Don't add new jobs and classes:

For the Summoner coming from Gridania argument: I could totally see it happening. Seedseers can speak with the elementals and in the opening for Gridania Kan-E-Sama (I think it is) summons moogles to aid. They freeze time and calm down an angry treant. So it could very well start from there.

Definitely agree that new classes should spur from new areas for the most part. However there are so many unvisited areas in Eorzea alone, not even considering the rest of Hydaelan (or however the world is spelled). I think it'll be a non-issue.

Ehm, that wasn't Kan-E-Senna, this Padjal was male ^^
The moogles wasn't summoned. And not only the Padjal can speak with elementals, good conjurers can too.
After the moogles lured the treant away the Padjal calmed down the wood.

And don't forget the Padjal have already white magic.

Raya-O-Senna:
Should that alone suffice not to assuage anxiety, aside from our communion with the elementals through conjury, we Padjal are also keepers of white magic.
White magic is an ancient healing art passed down through the ages in Gridania. With its spells at my disposal, I am not like to come to harm.

Don't care, new jobs!

Don't care, new jobs!

I don't care! I want to get more jobs!

Then ask for classes like Arcanist, Musketeers, Beastmasters. They already have guilds and lores for them.

Here is a youtube link of a GM in Arcanist class.

I want to see guild halls that have a purpose because right now they might as well be gil/exp dispensers for 3 quests. Hopefully they have this fleshed out for 2.0 (and hopefully we get more 2.0 info soon considering how close it is...).

Fun content is, was, and always will be better for an MMO then lore and story. Adding jobs is fun... delaying jobs is not fun. See where im going here? Add the fun now then add the story later. This game is not in a position to delay stuff planned for any reason whatsoever.

[ThePatriarch]

That is a lazy, and terrible game design practice that FFXIV don't need to follow. I hope you're not serious.

Exactly. That is why they should implement Arcanist, Musketeers, and Beastmaster because some already have weapons and armor in the DAT files, and background stories. Delaying those classes first is not fun, as oppose to bringing out something random out of the blue. You don't see the logic? The more you know.

And I'm laughing at you.

By the way isn't Sharlayan more like middle east? I probably misunderstood a few texts but it seems to give me an arabic feel...

Even if it gives off an Arabic feel, why would that mean it has to be a literal "middle-east" region and not a region in the ingame's "western" or "mid-western" region?

Oh, oh!
I thought when you mentioned cardinal directions you merely meant the style it had. Sharlayan could be in the south-southwest, but it'd still have a 'middle-east' feel since that's... What our real-world reference.
