Predictions for job(s) in the next expansion?

[Rymi64]

For the melee DPS some will say Necromancer, I will say Reaper or Assassin with Scythe as weapon.
(The excuse Assassin can't happen because of Ninja is not valid).

The one person we've seen in 14 is ranjit and he seems pretty assassin like.... Druid like beast master? Sage makes me think of psychic with the stance and weapons

Judging by new expansion trailer, there's a fair possibility the new job will be wielding Great Scythes.

I mean we have Ranjit with an actual scythe and a beast, maybe beastmasters will be getting a scythe rather than one handed axe and shield?

We also have multiple beast masters we know about. The ones from ilsabard and the ones who get the beasts for the colosseum in uldah (even though they are more tamers) so having another "beast master" isnt so far fetched to have the basic concepts from ranjits family line in the source.

Assuming Yoshi isn't doing the 'obvious' thing, I'm gonna go with Rune Fencer being the melee job, cause those shirts are metal and Tactics Ogre was pretty metal too.

[BasicBlake]

I get the hype but aren’t those two shirts a little too obvious? I think the reaper/scythe is probably the red herring.

[CKNovel]

Sage was a bit of a surprise, the job is rare and the weapons are unique.

As for the second Melee DPS, it's probably a reaper due to Yoshi-P's shirts, Ran'jit fighting style and possibly a little clue in the Endwalker trailer.

If it was Runic Knight/Rune Fencer, it would've been the poster job. Paladin was chosen because it was the closest thing to a "Warrior of Light" job. Rune Fencer/Runic Knight would've been a good candidate for a WoL job.

[AC9Breaker]

Imma say Death Knight. Scythe weapons where a Dark Knight's weapon in 11 and they where a dps class. Since we already have Great Sword Dark Knight in 14, Scythe wielding dps Death Knight seems like a similar option. Wasn't one of the special characters in FF Tactics a Death Knight too? Or am I confusing it with the group name, Death Corps or something like that.

[BasicBlake]

Where are people getting the scythe from though? Yoshi P’s shirts are never a “at face value” hint, and then the talk of Zenos with a scythe, when has the WoL ever gone along with the job from an enemy?

Granted they could always start a new trend but it seems pretty unlikely that Zenos of all people is going to match the weapon/job of the WoL.

Both shirts Yoshi-P had on was the Grim-reaper with a Scythe.

This can mean many things but if the Job is based on the Death/Grim Reaper the Scythe Job is one possibility since the Grim Reaper's weapon of choice is the scythe.

Of course it can be just a trick and the real hint is just the new Melee Job is some how related to Death.

However, that is the only hint we have from Yoshi-p being Death and the Grim Reaper
