It never occurred to me that the people on the Japanese side of things are already discussing the interview, so I searched for dengeki on the lodestone blogs, and there are a few posts discussing it:

Here's the translated info from the interview:
There's going to be one job that corresponds to each class. You do a job quest and then you get to use that job. Doesn't say which jobs are going to correlate with which classes, but I think Gladiator -> Paladin is confirmed.
Once you get that job, your job rank will be the same as your corresponding class rank. So, if you're a GLD 50 now, you'll become a Paladin rank 50.
Right now you can equip high rank skills even on low rank classes and because it's a little too much freedom, they will restrict it in order to promote more class identity and class uniqueness.
The old dev team's concept of companies as some kind of glorified linkshell may come back later. Maybe.
PS3 version is allright
