Yep, there will be a lot of pissed off players if it's not a scythe job at this point, but there are probably just as many who prefers something else. I liked the idea at first, but while it would be cool, I would actually prefer something else unique. Looking at what they did with Sage, and I think Yoshi-P have mentioned in the past that he wants to make more unique adaptions of FF jobs, there might be a surprise when it comes to the weapon. Even my own prediction of Sice doesn't mean it would have to be Scythe as weapon just because she uses it.

Surprised to see so many people here who are kinda assuming the new job will be totally unique to FFXIV. All other jobs we have in the game (and Sage) are based on already existing jobs/characters from Final Fantasy games. Sure, it's very possible they will make unique jobs, but wouldn't it at least be more likely that they just follow the formula they have followed up until now? Especially since there are still tons of jobs they can add based on existing jobs.
The definition of unique really depends on the individual so we can't really determine if the job maybe defined as unique or returning job based on people's opinions alone.

There is already groups of people split between Sage being a already existing job in FF games or a job that never existed before in FF games due to the name and weapon of the job.

For some Sage is a returning job in the FF series for FF14 because Sage already existed but has not been seen since FF4 but some argue it is completely separate new unique job due to the design choice of attacks and weapons.

This same argument still goes on with Astrologian Job in FF14 due to player's difference in opinion about Astrologian being a returning job in FF14 that has not been seen since FFTactics due to the name or a completely new job due to the new skills and weapon it obtained in FF14.
