The thief/rogue has always been lacking in combat ability, in both final fantasy and pathfinder. If you want better combat you should prestige into ninja, and maybe take the assassin archetype. Thief is cool for utility purposes. Though, thinking about it, Vil's thief doesn't have a "run fast" ability or a "run away" ability, does it. (I'm thinking of 5, where the thief has both). The PF ninja has a smokebomb ability that could probably be used to flee, but it runs on ki (btw, have you thought about distributing the non-ki ninja tricks to the thief? Since your ninja doesn't get them).
I might make a +10 ft. To base speed thief talent, and a followup talent that increases his speed even further if he uses it to withdraw, once I have more time. I'll look into it.
Also, I was looking at the thief and I realized that Minor Magic doesn't specify a 1st level spell. So, uh, that ones my bad and I suggest you specify that it has to be a 1st level spell.
Oh, and to be clear, the thief still has pretty impressive damage potential. Probably not the best since Vil's system has improved Power Attack, but still decent. It's a bit lacking in other combat areas, but I think the mobility and stealth benefits, as well as Vil's theft abilities, makes it a perfectly fine class.
