The ROG dissonance~

Same with Lancer. You go from guardians of the black shroud to dragon killers.
And Marauder. You go from pirates to berserk-prone fighters

Gladiators go from pit fighters to holy knights, archers go from shooting arrows to magic songs. Only the casters really follow the theme directly, they just go from caster to caster with FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE! Scholar is the only caster job in ARR that isn't some flavor of illegal.

Tbh the Paladins aren't that holy in the lore other than visual of their magic. They're literally a personal royal guards, more knight than templar. It's just that Knight didn't sound as cool for a job as Paladin.

I DO NOT GET IT.

Its a homage to Final Fantasy 1, where Thief evolves into Ninja, that's it, that's all you need to get.

Fwiw, they are making Viper to address the complaint of Rogue to Ninja, although its dual swords, leather long coats and flash stepping, so its not any less weeb.

I've always wanted them to go back and slowly give the classes their own playstlye. I'd like an Archer class that doesn't deal with songs. I'd like the Arcanist Dot class without summons. I'd like Pugilist with all it's positionals ect. Almost double the jobs whilst not relying on coming up with new ones.

Honestly, they could just have Rogue as alternative to Ninja, that plays the exact same but having different animations would be a really fair compromise for me at least.

But I get it, even in Tactics, you needed thief to upgrade to ninja which was better in every way.
They used to have a lot more rogue themed skills back in the day but almost everything got replaced like the kiss of the viper venom stances...

I'm going through with something like this with ARC. Dissonance I mean.
