What would it being a Job actually do, though? If we have an actual farm, then you're a farmer regardless of what Job you're on. Depends how the farms they're adding work, but I'm not sure what benefit a Farmer Job would provide given this addition.

Don't get me wrong, I wanted a 4th DoL Job that effectively was some form of Farmer basically since 2.0. I could imagine it having monsters as gathering nodes to get materials that are currently obtained through slaughter (harvest meat/bone/etc. off corpse based nodes, wool by sheering living animal nodes, etc.), but giving us an actual Farm that we can hopefully do anything with? That could potentially be a lot better and makes the need for such a Job redundant. Very much doubt we'll see something on the level of a game like Stardew Valley, probably best to check the system FFXI has to get an idea for what they're adding, but IDK... If you want to be a Farmer, spend a lot of time working on your Farm and enjoying that content, I hope that's what I'll be doing. They could always give it a level system similar to Free Companies that can be a surrogate Farmer level.
