Lore vs. Money -- Will NIN require lvl 50 and 2.2 completed to unlock?

[MirielleLavandre]

This has been discussed before, but I am wondering what peoples' thoughts are concerning the NIN job. Many believe that rogue will be released as a normal class that people take to 30, have the subclass (unknown atm) at 15, and then will be able to become a Ninja at level 30. However, this kinda goes against the lore as people who have completed 2.2 know.

I know that gating the NIN job would potentially lead to SE losing the money of those people who may join the game just to play that job and don't want to play a job they dislike just to open it. I doubt anyone who has finished 2.2 would quit over the NIN job going against lore.

Does anyone think that SE would actually only allow NIN to be unlocked via the 2.2 story quest? If this question is answered Saturday in the Live Letter it would be so lovely!

**On a side note I'm kinda sad NIN in 14 won't be like my NIN in 11 -- AF3 +2 Iga boots // 9 shadows = OP as all get out!**
