Rogue/Ninja Starting Class?

[Exstal]

It's not a dead art, and she may very well delegate some of the Ninja training to her associates. It makes absolutely no sense at all for Yugiri to be around before the 2.2 storyline if you are a new player. The player character doesn't know of her existence or the fact that Ninja exist. You can make the argument for Rogue however, as it is an art that was refined in Limsa Lominsa.

So one could play Rogue until 50, and only unlock Ninja after 2.2. That'd be a neat twist, don't you think?
