Did you know that you can
do more than 1 quote per post? Dont need to multi post for the same thing over and over lol. Although i havent been reading any of it in the first place so meh.
Won't work, the biggest problem with ninja in XI was with Utsusemi, the timing between the two spells was close enough that you could avoid constant damage, and this became Nin's ONLY value: you couldn't play the job as a DD, you couldn't fight at range, and the elemental wheel was only viewed in regards to it's use in gaining hate. The community had decided that you were a tank, whether you wanted to be or not.
You are proposing a skill tree system that goes down specific paths. The problem with that is that people will decide one aspect is superior to all others, and decide that if you play a branch that does not adhere to the popular view of the job, you are a fail ninja. Worse, the job is declared useless because no one can decide what role the job fits into.
Argh!.... You do realize that ninja's and Samurai's are staples in FF lore. It's not all about FFXI I wish people would stop bringing up FFXI when others want a Ninja and Samurai in the game. I want my Samurai back as well and chances are high we will get them. One, its an Asian company they will have their Asian heritage represented in the game. Two, no one knows the new lore for 2.0 yet, its a reboot, so don't speak so hastily and say there is no lore for Ninja's and Samurai.
And its not planet earth, they don't have to come from the east. They could have an underground city/lair under the New Ul'dah for all we know. Also, the rest of the northern area of Eorzea could have their lore represented there. We haven't even explored up North like we should have, because of the restructuring of the game. That whole area is unknown to us, except for the lore we know now, and having 2.0 approach just adds more open windows to be discovered.
Yoshi is not gonna mess this up. He and the team are doing a great job with the old game now. Just imagine what the new game is going to bring to the table. I'm hyping myself up, because the faith is there, because it is impossible for them to go downhill, from what we are playing now.

I love ninja and samurai guys but I have have to agree with the Galka (-tail) above!
As FFxiv is suppose to be "high-fantasy" not even middle earth lore can pull eastern arts and tradition warfare out their asses! There needs to be origins and expansions and when the devs do things right and tell their story correctly, I think we'll be able to foresee the coming of these special classes which will follow with new roles and jobs.
I'm a classic admirer of RPGs and following STORY, not just battle systems and abilities. Part of the adventure lays in a balance of roles where everyone has a chance to play a part(whether you live or you die). Noone should over-shadow anyone else or be over-powered and I think throwing Sam and Nin into the picture now while lead to a corrupted view of their roles.
Ninjas IMO would NOT tank(or ever should, for the luv of the 12!) Instead, the whole goal is to seek an opening to your enemy and deal Crits and avoid hate(at any cost/ you'll die) Crits in a sense compared to sneak attacks and high spike dmg(but you need to follow combo rules(or ninjas wouldn't do any more dmg than a pld,lol)
Sams can be another DD class/job an focus on combos+ combos+ magic bursts(++magic dmg for mage classes)
