So no more job additions for this expansion?

i have a feeling they are reaching the "wall" for new class now. yoshi etc always try to make a new class something different, at the very least the new class must have its own unique playstyle.

and as far as DNC and GNB, i think only DNC capture that, GNB doesnt feel that much different from other tank class.

I disagree with this greatly.
Aside from the skills that makes a tank....well a tank.
GNB Plays very different from the other tanks, they play more akin to a dps.

So that's probably why you think it plays the same as other tanks because they have Defense cooldowns and dnc being a dps doesn't really need things like that.
Its easier to make a dps play way different from eachother than something like Healers and Tanks since they need things that make them what they are.

i'd rather have male viera and female hrothgar implemented rather than receive another slap in the face like Blue Mage

I am going to argue with you there. While tanks and healers need certain things to make them what they are, the method on how they deliver these things can be extremely different and varried. For example, you could have a tank that mitigated damage via heavy armor. You could have a tank that had evasion abilities like Ninja/War worked in FFXI, etc. Healers can heal with direct heals, barriers, HoTs, life transferance, damage converted to healing, etc. SE just decidedto make a dichotomy out of healing and thus you have the problem they are having with healer balance right now. AST borrows too heavily from WHM and SCH that you can't balance its healing/cards without affecting one of the other 2 jobs negatively. If SE had changed AST to heal in a different way using Diurnal and Noctournal sect, they might have an easier time balancing them without obliterating everything unique and fun about the jobs.
