However...

If they release a new class simultaneously with 2.0 (the final release - not beta), then there will be an influx of new players and it might work out ok..

But I still think we will see at least 2-3 new classes with the following priority: (**The jobs listed are what I would personally like to see)
  1. Arcanist > Time Mage
  2. Scout > Thief
  3. Musketeer > Corsair/Gambler (or outside chance Red Mage)

After that people will want a pet class, so we'll get "Tamer > Beastmaster" or "Evoker > Summoner"
I really don't think Musketeer will go to Red Mage. Corsair is a possibility but so is Cannoneer, Chemist and Gun Mage. Given Corsair was in XI so everyone will probably want it, just thinking of the other possibilities from the Tactics and other series.
