2. I look at the job history in totality and see how it lines up. If a representation is enough of a significant fork then it's basically a new job, even if it shares a name. I wouldn't call Scholar (FFTA2) the same thing as Scholar (FFXIV) just because they share a name, that's patently absurd.

3. Ultimately none of your arguments on Astrologian or Gunbreaker as being old jobs make a lick of sense. They're basically invented whole cloth for this game.

1. Really? So you're saying, for instance, that Black Mage has zero consistent (if not constant) abilities across all of its incarnations? None, at all? You really need to play more games then or pay attention in them if you think that's the case. Especially when what I'm talking about is more along the lines of a theme. Nowhere did I say "they had to be the exact same" so you're just creating a strawman. Surprising (not).

1. Except that the category is "Magic Ranged" not simply "Magic".

2. Another Physical Ranged job is on the list of jobs to add certainly, yes.

3. Presumably Limited Jobs don't count towards this. If they do then it's kind of hard to say what they'll do.
