Guess future jobs, as well as their origins

[DamianFatale]

I would like to make Time Mage a tank mage for the first time. It would use time and space magic to create magic barriers and shields, slow/stop/heavy/pull/push enemies and mitigate damage as well as undo damage taken.

But that would mean a tank that doesn't use tank gear and FFXIV is too ingrained in having all jobs of a certain role using the same gear even if it makes no sense.

That sounds bizarre in a way that would actually work. I like your idea, but this isn’t about the roles. This is about the city states/lore origins you speculate on for each possible job.
