Anyone compile a list of things to do to prep for NIN?

It's not that I'm against it being STR or not. In fact I don't really care either way. However the problem that I have lies in the fact that people just automatically assume that it will be STR, even going past the fact that Yoshi is on record saying that the team hadn't decided on what the stat was back then. It shouldn't be so hard to imagine another class utilizing DEX that's not a ranged job. No one knows how Ninja will work outside of what we are shown.

We also don't know the precise calculations structure or algorithms they use to select what jobs use what stats, only that we know the current melee DPS use STR, and the one job that uses DEX is BRD. What if they classify dual wielding as a DEX based stat? What if they added an entirely new stat, such as AGI? No one knows.

There's also the developmental data that was slipped into patch 2.28, which could mean anything. It could mean they planned (or are planning) on making DEX work with Ninja. It could mean that they are using DEX as a testing modifier for Rogue/Ninja abilities. They might have planned for it and still decided to go the STR route later on. They just wouldn't put it in game for no reason -- they have at least considered making Rogue and Ninja based on DEX.
