Here are a few things to take into consideration. The following is taken from the third (and last) player poll that concluded on march 26th of this year:
This pole allowed you to pick two choices, the poll results were never posted. I assume this was so that people wouldn't know what jobs they were intending to release.==Battle System and Combat Classes==
Q1. What type of jobs/classes would you most like to see added? (Up to 2 answers allowed) *
A. An assassin-type class that uses lethal and stealthy attacks. (ex. Ninja, Thief, etc.)
B. One that controls and fights alongside a pet or avatar. (ex. Summoner, Puppetmaster, etc.)
C. A new type of magic-user that uses enfeebling magic and close-range attacks. (ex. Red Mage, etc.)
D. A new type of fighter that uses enfeebling attacks and inflicts special damage. (ex. Dark Knight, etc.)
E. An original class unlike any of those described above. (ex. Musketeer, Arithmetician, etc.)
The following here is taken from a fan translation of the recent interview with Yoshi-P during the 25th anniversary event (the same interview where they announced smn):
If this is to be interpreted as they have already decided on which jobs/classes they will be releasing first (which is how I interpret it) then based on the jobs offered on the march player poll, and the results of Mijin's poll, it may be a possibility that they are already planning on adding RDM in the very near future, if not with the release of 2.0. Of course this is purely speculative, and we cant be sure that the poll results match (even though they probably do.) However I think this is enough evidence to form a plausible hypothesis that they may already be planing of releasing RDM.Host: But what about people who are already level 50?
Yoshi-p: They can look forward to the high level content we announced, and there are still some unannounced contents, such as raids, and new classes, chocobo raising, and other stuff.
Not saying it's going to happen, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did is all.
