Musketeer if memory serves. It was another job that was dummied out in 1.0 since there wasn't enough dev time to implement it. It only exists in lore now.

That's exactly right, it's Musketeer or MSK, one of several planned classes for 1.0 that were never implemented - my suspicion is it was never added due to how in 1.0 the battle system had an ammo slot that was a consumable resource, meaning every piece of ammunition was expended even with normal auto attacks, and it was expensive enough for ARC to make their arrows out of wood, MSK would have probably required even more expensive materials, and given 1.0's troubled development, little wonder it was set aside and never implemented, although even in ARR there are many MSK enemies in the game (a number you find in places like Pharos Sirius). Merlwyb also has a MSK variant as her special class.

MSK also was not alone in being a 'dummied out' class in 1.0 - there were a number of other legendary classes never implemneted, most notoriously, ACN, although that was redesigned from the ground up for ARR, it was nothing how it was originally planned to be in 1.0 by all accounts - evidentally it was meant to use a weird 'mechanical staff' as a weapon and set magical traps in battle, presumedly this was too complex to work out and so like MSK it too was abandoned and forgotten, until ARR when it's class icon and name were revived for ARR but rebuilt as as the psuedo magical pet class we know today.


Other legendary planned but dummied out classes for 1.0 were a fourth Disciple of the Land class called 'Shepherd' or 'SHP' for short, which even had a class guild in 1.0 Falcon's Nest, a rapier using Disciple of War class called 'Fencer' or 'FCR for short, and a mysterious (pun intended) Disciple of Magic called 'Mystic' that were both referred to in ability files but dummied out in 1.0, but what the later two were originally meant to be is a very good question).

Either way, I'm pretty confident whatever was made for these classes ended up being rolled into later Jobs post ARR (MSK undoutably served as the basis for MCH, FCR the melee side of RDM and MYS was probably meant to be something like AST), so alas these will never appear in FFXIV now (to say nothing of SHP being also long abandoned given that from I understand Yoshi already stated ages ago that no new Disciples of the Hand or Land are coming to the game, so that's the final nail in SHP's coffin).
