Pilfer (Thief-inspired Overhaul Mod for NIN) Animation & VFX 

I love the use of Rikku's mix ability to replace the mudras. Fits perfectly tbh

Ten Chi Jin being a box of grenades you grab from for the duration is a fantastic idea.

_It is actually a really interesting way to diversify characters within FFXIV, but giving them the option of aesthetically different, but functionally the same, moves._

I kinda like this bc even as you’re going through the game as “ninja” with said teachers, the fact we *began* with thief/rogue techniques should show in how we fight, so having other thieves of the series in our movements is great.

Replacing the Mudras with preparing grenades and getting bunny hat as blowing yourself up is incredibly clever! Fantastic redesign!

As someone who wasn't big on going from the typical thief rpg archetype to the naruto ninja I absolutely love your work

Its the sound effects for me, they actually sound impactful which I love

always wanted that Rogue story quest, we went from Rogue to ninja but... idk just felt like thieves were left out of the equation :3

as a ninja main who always wanted to be more theif/pirare-esque, i need this mod. i *need* this mod. ive been using papachin's and they're awesome, but not the vibe i desire. this? THIS?! THANK YOU. YOU ARE DOING THE WORK OF GODS WITH THIS

you are really really good at making the vfx minimalistic while being beautiful and full of flavor. The vfx is clean and not oversaturated or excessive compared to other mods i see.

Thank you for making ninja playable.

Excellent job! What a great time to have this with Dawntrail and all the pirate and Caribbean stuff on the horizon.

As a longtime ninja main I love this! The changes to the abilities and animations are all such cool replacements, and the change to using Mix over the mudras is just brilliant. I also wanna say, you strike the absolute PERFECT balance between having cool effects without being too loud visually. You're easily my favorite modder and your work always seems to set a new bar and never disappoints!

This is so good. I just recently found your works and I have to say, they look fantastic. This is so comprehensive and incredibly put together.

This is incredible. I really love seeing these variations of jobs on what it'd be if the job had taken a different path. Amazing work on all of those animations!

Gooooossshhh, this is so AWESOME! And I absolutely love the alchemic route you took with those grenades!

Holy shit, Junjou. You did it again! I've been watching your updates for this mod for months and I'm so impressed by all the hard work you've put into it. This looks amazing!!

I never thought a mod would make me want to play Ninja

Ever since I first saw the reveal you were working on this project I've been so so excited for it! Incredible work as always

The production value on all of this, even the demonstration video, is stellar - I've never super vibed with ninja baseline, so this is an absolute treat for me, fantastic job!

Got myself this one too! Amazing work as always Junjou!!! My friend squeed when she saw "Flim Flam"

I'm using this mod right now and it's giving me the best ff9 vibes ever, thankyou for making this you've done amazing work here!

This is my favourite vfx on the market! It's not too over the top while still looking good, and you've made it free out of your own goodwill! You have become my favourite XIV modder of all time and I can't stop playing NIN now that I feel like a level 90 ROGUE, you're the best Junjou! ❤

Wow this is well thought out and clean. TCJ is now a stash box, insanely creative!

Been following your progress on this on twitter, it looks fantastic, amazing work

this is simply amazing. I was already blown away from that early access which had some of the smoothest animation swap I've seen yet, the final one is perfect! I love the little references and nods to past FFs, great job! This'll definitely keep me engaged before another "thief" variant with Viper. LOL

Everything looks really good! Its just...incredible!

This is probably one of the most cohesive, well thought out mods I’ve seen to date. Oh my lord

I think this is by far my favorite vfx mod for a moveset I've seen ever, I just love every skill! My absolute favorite is Stash. Big ol' BOX

Your visual overhauls are always top notch!

This is AMAZING and singlehandedly fixed my greatest problem with Ninja. I understand going from Thief to Ninja, but you'd think you'd keep SOME of the fluff at least! This perfectly blends the two, with some eastern ninja martial arts and scoundrel rogue thief stuff.

This top notch work! Great job!

I love how this is more than just thief, it's also stuff like item user and similar jobs. Really gives this a great identity.

Its beautiful. Its everything I could ever hope for a more Rogue themed NIN.

THIS IS GENUINELY SO AMAZING

What an amazing idea and execution. And for free! Love ya!

We need this Yoshida!! This is amazing.

This is so cool! i love it!

This is soo sick! FF9 is my fav FF and this feels just right within 14! GREAT JOB!

Incredible work.

This is honestly amazing.

Fits perfectly within the game, incredible work.

been waiting for this, the FFX-2 references in this are so sick!

Amazing work as always! I haven't really been playing NIN cause it's not my fav aesthetic, but this might just have me back on it lol

Woah, very nice. It's a cool overhaul where I can see what is happening in game.

I’ve been loving the early access version, can’t wait to try this out. I like the tool belt sorta style of making grenades on the fly, goes great with the backpack mod I’m using.

This is awesome!! I absolutely loved Thief in FF11

I've got to admit, that looks pretty good.

another absolute banger of an overhaul

The timing is crazy, I was talking with a friend few days ago about how I hated the change from Rogue to Ninja, I'll definitely use this mod!

I'm not familiar with thieves in Final Fantasy stories- XIV was the first FF game that I'd played, but I picked up the Rogue class because I've played Rogues in other MMOs and RPGs and such, and they're my favourite class type to play. It turning into Ninja stung, was really hoping to keep with a Rogue-type Thief or Assassin style- this may just bring my love for the job as a whole back!! Absolutely fantastic work!!

I loved the ninjtsu and the LB3, definitely my favorite parts!

/clap /clap /clap! Great job as always! ♥

I have been using the betaversion for awhile now and it got me to level ninja all thw way to 80. Exited to see the full version!

YOU WENT HARD ON MIX/MUDRAS OMG

Finally. I've been waiting for this!

These finished animations have such a gremlin energy to them, I can't describe it lol, I love it

This is fantastic!

Some great work!

Very cool inspirstions, and the attacks look nice and low-key so that I'm not having a seizure every time I do my AoE combo unlike certain jobs

I really enjoy seeing so many of Zidane's abilities. Thieves need love too ♥

One of the best animation mods ever wtf

Holy crap this is amazing.

I love this so much.

This is awesome! I used it a bit now and I love it! I just wish I could use rogue animations with it but also with the flip jump.

These animations are fantastic! My only hope is that this mod will have a future build with replacement names/icons/descriptions to stay consistent with your changes.

Oh hell yeah, this is going into my FFXIV Mods playlist-

That Grand Lethal was love!

Ah, finally, my Limsan catte can have a dex class to match her aestethic! THANK YOU! ❤

It's finally here!!!

As a person who love theif but disliked the Ninja look I love this mod.

In another timeline THF is in 14 and it looks like this. Brilliant.

i really like how you're showing the most un-ninja glamours with this demo and it works perfectly, that was my biggest issue with ninja, it leaned way too hard into the ninja look up to the running and sprinting

That's pretty sick

I love this as I always use thief type glams for ninja anyway.

First of all: I love this Mod! It feels so much better to play Ninja with those animations; really thank you for that! Now with Dawntrail being released, I noticed a single bug this mod brings with it: Pictomancers lose their casting-animation for "Fire in Red" and those three motif-skills. I always wondered while doing MSQ, why Picto's aren't doing anything and just standing there... now I know why ^^" Hope it gets fixed in the near future, so that my Hroth can be a fully thief again, soon. But still: Keep up the great work :D

wow youre really amazing!

Remarkable, as always!

YES!!! I was hoping you'd throw Rikku's abilities in there somewhere! @w@

Absolutely love the looks of this mod! If you don't mind requests, would you ever be interested in changing the icons of some moves in the hotbar to match the names and moves in this modpack?

I've been using this mod for a little while and I'm in *love*. I've only one thing that slightly annoys me and it's that the running cycle of Hrothgar/Roe looks just incredibly silly. Wish it was in a good way but it's only distracting so I disabled that bit (thanks for the option!) Other than that, I love every bit of this mod, great work ^^

This is amazing, I wish Thief was the class instead of Ninja; it just felt odd going from Rogue to using Ninjutsu. I hope you update it for Dawntrail eventually too.

thanky ou for making this free

❤️‍🔥this is a great idea!

That LB3 reminds me of Fate's Jack the Ripper Noble Phantasm, [Maria the Ripper]. Only difference is that the LB doesn't take you to misty London at night

Okay so... I actually love Nin *but*... this is fantastic and I wish this were an official in-game option somehow. Very cool way to alter the flavor a class without the actual class changing.

Honestly, thematically this is really good. The Mix from Rikku, the Grand Lethal from Zidane. The only thing I wish was that it was maybe a little flashier in some areas. But other than that, it's great.

Wish SE would give us more branching jobs like they did with ACN/SMN/SCH. Something like this for Thief would be awesome!

SE need to hire you : | 10/10

Stash is so hilariously *appropriate* that I can't help but laugh.

Thank you for the animation option. I just want the LB and idle pose.

very cool

This video made me cry. I don't know if it's all the estrogen, or what.. But this mod means a lot to me. I have long wanted to pick up rogue, because I'm just so in love with thieves and rogues - but have NEVER done so, because I hate how the entire rogue identity is basically erased and replaced with Ninja - which is a completely different archetype. I grew up stealing bikes with my father, and listening to his exploits of him stealing 7 car radios in a single night as a teen. I picked up graffiti in my teens, and would roam the streets at night looking for the best place for a throwup rather than go to school early on the next day. In general I always had a knack for subterfuge ever since I was a young boy. I was also really into martial arts and would attend MANY tournaments national and international. I was incredibly dirty (though never brutal or intentionally trying to hurt someone physically) in how I won fights - often times using the very rules of the sport against opponents I had no business beating. My highschool had to completely redo their rules and regulations cause I used all the little holes in it to do whatever I wanted... and between sports and graffiti there was little time for school. School lead three separate expulsion processes against me but was never able to kick me out. I graduated and went to university anyway. I'm also the kind of person to take just about anything apart just for the sake of wanting to understand how it works. If a TV stops working, I will absolutely take it apart and try to fix it myself.. or use parts of it to build something else entirely. I also once smuggled a 50 cm Dagger I had bought abroad through customs in carry-on baggage on a Flight from Baku to Vienna in 2008 lmao. Unsurprisingly, growing up I loved videogames and heavily identified with the thief/rogue subgenre and their characters. I LOVED robin hood, and I'm a socialist with heavy communist undertones to this day. Any time I can choose an archtype, it's rogue/thief. Cause that's who I am and always have been at my core. To this day people playing board games with me mention how I will ALWAYS try to find holes in the rules and try to break the game, or play it in a fashion it was NOT supposed to be played. I am now in my thirties, transitioning (breaking the rules in a way - again) and ABSOLUTELY going to pick up Rogue, NOT Ninja. Thank you.

LET'S GOOOOO

I LOVE THIS AND I LOVE YOU.

Square Enix REALLY needs to hire some of these modders

That Locke outfit makes me want this to be official so bad

The Fortnite-Juice is nothing but great. I also love how this turns Ninja into exactly what I always wished it would be. The weebie stuff is just not my cup of tea, I just want a simple Rogue type class!

dope

Ninja is so back
