Well how long it will take for Musketeer to be released comes down to what was left of Musketeer's development from 1.0.

So far we know they have gotten the concept of Musketeer done in 1.0 but how far they gotten with Musketeer's Job, cross-skills for the Jobs, and basic skills remained unknown. If they left enough finished material from when it was still being developed in 1.0 then it shouldn't take too long. If not 2.2 then sometime between the time frame from 2.2 to expansion release. Releasing Musketeer during a Major Update right when the release of 1st expansion is about to be release stretchs it bit too much since there is still a flow of new players arriving into FF14ARR and the announcement of the first expansion release will spike up the new player population.

Releasing something like a new class needs proper timing due to how it will attract not only old players but also new players.

Then there is the factor of the expansion containing more new classes as well.

We know a new Race will be introduced in the expansion but we can't ignore that there is a possibility of new classes in the expansion due to the introduction of Ishgard and Ala Mhigo.

Introducing Musketeer as part of a Major Update that is right next to expansion release that may contain 1, 2 , or 3 new classes can cause far more stress to the servers due to the large amount of population still running through Musketeer then suddenly get a much large population stress with the new classes that may be the in expansion.

The last thing we want is another server issue due to the Arcanist Boom we had during the first month of release.
