Interesting critique coming from a guy who bases half his entire argument against the inclusion of male Viera on interview made in the 2.0 era six years ago. After all, if you think that Yoshida can tease his long term plans for the Viera six years ago you should have no problem thinking he can also tease a class he wants to include for that long also.
I said it was a stretch, not that it definitively wasn't the case. I'm of the opinion it was more likely coincidence instead of a deliberate attempt to tease a job, because as a job tease it's a pretty bad one considering he used moves and animations he and every other garlean who has a gunblade uses, so he showed us absolutelty nothing that we havent already seen before, unlike the other past job teases that have always showed something new. Of course, there also was no in game tease for Dark Knight or Machinist, nor technically Astrologian as the astrologians we had encountered weren't even the same thing we got. So they don't have the best track record for always teasing future jobs.

But hey man, not my fault you don't like what Yoshida said even if it was long ago, he stuck true on how he would do blue mage for close to the same amount of time and that was also an unpopular decision.
