Could the 'hammer' emphasis maybe hint at a new WHM weapon?

GEO is a healer, and uses a Hammer. It's the next job they hadn't announced yet.

Lore-wise, isn't a GEO just either a WHM or an AST, but using the ground and not the sky as its postition for the deity... as in, it's basically either a WHM or an AST... would be an absolute massive let down for healers to literally get the same job, just with the energy coming from the ground and not the sky. I'd say that'd be an even bigger kick in the teeth than no new healer at all.

Ninjas use daggers and Samurais use katanas but they accomplish the same thing: sticking the enemy with the pointy end. Most jobs in this game are similar to other jobs but perform their actions differently.

As far as I know, DNC is an infusion of BRD and NIN. So not what I was getting at.

Ninjas are designed to be debuffers and fairly support-like, with SAM being selfish DPS. So not quite the same. Lore-wise though, GEO and AST/WHM (I can't remember which) are the exact same except for the belief of their source of energy. Which suggests they're the exact same in how they play.
