So that's 3, 1 (unsure), 3, 2, 2? Hopefully ARR expansion starts with introducing 3 new jobs, or a major update introducing 1 job and then 2 jobs at expansion.

Now that I think about it, that's quite a few jobs pre zilart (6 basic, 5 unlocks). Maybe some of them were from updates.
It's been too long...but I think Summoner was before Zilart. I vaguely remember it being close to what Arcanist is now, a Carby Wrangler. At the very least I know you can unlock the job without the Zilart expansion activated. Chains of Promathia had *zero* jobs added, it was all story and it wasn't very well received at first, depending on which crowd you were in. You're right about the others.
