Geomancer has enough history in Final Fantasy to be considered a classic job.

Altogether with how it's being teased and treated now, Geomancer reminds me a lot of how Arcanist was treated back in 1.0
Point being, don't get any hopes up. Geomancer didn't appear in XI until the very last pair of new jobs after (arguably) many people already moved on/ jumped ship.You can hope for the best, but prepare for the worst and in this case Geomancer not being added as a playable job by the next expansion or beyond is a very real possibility. Don't forget other "classic" jobs such as Blue mage, Dancer, Chemist and even Beastmaster are in demand and by 5.0 some people are going to be disappointed (again). To add to that I remember Yoshi saying he wants to add a new job next expansion that is unique to XIV, which would take away a spot for people hoping for a "classic" job.
