class/job is released. I watched this happen 100% of the time in FFXI when new jobs came out on day one.

Yoshi: THF wouldn't work in Eorzea, so it's called Rogue instead. No thieves.

Forums: THF will still happen it will be a job and this is how it will/should happen!

I guess its all context its not that thieves wouldnt work, but a guild of thieves would be rather counter intuitive for a city. I'll keep the dream alive, but Id be lying if I said I wasnt hyped for Ninja.

Does it really matter whether it's called Thief, Rogue, or Super Fast Slicey Dicey man? It's like... the same thing.

Also if they wanted to make it dex well.. It wouldn't be that hard. Just make Dex part of its damage formula instead of STR. The description is just text information that can be changed, the actual damage formula is all that would really matter and they had to make that when they made the class/job. It could use int for damage and swing a sword if they wanted it to.

But I do agree with the idea of STR since thats what we have so far. It will probably share dungeon gear with monk or something. Dunno i'm more curious about the mudra skills.

People aren't complaining because the class isn't called Thief. People are complaining that there won't be a Thief job in the game. Job. Not class. Job. Do you understand now?

It was only mentioned that the class was not called "Thief" because of lore conflicts. Simply, none of the cities would want to support a guild that encouraged things like stealing.

However, that does not mean we won't see a Thief job. Jobs don't have guilds and they are independent of the cities. I'm sure some of those reformed thieves won't stay reformed for long

My subscription ends in two days so I hope the rest of E3 is better because its kind of hard to be motivated to renew knowing there is no Thief Job. I gave up on wishing for open world content...but no Thief Job? Welp.

There is no point in playing a job I'm not interested in when I will have to devote unholy amounts of real life time farming my relic all the way up to the best form. XD!
