Most of them are more or less outdated, but here is the whole list I had prior to the launch of Stormblood:

Tanks
Viking (shield and halfspear, mix of melee and lightning attacks)
Green Mage (hammer, based around ancient Dravanian lore)
Sorcerer (caster tank loosely designed off of Morpher from FFTA)
Hoplite (shield and dory, inspired by Greek/Spartan soldiers)
Dancer (polestaff, periodic shielding as quasi-evasion tanking system)

Melee
Blue Mage (*points to sig*)
Puppeteer (faux-pet job, "pet" does 100% of damage)
Charioteer (inspired by class from Bravely Second, designed around alternating through weapons)

Physical Ranged
Ranger (dual crossbows, mechanical re-imagination of Bard without songs)
Juggler (single dagger, goal of better comic relief from a job and job questline)
Agent ("secret agent" theme, inspired mechanically by Rift's Saboteur subclass)

Spellcasters
Merchant (job designed around a Wealth resource system, focused on indirect damage)
Reaper (answer to what the closest thing to a Necromancer-type job would be in FFXIV)
Sage (concept experiment to see if a job could revolve around manipulating a single spell)
Geomancer (caster with a rotation based around the Wu Xing)
Time Mage (caster designed around manipulating dots and delayed effects)

Healers
Performer (song-based healer built around increasing received healing on allies)
Grenadier (based off of Chemist, added a bazooka)
Saint (healer that deals melee damage, left it somewhere here on the forums)
Noble (fire-based healer because pyromaniacal girlfriend wanted a Disney princess job)
Physician (Othardian-themed healer built around manipulating periodic healing effects)

Non-Combat
Scavenger (DoL, designed around gathering leather and other items found off of monsters)
Antiquarian (DoH, specialized in making "artifacts", was still a work in progress)
