Combat Gameplay - Ninja

[Radacci]

the acn was given mostly for the player from the V1 to have something to do, mostly because we had the same class for ages and some had all the class to 50.
they will not loose time and reduce the lore to nothing simply for please you. it's easier to put it tie to the story quest.

other point, you simply ask for a whole retcon of the story so far. people meeting yugiri before 2.1? she just did arrive from doma that was in war, how can she be in doma and eorzea at the same time? seriously, you don't care for the lore, we have get it. sadly that not the case of SE, they will not give you acces to the class without advance into the story.

finally, it's greatly possible that the rogue class will be something create by the meeting of yugiri and the thief guild of limsa... the dojo will probably where you will have your class quest. it's said by Yugiri that she will learn the way of the thief guild and make her dojo for teach adventurer... how can you not understand the tie with our own rogue class.
class are not given freely from now, i think you need to get over it and understand it. for the 2.0 they will only add ninja, for the 3.0 we know 2 more class will come and i will not be surprise to see for the 3.x series a few class pop, this is them way to add class.

you're to limiting in your thinking...
There's plenty of reasons why you could meet Yugiri. Although it's not probable, you could travel to an instanced location, in Doma, and meet her.
You could meet Yugiri after she comes to Eorzea, but before appearing in main story.
Or...you don't really need her as a teacher at all...actually she's not teacher really...you get all the ninja skills through job stone, you're just doing quests that unlock those powers. It doesn't matter who gives the quests.
Anyone in the Rogue guild, can be your class teacher. I don't see why Yugiri would be Rogue trainer, when she just arrived, as you said yourself.
Although i'm not really a fan of ppl saying *It's the devs, they can do whatever they want* in this case, i'll go with that If they want to make Rog/Nin available from the beginning...they will. And i don't see any reason why they wouldn't.
And if they do, i'm quite sure they'll do it in a way, that makes sense, without ruining the lore.

Having played FFXI for 8 years, and having every new job available to me as soon as they were released (by just doing a small quest, though the ToAU quests for COR and such was a lil annoying), I don't see SE making ROG and NIN gated by anything other than a quest or two. Some people may actually buy the game new in order to play NIN, and thinking that SE will gate it to people who have to be lvl 50, beaten King Mog, and also beaten Leviathan HM is very, very unlikely. So many people will want to play these new classes that it makes no sense from a PR perspective to lock them to people who are already at max level and have beaten the main story quest up through 2.2. Think of how many disgruntled and upset new players (and old) there would be. Seeing as how new player friendly Yoshi is, I highly doubt this would happen - lore or not.

yah, but you know...this isn't wow where everything is handed to you...you gotta werk for that NIN!
(even though ilv 110 gear is handed to ppl almost for free)
