While I get what you are trying to say, the point #2 is not really possible. Guilds are for "classes" Archer will get a job and the musketeer class when it is added will get it's own job. Archer does not unlock musketeer since it will be a class, not a job. (If we assume that the guilds are the classes).

Read again then, if you dont get it. I asked "What about Archer -> Musketeer?". I didnt say IT WILL BE that way.

Guilds are Classes:Atm, Yes.
Archer does not unlock musketeer since it will be a class, not a job: Confirmed where?

Like i said.. there is a lot of Room for Speculation. Of Course Musketeer could be a Class of its own and a Job which could be connected to Musketeer, could be "Corsair". But also it could change, since this Game is changing its Basics. We will know as soon as the Patchnote is around.

I agree that nothing is confirmed or set in stone, that is why I said "not really possible" since you got to agree that according with the facts that we have, guilds are classes so it is safe to assume that musketeer and arcanist are classes yet to be added and that they will unlock jobs. Archer will most likely NOT unlock musketeer as a job with the info that we have right now.

Didn't say you were wrong or that you were stating facts but there is no point in speculating on things that are most likely not probable. Game basics are changing yes, but the classes remain and are tied tot he armoury system. Each guild is linked to a type of weapon (figthing), in JP a gladiator is a "sword user" they do not have fancy names. So I think we can assume that they will keep their foundation for classes and that Jobs will not have seperate guilds.

It doesn't have to be confirmed. It is in the Limsa main scenario. Musketeer and Archanist are their own class. You are introduced to them and their guilds in the beginners story line. They are just not implemented yet. If Archer was the base class for Musketeer, it wouldn't have it's own guild in Limsa.
