Yes because we all remember how often we saw Ninjas throwing shuriken and using the wheel - oh wait.


I'm hoping this time around they will have NIN go back to using MP like Edge did, because otherwise Utsusemi will be ridiculous - no recast + tools = OP. At least there's no Haste in XIV to abuse dual wield this time around.

I wonder if Shuriken will be done as a chakram/boomerang type weapon? (non-consumable) or if we'll get to actually throw weapons again. Probably not, and while that was a good way to deal huge damage in the offline games, eh... I don't fancy tossing out level 48+ weapons at mobs when I could be selling them or turning them into materia lol.
