Haha well we have Thal's balls so may as well have Enchanted too!

Wakka was fun, so a job around that could be interesting. Perhaps they could have a combo system, build up with attacks and then launch a 'grand dunk'. Probally have some really cool animations too.

Names are not a very good description, just look at Sage, the old Sage is completely different gameplay-wise then its FF14 counterpart. So instead of names, I would like to say what mechanics I would like the jobs to have.

Tank: Using a spear and a shield, Valkire style that also wields Ice aspected magick.
Healer: I would like something like DNC, but instead of over-buffing your dance partner you apply heals through damage.
Melee: Something with a whip, probably close to how Ranjit plays.
Magic DPS: I would like something like a disease mage, applying dots and inflicting status effects on the enemy.
Ranged DPS: Something like a Blitzball player from FFX, I always thought it would be extremely funny to just hit my enemy in the face with a ball.

Blitzball job and runeknight need to get into the game, desperately. But looking at job balance, I dunno about that one.

I think a Beastmaster would be fun. Kinda like the one from FFTA. I say FFTA and not FFTA2: Grimoire of the Rift because the FFTA version was more badass in my humble onion lol

or Chocobo Knight. that'd be hilarious XD

but should Chocobo Knight be a tank or DPS? hmm...

I'd also say Geomancer but Monk's kinda like Geomancer anyway. I think???

All joking aside, the other ones are pretty good suggestions lol

(I do kinda wish SGE leaned more into the kardia aspect of its kit instead of being a SCH clone though)

I would like a real support job. Not a "I'm DPS but I have this one ability to help" job...REAL support.

Maybe a Calculator? Not sure how that would transition from Tactics to here.

Time Mage seems like a good idea too. I do vaguely remember them saying no more traditional FF jobs and from here on out they will be original.

Would prefer them to work on the jobs we have already than start a new one. Healers are uninspired and require some love. Ranged and casters need to be rethunk on what they contribute.

I really want a Mystic Knight spell blade tank that plays akin to SAM where you build Enfire, Enblizzard, and Enthunder charges then unleash them all together for a big attack.

Longsword and magic DPS class.
It is such an obvious and popular trope and yet there isn't one we can play?
As it stands, if I want to use a sword I have to play a Samurai (which is cool but also a very different class fantasy) or I have to be a tank and die of boredom.
Red mage doesn't count.

Names are probably going to be related to something more FFXIV centric and less generic as they are moving away from the traditional FF Jobs.

Two-handed DPS (more big weapons), Dual wielding Tank, Dual shield Tank (such character already exists), Wand+Scrolls Caster, Whatever the Inkmage/seal using casters there's already been some in story/bozja. etc.

They have a lot of options, but my biggest wish is role overhaul, as it is everything aside from some DPS are starting to get seriously same-y.
