Viper Changes are good, actually

[KazumaFaemura]

You're think about his RPG turn base combat game play which was a normal Rogue class/job.

They based Viper's design on Zidane style more from his Dissidia games involving how he separates and fuse his daggers together.

They obviously modified certain aspects since they cannot use daggers and to avoid having the battle stance looking too much like Rogue/Ninja battle stance.

Oh right I completely forgot about Dissidia's existence. That's fair enough then.
