Given how long you expect the game to last, what further jobs do you expect would be worth adding?
In what order would you add them, and how (if needed) would you set aside space for their identities?
How would the overall rosters be diversified / what thematics or identities would each job hold in a completed lineup?
Reserved for example.
While I think it's important for SE to adapt based on player demand, I have compiled a desired wish list. It will be broken down into categories. Jobs listed under each category are in alphabetical order. There is some personal bias regarding the category that certain jobs land under as well as their assigned weapon type.
At rate of two jobs per expansion, which are released every two years, it will take approximately fifteen years to implement everything on this list.

Names are a bit boring, and personally I think some jobs are a bit redundant and I'd like to see some jobs have different roles, but I'd love to see some of these jobs
i can see merit in some of the job selection tho i feel some jobs might be a reskin of current jobs just as a different role
Blue Mage dual weild scimitar tank Jobs. trait allowance int into health and increase ability dodge attack avoidance tanks.
Beast master whip pet tamer and raise with focus on dps
Geomancer healer job focus healer.
4 expansion
Puppetmaster migrate tank with transfer damage and debuff to the pet
Ranger range crossbow focus on traps posions and diseases dps jobs
With potentially three more expansions due, and no chance of more than 2 jobs per expansion, I don't see us getting more than 6 more jobs.
Personally I'd like:
Tank: Magitek Knight, gunblade or gun hammer weilder with some spellblade/blue magic flavour.
Healer: Geomancer or Arithmetician with some geomancer flavour.
Maiming: Breaker, heavy armour, hammer/mace wielding dps to share gear with DRG
Scouting: Dancer, shares gear with NIN, but is functionally a melee support class like BRD, but with more focus on debuffing.
A caster would be Blue Mage
For a tank i really want a Rune Fencer but we dont have magical resistances here for some reason so is kinda "useless"
For melee DD i want something with a scythe
For range DD either a crossbow or a dual pistol gunner
As for healer i want a tp front line healer kinda like dance like that concept.
Job I'd Personnally like in order for each role
TANK : Blue Mage, Judge (Magitech)
DPS: Time Mage (Dot heavy + support), Geomancer, Beast master (Actual pet job)
HEAL : Potion master (chemist), anything, anything, anything, anything, Dancer....
what is actual pet job
when i think beastmaster i kind think a job where you train and fight at sid your pet and raise it happy so it fight with you. I aslo think pet lvling system and loyal system and taming is this what you mean Sylvian
plus with pet have mind of it own have improve AI system.
i think ffxiv need work pet AI system first
By actual pet job I mean something where you do more than sending your pet on AA throughout the fight like the current summoner does.
Removing the pet from the SMN kit would barely change the way you play the job. Just teach SMN radiant shield / contagion and allow it to proc ruin4 from dots tick and it's 95% of what the current summoner is.
I would like a job where you actually manage the pet.
As a side note, I would like SMN to be reworked with more demibahamut like spells. (imo) this is what à summoner is about, à powerful being comes for a short period of time, deal high dmg then leave. Demibahamut is the closest thing we have from what summoer should be
as pet job I like system where you fight side by side with your pet be range or close in person the beauty of ffxiv is some place one can tame pets if this was add.
dungeon and deep dungeon and The Diaden
