I see a sort of 'viking' under the paladin (the roegadyn one)...? :0

Looks like a Samurai to me.

Since when do Samurai's use 2 handed axes?

[Sephrick]

Holy's theories based on the drawing and other tidbits:

LNC > DRG (general DRG styling, but is close to DRK, yet still carries a polearm weapon I believe to be a Guisarme)
MAR > WAR (warriors wield axes in previous FF, + red accents)
PUG > MNK (obvious)
CON > WHM (skill set, multiple raise tiers etc)
ARC > BRD (harp embedded in bow)
THM > BLM (skill set and in-game lore)
GLD > PLD (obvious)

This sounds about spot on.

They're supposed to release their intended list of new and shuffled abilities for classes when 1.19 is released so they can get player feedback for 1.20. I wouldn't be surprised to see nukes moving to THM to make it more logically in line with BLM.

It looks a little more "Roman" to me than Viking. Still, as MRD will most logically be WAR when jobs come, it seems to fit either way.

Looks more like the Corsair kinda pirate get up... least I'm pretty sure he's wearing a jack coat and a tri-corn hat.

p.s.

After looking at the higher resolution picture, it doesn't look as much like a tricorn as I thought and I do see more of the roman look you point out... perhaps a Berserker type, mixing Roman armor with Germanic fur/hide clothing.

The problem with this concept is the lore behind conjurers. Here is a quote from Zam about Conjurer's guild

"The arms of the conjurers are gifts from the bosom of nature, and they enable us to enact her will by imbuing us with her power. The spells of our order require a soul to be cast upon, but exert their influence on those in the immediate vicinity as well. That is to say, we thrive when our enemies and allies are numerous and nearby. We command the six elements to enhance our friends' strengths, as well―another gift for which we are oft sought out. The manipulation of natural forces taxes the mind. We have our own techniques for refreshing ourselves, and aetheryte is available to us as well, but you must know your mind's limitations."

Personally I don't care if CON or THM lead to WHM, but I have been struggling with this ever since the jobs were announced. If CON lose their nukes, it will contradict the lore but if they become WHM which is likely it doesn't make much sense for the WHM to have the nukes. Not sure which way they will go.

On jobs you will lose certain class skills. They will most likely lose DD skills in favor of skills that help better heal and protect the party, making that job more efficient in a party situation.

Ps, I wouldn't call any conjuror spell a nuke, lol.

And for lore, every class will have new lore to intertwine with the existing lore. Lol at glad and palidinfor instance. The only similar thong is they both use a sword.

I'm thinking jobs will have their own lore that transitions from the originating class. As others have suggested, maybe some of the lore for White Mage is that you lay down your offensive magic in favor of more potent healing spells. For Thaum > Black Mage maybe the Black Mages are a branch that focus specifically on the death aspect in terms of magic. My point being that the lore of the jobs doesn't have to follow the lore of the originating class 100%. They are separate entities for all intents and purposes.
