It's possible some of these were absorbed into current BLU. I doubt any of the earlier drafts resulted in much, but who knows.
I recall there being a leak around the time pre 4.4 I think, that seemed like it was too accurate to be entirely coincidental, but still off enough that it seemed to have either outdated information, or indirect information where they had to make some guesses.

It said crystal tower would be a big part of 5.0 opening a portal, which was half right. It said gunblader (tentative name) tank and dancer healer. Blue mage melee support dps.

Called something similar to ronso. Minfilia coming back.

Adam and eve as end boss of Omega.

It could have all been lucky guesses, but a lot of it feels like the leaker had access to prior itterations of stuff that was all changed before the final version, getting too close on multiple areas to be coincidence. IF the leaks were real, that might suggest they had different itterations on many things including blue mage as a full job and dancer as a healer before they settled on the final versions of things.
