NINJA and ROGUE confirmed

[Nalien]

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

It will be a damned crime if Ninja can't wear Fuma, so I guess STR? I always pegged it as more of a DEX/AGI/INT kind of Job though, was kind of hoping they'd add AGI for the Stealth/fall/poison mechanics, but then I realized that would mean no Fuma...

Also, I wouldn't discount the possibility of Thief showing up eventually. They called it Rouge, likely for a reason. Every Class should eventually have two Jobs, and Thief fits perfectly here, perhaps they just haven't figured a way to make it work in XIV, or are saving it for the next Live Letter, along with the Gunner Class. It certainly wont work like in XI, but there are various things they could do with it. A One ilm Punch off GCD/Combo rotation could work as a Steal type move, for example.

Its going to be STR. Unless SE reworks DEX which it says Ranged Attacks then ROG/NIN are going to be STR.

Some times I really dislike XIVs stats system. Would love to see it reworked somewhat, frankly I hate how every piece of gear has VIT on it, though that's become completely necessary just for survival... Would love to see AGI added and slapped on Fuma instead of VIT, and PIE put on Bard gear (along with Bard actually being Bard and having a proper use for MP...), but I doubt that'll ever happen. In theory though, AGI could work as well as VIT, as a damage mitigation stat rather than a +HP stat.

I wouldn't count THF out as a viable job just yet either. There is still plenty of time for them to find a place lore wise in the game. Way I see it we are lucky that we are getting a new class/job this soon. But everyone has to look on the bright side of this ROG/NIN, If SE can add a new base class/job that means that any job they add in the future doesn't have to be branched off a current class. Means all the DRK/RDM/BLU/ w/e would be pretty interesting. I always thought if they added a new job branching off a current class that it would suck and be boring, Here some new gear, A job Crystal, And 5 new abilities, But you get to keep the same old abilities you used for 2 years on other jobs.... I know I can't be the only one who thinks it would be pretty lame to play DRK branched off of MRD?

I think it would be awesome, see; my concept for Marauder => Dark Knight.

It's actually one of the few Jobs that I can realistically see working coming off an existing Class. Most of the others would work as well as Archer => Bard.

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.

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.
