No Arrows in ARR?!

Pretty much every Ninja lore in media (especially older) they require tools of some kind to preform ninjutsu or for a lot of their attacks lol.

Not in Lore that treats Ninjitsu more like Magic of some kind. It usually requires you read from a scroll of some kind, and voila you can now use it!

Even on the magical end they still tend to need some kind of catalyst through either chanting or glyphs (including hand signs), so it's still a type of tool that's used, doesn't always mean consumable though.

Well it is possible perhaps Ninjutsu magic will be "elemental"/chakra based. Like instead of using a pool of mana they could have a pool of chakra. If we take the original NIN into account then the NIN could have the chakra of Fire/Water/Thunder, with another class/job that could cover the chakra of Earth/Ice/Wind.

The concept could basically be instead of mp, the would have 3 chakra reserves 99/99/99 Fire/Water/Thunder, the basic elemental spells would only use one chakra type while other spells like enfeebles/enhancements would use two chakra reserves.

For example mirage could be a combination of both fire/water chakra, in the sense that the 10 fire chakra combined with the 5 water chakra overpowers the water turning it into water vapor which can then be manipulated to imitate the idea of a second image being made of the user.

But ya I would say most likely there will be no consumables in the game if they are making this chance to ARC so odds are they could just create different concepts when creating new classes/jobs to keep the uniqueness of them without having to stress out peoples inventories.

Based upon the Chinese elements (and the jutsu was used in FFTA for NIN), it's Metal, Wood, Earth, Fire, Wind, Water.
