Which class do you want added into the game the most?

I wanted to call it Thief.

That's all you need to know about the thought process and the extend of Naoki's vision of thief in FFXIV.

名称については……開発チームでも本音を言えば“シーフ”と呼びたいのです（苦笑）。

About the name, Even though the development team didn't want it said, I wanted to call it Thief. (how I would read it)

Truthfully, I wanted the job to be called “Thief,” but the development team wouldn’t have it (laughs).

EDIT: However, since SE can do whatever they please with their game as long as they can make it somewhat reasonable, to say Thief (job) is completely off the table would be foolish. I personally doubt that it'll happen since Ninja is in the game unless they do a throwback to XI.

EDIT2: Realized my first link was actually broken
