Concerning Y'shtola and the Live Letter

[Wyssahtyn]

Should she not be known for her mastery of conjury and not white magic?

[Anonymoose]

Either, or neither. She's always had a rather eclectic set of skills as a result of having a Sharlayan education and the tutelage of Matoya. She's never quite fit into any of the rigidly-taught schools of magic we experience as players. She had that bubble dome back in the reveal trailers in 2009/2010! We've also seen her block and vaporize bullets with her hands and create the illusion that there's like a dozen of her standing in a circle around you.

Would that explain why her class might be referred as Witch?

I think that's more because they are trying to avoid using jobs that evolve from classes for the trusts, maybe.

Not to mention Thancred was a bard (lowercase b), a Gladiator, a Rogue, and now a Gunbreaker. But he still uses skills like the Ninja teleport as a trust.

Urianger uses Aetherial Manipulation as an AST as well.

NPCs just don't conform to our class system.

Which makes sense. For example, if you were a Thaumaturge and started learning how to use a bow, you wouldn't suddenly forget every spell you learned.

This was actually referenced in the MSQ whe they first meet Yugiri first arrived in Eorzea and Thancred first began weilding a 2nd blade when going after Leviathan. He is just that adept at learning various skills.

Thancred was a Gladiator for in-game purposes only & was never stated to be such a thing. This is because until 2.3 knifes & daggers were associate with Gladiators. He was never seen using a gladiator stance and was just shown using their throwing knife skill from 1.0.

He did occasionally use gladiator stance though - in the early-game battle for the Ul'dahn storyline, and in the first part of the cutscene where he officially switches to rogue.

We just never got many opportunities to see him in battle instances during ARR.

Yoshi p also said she has turned to black magic to fight the light. So she has willenly done this.
