    I myself was thinking that the ninjitsu magic would be status affects such as: poison, slow, hast, bio and stuff like that note i have absolutely no facts, but those types of spells seem like ninja magic.

    as for which class i will be ninja/thief

    and about the post about samurai and robes i would definitely not count on have u seen pictures of real samurai? they where big err no HUGE bamboo armor(ya kinda wierd huh)

        yeah, just cause kenshin is called a "samurai" technically he wasnt a feudal land owner, lol :p, but yes his style of fighting was the samurai type of style. And no, Samurai in this game are wearing real samurai-type armor, and most warrior armor. So far no pics of any training uniforms like you are talking about have been shown.

        I do get kind of tired of people wanting to make a kenshin rip off in the game, so sorry if i ever sound mean about it liek now :p

          MMM i am gonna go reverse on this one here I think thief/ ninja might rock mightily teh thief already has a high damage factor and ninjas usually have as well then add in the dual weilding superio to the thiefs but they would probably die if the moster were to sneeze on them

            To me i think it's al good both are good jobs and can work well with other jobs for pluses and minuses. I am so glad they put in the ninja and samurai classes. I might try out both jobs or make two characters.
            Do not fear death but don't forget it either. It remains by your side at all times. But once forgotten it jumps out to remind you of it's presence.

              Not sure but i think it depends on both weapon and attack...if you watch this video closely, the ninja in there looks as though it switches from backwards to forwards, then backwards again...either that or it's just the camera angle :sweat: Anyway, they show him about 25% of the way through the video...it's hard to tell cause he does it so fast...but watch his right hand weapon, he swings twice then it looks like he flips it around and swings it forward!?

                Before I saw this thread, I was always against ninja. Ever since I read through these posts and actually seeing a ninja in action, it has become my second most anticipated job next to Samurai.

                    I had a thing for ninja's for awhile after playing Techu 3 alot but every since then ive like Samurai alot more because of the techniques and weaponary used by them.

                      well I have ideas that I'm stuck on (ya the game comes out in a while but whatever)
                      Paladin/warrior (leaning toward this and the dark knight)
                      Dark Knight/monk
                      Samurai/ninja
                      Dragoon/redmage(the Dragoon job sounds too popular so probably not)
                      These are all the jobs that would be fun IMO

                      I will probably be the Paladin or Darknight because it's nice to be a tank or a really strong character.
                      But the samurai ninja combo seems cool too because of duel wield and ninjitsu/tp recharge. (wishes this game was out)

                        Samurai/Ninja for dual wield wouldnt do you any good, seeing as Samurai use Katana's, and tahts a 2 handed weapon.

                          Oh, then I'll probably be a Dark Knight ( I was planning to do this anyway).
                          Thanks for the info.

                            Are all katanas for FFXI considered two hand swords?It kinda depends on the users fighting style whether they use two hands or one, but its a game so I guess limits are to be expected...
                            It's not my fault that I'm stupid.....I was born this way

                                To get the full effect of a Katana, you are gonna use 2 hands with it. However, one of the most powerful strikes with a katana uses only one hand, but thats a very hard move to pull off, also it might be a Renkei or such. One thing that dissapoints me, is they use the same animation for the regular 2 handed swords, when a Katana needs much diffrent handeling to be at its full effect.

                                and yes no MMORPG to date gives you the choice of styles to fight with, with the weapon, they are all just defaulted one way.
