I'm supposing your point is that if Orlandu's actually being considered as a knight, then an assasin should be considered as a ninja? Makes sense to me, and besides, since it is technically saying they are the best class, then a knight party with orlandu can still be easily outmeasured, if npc's are considered.

I personally prefer it if it was just knight (generic) vs ninja (generic) though.

I'm suprised that there's even a chance that these ninjas have against a cheat NPC character, really. Rather impressive.

I don't mean this to be offending, but Yuffie, he's the one that has the blaster punch and icewolf bite, not the assasins.

However, unless they have ribbons yes, it's pretty much unavoidable. However, they can equip 2 samurai swords (2 hands&samurai sword equippable), so I don't think that would neccessarily make them un-invincible or anything - -;;
