...political correctness strikes again.

There goes that "Steal Gil" flavor.

From what I saw of the video, I think it's less political correctness (since FFXI had a Thief class) and more like they couldn't figure out why in the world a city would actually want to have a Thieves Guild around that robs and steals from the local populace.

Sure, it could simply be an illegal guild that always manages to evade the local law enforcement folks, but at best it makes the Admiral look kinda shady - as though she's totally fine bumping elbows with a thieves' guild harming her citizens, or at worst she looks incompetent for doing much to root them out.

Thieves guild are the pre-Mafia organized crime organizations.Â They both organize and control the activity of thieves (through intimidation, control of fences, and violence) while using their position of power to their advantage in dealing with legitimate society (deals with guards, bribery of officials, protection rackets, etc.)Â They undoubtedly do exist, especially in Ul'dah, and could have been interestingly tapped into for game purposes. I only question whether or not one may exist in Limsa, because in Limsa the government itself is essentially an expanded organized crime enterprise and may have muscled out their competition - this may also play into the storyline, like pirates-gone-good, so have the thieves.Â But... they don't really seem to want go anywhere near villainous PCs anyway...

Finally a second class I may want to level!

Loved the info mentioned here, especially excited to use this new found motivation to help me find more time for games ive been lacking on recently and here to prep for 2.3 and more importantly Rogue/Ninja . 2 of my favorite styles outside of a good ol hand2hand and sword/greatsword wielding style.
Don't have the greatsword yet so I'll gladly settle on these new additions very happily.

Honestly i'm a bit bummed on a few things mentioned in the recent updates, personal housing rooms within free companies, and the eventual chocobo breeding using a stable on Free Company property. In all honesty tho its not an issue and my own fault for not belonging to a Free Company lol. But It means one step closer to our own homes, and added motivation to get to work on prepping lol.

Great news all around tho
