Predictions for job(s) in the next expansion?

[Seraphor]

Physical Ranged seems to be more of projectile weapons. They could do a sling I suppose? But that’s a bit different. Or some sort of shot put kind of thing. Spears have reach too but they’re still melee, and the kind of range being talked about makes really long reach hard to pull off well.

Personally I think there are only to more options for ranged weapons, Crossbows and Whips.

Crossbows could be too similar to Bards Bows, but of course they won't just base the entire job around the weapon, so it'll have further identity to distance it from Bard. What that identity is I have no idea, they'll have to be very creative. Perhaps they can somehow rope Time Mage into a non-mage job, like they did with XII's Job system.

Personally I'd rather see Whips as they're more unique, however I can see it coming with difficulty in animating several different models of Whip. So... I think this may be used for a Beast Tamer limited job, seeing as it'll only have a couple weapon options anyway.
