Would you rather have Corsair and Geomancer instead of Viper and Pictomancer?

Cuz I love the Ivalice games, I like green, and I love enhancing and enfeebling effects. I grew an affinity when it was a new thing and have wanted to see more ever since. And it had a bit of a druidic spin in Tactics A2 and I liked that.

People latch onto weird stuff. People have come out and said Pictomancer was their fave job when only Relm in VI had it and an appearance in Bravely Default. And before it was a glorified Blue Mage of the three there were in VI.

Even if Green Mage did get added, it would almost certainly have no resemblance to the singular example of Green Mage from TA:2. Debuffs are largely non-existent in XIV. Dancer, a job that is most strongly associated with debuffs, was given 0 debuff application out of the entirely useless Phys Ranged Role Actions (minus the very occasional Head Graze for interruption). DOTs have only ever been culled and have literally never been built upon even for the Summoner that once was a DOT DPS. It's far more likely that Green Mage would be something entirely new. Seems a lot more likely that it would've been something like the Dancer of casters--low personal DPS, but prominent use of buffs to compensate.

And that's exactly what I want. I want them to iterate on Green Mage and do something unique with it to flesh out its identity in the series.
