NINJA and ROGUE confirmed

[Bigpurpleharness]

I think its funny how everyone's quoting me and acting as if this is my words. Im repeating what yoshi said I dont make the decisions on what jobs and classes are in the game, but thats what they said, the rogues are former thieves, the classes have guilds in cities and they wouldnt allow a thief guild in a city. Maybe they'll add a thief job in the future where its something like the rogue goes back to the 'old ways', but idk.

For what it's worth, I only quoted you to give context, I realize it's their viewpoint, I just disagree with it. As I said, I'm simply disappointed.

Rogue is the class, Ninja is the job. They said this at some point when they were talking about it. I'm not going to find when but I 100% know they said it. :x

I'm pretty sure they'll be talking about the gun class on Thursday during the Japanese letter which was said to be the second part of it. They also said at the end that they were saving some reveals for then.

Anyone else a little disappointed that 1) we didn't see musketeers and 2) new tanks and healers have to wait for the expansion?

Nope. Not at all. Not one little bit.

I watched the video too. I thought they said 2 new classes.. Ninja and Rogue.

EDIT at post limit

Heres the thing about THF, I don't see why they wouldn't be able to add it to the game at a later date. Yoshi said it doesn't fit in to the Cities, That's fine, Doesn't mean they wouldn't be able to add a Thieves Hideout somewhere later. Also have to think about it, Why add 2 new DPS classes at once? We still need a new tank Job desperately, A healer would be great, Need Musketeer.

They specifically said thieves wouldnt fit the world, because what city would allow that. The rogues are former thieves

I lol'd a bit during the live letter when Yoshi said the bit about the city not allowing a Thief's guild.
A rogue is a thief, an outlaw, etc. No city wouldn't allow Rogues either for the same reason they wouldn't allow Thieves.
Much like no city would allow a guild of Assassins.
It's like 'Come to X city and get assassinated! =D'


Anyway, I'm really bummed that Thief isn't an actual job lol.
They should have made Rogues and Ninjas a hidden/secret part- think Tenshodo ala FFXI.

same as you Ceons (I really miss hearing anyone saying ninja is the "job"). Or maybe i'm hoping too much they'll be different jobs/classes. That Rogue looked super cool. The ninja looked so.... un-interesting...
Anyway, I'll continue to think that they are 2 different classes until it's out lol. I'll be happier until then

Somehow, I figured that was how it was gonna work out, what with the weapons being bundled as a single item instead of two individual items, the class not being named Thief (actually called it that it'd be called "Rogue". How about that?), and that Ninja would be the job.

I really like how they decided to handle Ninja's Job abilities. The idea of using handsign combinations to execute special attacks is really cool! Kinda like the Command Input abilities used by Sabin in FFVI. The poisons sound interesting, too! Not sure if they'll be abilities or off-hand items, but it's definitely an interesting idea!

I would be more comfortable with thieves than thaumaturges/black mages. Then there's the whole Limsa literally being a city of sea-thieves thing.

They said both of them are dual wielding classes so its pretty ambiguous. if it will be Rogue to Ninja, or some thing that can become either of them.
