NINJA and ROGUE confirmed

[Dijana]

After you hit level 30 you can't play Rogue, do you understand that people want to play Thief beyond level 30 with Thief skills like treasure hunter, steal, mug, trick and sneak attack like attacks as well? It isn't just a renamed Thief because it hasn't shown us that it can steal and I dont think it will from the video. Why do you have a problem with Thief being added in the game when it will not harm or effect anyone else's play style?

Alright, the first part of that. Their description on the lodestone says

Lurking in the shadows, adhering to no laws but their own, they punish the wicked, pilfering their ill-gotten gains and delivering them to the downtrodden masses.

So, sounds like they do steal. It's a thief, and you continue to play it after 30, just with a different name again. Being a job only changes the name and 5 abilities. You dont know that rogue wont have treasure hunter, steal, mug and all that, I'd put it more likely that it will since Yoshi himself said rogue is thief, and being a dps job, I very much doubt that they would give thief most of the abilities you say you want because they wouldnt affect DPS. Heck, I dont think treasure hunter and steal would even have barely any impact on the game at all unless you just want trash to sell for a few gil to npcs, since all the meaningful items come from chests for defeating a boss, not the boss itself, and are all guaranteed an item.

Secondly, you ask why do I have a problem with it being added to the game? I've said it TWICE now. While I would have preferred the thought of thief over ninja, since Im really not big into the ninja theme, we dont NEED it to have a second job that is the same role. Yes, it would harm and affect others play styles, because hey look, even more dps jobs we dont need. I said having a different role- tank or healer, would be far more beneficial for everyone. DPS queues are already insane, and there are never enough tanks or healers. Up til now, its sounded like we will only ever get 2 jobs per class (eventually). Maybe in the future there will be more, but so far that has never been stated. IF there is no limit to the amount of jobs that can come from a class then I dont care if thief is added someday, but AFTER tanks and healers are sorted out please.

I can understand having a job you really love and want added to the game. Maybe Im biased because I was never that big a fan of thief (I didn't dislike it, just never bothered to really play it) but I've always loved dancer and would love to see that come off rogue as well, but if they added something of the same role, then I was confronted with the question of 'we can add your favourite job which is exactly the same as the one already existing aside from 5 abilities or something with an entirely different role altogether' I would ask for the different one.

Edit: Also, because you keep insisting you dont play a class past 30. Yes. You do.

You continue to gain EXP for the CLASS, you never gain lvls in the JOB.

You continue to get new skills for the CLASS, more skills in the 30-50 range than the JOB.

The only difference is the 5 job specific abilities in place of 5 extra cross class abilities, a stat boost and a new name. Lorewise, they're something else, though they are still considered as remaining part of their class's guild, they've just extended their knowledge to advanced arts. You say you want to continue to PLAY after lvl 30, well, good news! You've been able to do that all along!
