Maining a job you don't find the class fantasy particularly appealing?

[Kacho_Nacho]

My main gripe with Ninja in FFXIV is that its base class is Rogue. Thief is just as much of an iconic job in the FF series as Ninja.

I know I know... in FFI Thief upgrades to Ninja, but in other titles they have also both existed as separate identities, including FFXI (the other MMO) and FFVI.

I just wish the Thief/Rogue could have been a separate job.

Me also. I loved the rogue storyline until you were assigned to to learn ninja skills. It felt tacked on.
