Ninja, do we need it?

[Jennestia]

If they do add it, I really hope that Utsusemi is class-specific.

I would love for SE to give me the freedom to not level a job that I have no interest in, just so I can still get party invites.

This happens with XIV already kinda -- you're expected, as a DoW to level Lancer, Pugilist, Archer, Marauder and Gladiator to an extent no matter which one is your "Main", much like DoH you level all of them to an extent as well. This is equivalent of having a 'subjob' from XI so if I invited your Marauder for example, I expect you to have at least the first 20-25 or so rank ability from each that would benefit you.

This is why they're looking into changing the classes really.

this forever

I like the aesthetic of a ninja class, though its role as a tank in xi kind of made me go "what".

so i'm in the yes ninja, but not as a tank class.

[Zkieve]

i had the most fun in ffxi while playing nin on hard situations or duo with a rdm hard battles.
So yea i would welcome it .

Ah, I see. Thanks for the info! My DoW is nearly non-existent, my main combat class is DoM (and even at that, my time is mostly spent on DoH stuff)--so I wasn't aware that was happening.

I'm glad they're looking into changing it--I just don't see the fun in having choices (like which abilities you want to use) when the community dictates the choices for you.

[Rentahamster]

Don't care about Ninja.

But, I do want to have dual wield.

The class "Assassin" is already in the dats, which sounds like a Theif/Ninja hybrid to me. Fencer is included as well.

Judging by Yoshi-P's letters, it seems he prefers to fix/adjust current systems before implimenting new content (which I agree with), so it might be a while before the extra classes are actually unlocked...

If it makes you feel any better, I can guarantee I will have as hard a time waiting for them to unlock Mystic as most of you will have waiting for Ninja...

[Malakhim]

We'll probably be getting "Assassin" given the .dats, which says they'll be using "dark arts" and I forget what type of weapon, and it makes sense that we'll get some type of samurai, given that it'd be dumb of SE NOT to include a great katana class. I hope it's more "ronin" than actual samurai though. Can't stand SAM armor...

And a lot of people are against bringing back blink tanking.

[Evangela]

I need!

Ninja & Samurai... such a cool stuff

and they're unique

[Vackashken]

Need, no. Want, yes.

[Issachar]

Ninja was overrated in XI, so no thanks to that. Do something unique with it if you're gonna put it in XIV.
