i means the monk is a better rogue than the ninja with all the positional fighting and stuff like this. and the ninja feel more like a true monk that go head on and simply try to destroy the target, it sad in a way. Sabin must be sad when he look the monk of FF14 *nods nods*
Interesting perspective on the role reversal, but the way they play is actually accurate, if you look at monks and ninja in real life. The "jutsus" (ninjutsu / jiujutsu) are a lot more direct in their approach to combat than many kung fu systems. Note: I'm not talking about the part of ninjutsu dealing with illusion and deception, I'm not talking about the actual combat. Jiujutsu especially is pretty much like "see enemy, break enemy's joints, win fight."
