all jobs will eventually get a branch job.

i think if anything it will be like this
Gladiator> Paladin - Redmage
Marauder> Warrior - Dark Knight
Lancer > Dragoon - Templar (tank)
Bandit > Thief - Dancer
Pugilist > Monk - Ascetic(Tank)
Conjurer > Whitemage - Geomancer (nuker)
Thaumatrge > Blackmage - Time Mage
Archer > Bard - Ranger
Bucaneer (melee enfeebler) > Corsair (melee buffer) - Musketeer (ranged DPS)
Survivalist (high solo ability) > Blue Mage - Beast master

GLD >PLD > RDM? No way, man. I think Dr. Mog's class to jobs theory was pretty good.

think about it. what is redmage?
the marriage of sword shield white magic and black magic.

Gladiator being the only sword/shield base class, i think its spot on.
if you noticed, so far nobody has just jumped to a completely different weapon set.
Arn > SCH-SMN all use a book.

Mrd> War- both use an axe, a 2h scythe isnt a far throw away

The only one I don't get is Lancer to Samurai... I know they would definitely play similarly but aesthetically there is nothing linking them together and such a drastic weapon change makes zero sense.

Are we absolutely certain that every class will have the same amount of jobs? So far ACN will be the only one with two jobs. There are at least 3 different things in all of Final Fantasy that could go to Gladiator (PLD, DRK, RDM) and I can't think of anything besides DRG that wields a spear (Templar isn't iconic enough). Likewise, Great Katana is pretty limited to Samurai, just as dual-katana is limited to Ninja. And no, giving Samurai to Lancer probably won't satisfy SAM fans.
