My guesses.
Yoshi-P said he wasn't fond of the way SCH and SMN ended up with their split, so we may no longer see splits from classes into jobs. They may just give each job a base class, or even start making Jobs unlocked from multiple Jobs being leveled (with the new Job starting at level 1).

And who else hopes that the Samurai when added will be a counter tank, with their main source of enmity being countering enemy moves for a set % of damage being thrown back at them?
