The base game should only have the jobs as the classes themselves offer no real alternative play style or advantage in most scenarios of the game. The basic stat bonuses you get from a job crystal often outshine any small advantage being able to cross class a handfull of extra skills ever will.

Chances are eventually you wont be able to be a Rogue anymore...just Ninja. But hell, what do I know chances are they will cling to the class system for unknown reasons.
Well, what if Rogue becomes a job (since Thieves are no more) and Ninja remains a job? Look at their weapons. Rogue uses daggers (the "daggers" GLA had are now converted into swords) an Ninja uses katanas. Their weapons are entirely different, yet they dual wield them.
