Lore-wise and mechanics-wise, these jobs simply don't belong to any other class, or any combination thereof. I don't feel that they would mesh with the soul crystal system at all. Dark Knight was kind of an easy one, which is why I didn't mention it.

Anyway, I'm glad to hear from others that there will be new base classes, 'cause as far as I can see, this is the only way to do it well. Starting off entirely new classes at level 50 with the soul crystal system would be pretty disappointing to me - it makes sense with the current jobs, just not the ones I mentioned. That was my biggest concern.
I have my own speculations on new classes that lead to the more quirky jobs like blue mage and summoner but thats all in the devs hands, I guess.

Although if you want, we can speculate all night, I love making job and class concepts especially posting them even if no one reads. Now that we know how the entire system works, you could come up with your own ideas, I mean whats the point of questioning whats next if we don't talk about our own ideas of whats next.
