ninja/rogue going to be over-played

[Feyniphia]

I'll still heal/tank for those in need, may try the class, but will see if its good or not to stick on it.

As I posted in the other ninja + scout theard in general discussion.

Ninja will be available to everyone or only to those who cleared the main story?
New guy, gets home, install the game, starts brand newie...can he be a rogue -> ninja? wouldn't that create a plot paradox?
Lady Yugiri doesn't get here until you clear Prae and move on with the main story....how would she train a fresh 30 when she hasn't even got here in that guy story?

It's possible and likely that you will only be able to join the Rogue guild after you cleared the story up to a certain point.

However, it's an evolving game world and it's not necessarily Yugiri that will teach you the Ninja job.

Wrong on one part. Everyone will play ninja the only time people will lolclass 8 before 5 he job unlocks. So about 30 minutes tops.

I wouldn't touch NIN even if I was paid to play it. x_x Why the hell do we get some lame ninja and not something really cool like proper thief. Or basically any other dagger double-wielder than ninja. I don't think ninjas would want to double-wield in a first place. /opinion

Lol, you people are pathetic, almost as bad as those who believe adding a new tank class means magically more tanks.

I'm willing to bet money that if they kept Ninja exactly as it is, same mechanics, same abilities, same gear, same every thing, but only called it "Thief" you would like it.

I don't think I've ever witnessed such childish and moronic behavior in my life before on any other forum.

When 4th phase of beta started, Limsa Lominsa was overrun with Derpbuncles and arcanists. Now I see barely any summoners and some scholars. Give it time.

Typical end game party after rogue release.

of course everyone will play it....but there will be those that are dedicated and play it well and then there will be those that suck because lolninja. It's like that with every existing class already.

I've been thinking about this a bit more The development team has been very careful in their implimentation of new content since 2.0 and have been clever also in some respects. Now if they are spending so much time trying to balance the game, it makes no sense at all that they would only release 1 class and 1 Job before the expansion, Im still a bit surprised that they didn't announce another job at least in the 2nd half of the live letter but then i got thinking again...
If i remember correctly with FFXI SE announced BlueMage and Puppetmaster at a Fanfest not E3 .... and they have now scheduled one in October!

Either way they need to have something to announce at the Fanfest so I imagine they are holding back until then so they can suprise everyone!
