Are classes needed? POLL

Classes and Jobs.


Please bring assassin class then spawn thief job and ninja or if not nin, then dancer or ranger?

With NIN as a job, utsu will be unique and no other job can share NIN abilities. Also make NIN what it was meant to be, a BLM support / ranged attack. Most of it's abilities to reduce hate not earn it.



Fact.

I really really really really hope SE brings back the family tree of jobs/classes.

Well why not just make Thief the class and have Assassin be the job, being in a sense FFXIV's NIN, without being NIN? Hell they could even have nin styled gear. This would also free up the assassin context and not narrow it into the eastern themed ninja, and especially not forced into FFXI's nin, which I hated with a passion, yet one of my favorite FF characters is a ninja, go figure.

The reason why I say that is NIN throughout the series has varied somewhat game to game, broadening it a bit by giving it the name Assassin is more freeing contextually and in game play than you'd think.

Meh you already hate NIN, long before coming across my post. Like you said, NIN has varied a bit... NIN in FFXIV doesn't have to exactly resemble NIN in FFXI.

Anyways, it was just an idea.. no care to argue nor debate it.

Lol, no actually I don't really hate nin, I was just HIGHLY annoyed with how it was played in FFXI and /nin, enough to make me recreate a scene from Office Space.

I'm not against having NIN, I just think the stigma of NIN has been done to death, so lets free it up completely and lets see what the devs come up for an Assassin type in the land of Eorzea, that's all I'm saying really.

I say the same about RDM. So many people think of RDM as the squishy back line grey mage, and not it's alter ego being the front line Mystic Knight, a class I think of as being similar to Genesis from Crisis Core.
