The name for Marauader in Japanese is just Axe User. All of the names in Japanese are just "Weapon Name User"I'm not in favor of any changes to the names of the current classes. I actually like the name and the concept of each Class, regardless of the connections to Jobs in FFXI. The level of customization and creativity that I can put into building my Marauder class is fun to me because I don't feel like I'm forced to play or develop into a specific role.
The Class system, in addition to the swapping of actions, adds much more customization and exploration of battle tactics than would be available if everything changed to the Job system in FFXI. I'm able to tinker with different actions for different situations, on the fly, to get rapid results. The change either had an effect on battle, or it didn't. Having the actual name of the class changed to "Warrior" is purely aesthetic and does not affect game mechanics at all.
The argument against the above is probably "Then the name 'Marauder' is purely aesthetic as well." And you're right, it is. And it's also more specific to me than just "Warrior". A Warrior in FFXI could use multiple arms, with some having a higher rating for effectiveness than others. It was too generic for my taste.
For FFXIV, there's something about the specificity of using an Axe and Francisca to engage in combat; with the Action customization being open to my imagination. It's much more fun to me and goes beyond even the limitation of Job/Subjob, which is only two options. With the current system, I can have 5 options. Much more fun to me.

I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.
