NINJA and ROGUE confirmed

[Nalien]

Off topic: let's say new player comes and joins the game, fresh start.....could he be a rogue -> ninja from the start? wouldn't that create a story paradox?.... Lady Yugiri doesn't get here until you clear the main story, how could she teach someone in his first 30s class who hasn't even cleared Titan yet?

Rouge wont be a starting Class, problem solved.

The Guild is only introduced at the end of 2.2 as well, so it's logical they wont allow it to be a starting Class. It's effectively an expansion Class/Job with 2.4 being the expansion; you cannot unlock it until you've entered that content. Other than Musketeer, which would finish Limsas starting trinity, I'd expect all new Classes/Jobs to be like that.

So don't tell me I'm not playing like a GLA even after lvl30.

If you're playing Gladiator after Lv30, please do provide some proof that you've... I don't know, cleared all the Coil Turns while on Gladiator without your Paladin Stone equipped.

I've had someone who hadn't bothered to unlock Paladin in a late end dungeon once, it was terrible. Without Shield Oath they couldn't even hold hate, so good luck with that.

Take the green outfit shown in the trailer, mirage that to your all powerful gear, and look away from the NIN icon, and you'll be playing exactly like a Thief

Thief with hand signs and Ninjitsu, that jumps on the heads of enemies instead of, you know, being a Thief.

Again, why even bother adding Ninja? Get on Monk, Glamour Fuma gear over your endgame gear, done. Ninja is already in the game ! It's still doing DPS damage, just the animations are different ! Why do you care so much about the animation ?
