...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.
