How will future advanced jobs work?

[Isaveron]

Musketeer would be a class, not a job. Was planned as class since beginning and there is already a class guild for musketeer.

Bard was suppose to be a class, but it's a job now. And they can easily get rid of the musketeer (and arcanist) guilds in the map revamp

When did they ever mention BRD as a class? Arcanist and Musketeer have been confirmed to be classes, and they were next in line to be implemented under Tanaka's plan, however Yoshi P came in and felt there needs to be more balance between physical and mage class choices and thus he wants to prioritize magic-based classes a bit before getting to musketeer.

That being said, we already know that each class will have at least 1 job, and that they were at some point exploring the concept of jobs that branch from a combination of multiple classes.
