The original concept class was "Thief" in just about every RPG on the market. Â But that name has the negative connotation of someone who steals private property. Â Obviously a bad thing in a capitalistic society.
Therefore the Politically Correct term is now "Rogue" which is more of a scoundrel and less of an out-right criminal.
It's true that all the other FF games have featured thief in some form or the other -- but the rogue is just this world's form. Doing it differently for once doesn't mean they're doing it wrong, even if it doesn't match up to our expectations and logic. They write the world, their word is law. Who knows, there may be some cultural reason they can't do it this time around and are using an in-universe reason as an excuse.
I think it'd be wise for us to lay down our expectations and go forward with an open mind. That way, we can truly enjoy whatever they bring us!
