I realize that in FF1, THF turned into NIN. However, since then, THF has been presented as a job all its own, with its own abilities and personality. Even for me personally, I know a number of people who want to switch to THF as soon as it comes out, and would be crushed if it was relegated to "class" status.

Ideally, I'd think we'd get a "Rogue" class as the base, and have it branch into Thief and Ninja respectively. That way Ninja could use weapons that Rogue and Thief couldn't, and honestly there's not much weird about a Ninja trying to use anything they can get their hands on as a weapon.

Thank you for your consideration.
