Which job seems the most 'relevant' to the main storyline?

[Theodric]

WAR followed by DRG if we take the cinematics into account. I suspect that 4.0 will have the guy in the cinematics switch to a third job, too, which makes much more sense than him miraculously being able to do everything already.

If im right, i think Yoshi said that we might see Derplander being a samurai this time, or was at least one of the posibilities.

I'd even go so far to say it's plausible. It was a tossup between SAM and DRK for 3.0, and seeing as NIN was just added in 2.4 they didn't want to include another Eastern flavored class so soon, so they went with DRK.

... and I'd be fine with SAM in 4.0, as long as it's combat aesthetic is similar to Vergil. (I'll keep to my idiom of running the story as a DRK in my iconic red Chaos suit, but y'know...)

That'd be neat. I'm hoping we only get one new class this time around and if so showcasing whatever it is makes the most sense to help build hype.

Actually, just recently Yoshi-P said in an interview that getting 3 new jobs out for 3.0 took a lot out of his team, and that it might be unreasonable to expect this number from every expansion. That seems to give the indication that there might be less than 3 in 4.0.

I might be okay with this if they add more classes as an expansion goes on, rather than at the start. We have a lot of DoW DPS classes, but only 2 DoM DPS classes, and it's pretty sad. Granted I'd also like to see a DoM Tank and a DoW Healer (Red Mage and Dancer respectively). Add in Blue Mage as a DoM DPS addition and I'd be happy for an expansion. After that, I'd want to see a Caster DPS added each expansion.

There's been allusions to Dancer previously in a live letter. Samurai, Red Mage and Blue Mage are virtual certainties, it's just a matter of when they do it. I foresee Red Mage being a consolidation of the traditional concept with the runic knight, i.e. a fencer of sorts that weaves in black and white magic spells. I agree though, there's a definite need for more caster dps at this point, whether ranged or not. I'd also like to see a healer that doesn't use the aether, e.g. an alchemist that fuses potions. Finally, a tamer/hunter type class, perhaps using whips, although they may reserve that for blue mage. This article has some decent suggestions. A gunblade class is mentioned in the comments, too, which I would not mind.

Samurai is an 100% thing
Red Mage is highly possible..

why wouldnt be a 3rd job?


Where did they said that doing 3 jobs took loot of time and might to repeat that again? I read all interviwes and i dont remember such thing.

I believe it was at one of the LIVE letters he mentioned that, but I clearly remember it being said indeed that they (probably) wouldn't do 3 jobs anymore at once at the start of the next expansion, as it took a lot of resources.
