They don't.

It's Ninja.

[Royal]

Why can't they just at least tell us the names and weapons. Would that really give up so much??????

[Keftenk]

They have, Black Mage, White Mage, Monk, Paladin (that's all they've given us thus far)

[Keftenk]

Was just asking a question >_>

[Holy_Dragoon]

Holy's theories based on the drawing and other tidbits:

LNC > DRG (general DRG styling, but is close to DRK, yet still carries a polearm weapon I believe to be a Guisarme)
MAR > WAR (warriors wield axes in previous FF, + red accents)
PUG > MNK (obvious)
CON > WHM (skill set, multiple raise tiers etc)
ARC > BRD (harp embedded in bow)
THM > BLM (skill set and in-game lore)
GLD > PLD (obvious)

[Keftenk]

Bow harp looks so dumb ;\

[Ferth]

Bow harp looks so dumb ;\

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that.

[Jynx]

Can't wait to play around on Blackmage whenever it comes out that AF armour we seen ages ago is just epic.

This sounds about spot on.

They're supposed to release their intended list of new and shuffled abilities for classes when 1.19 is released so they can get player feedback for 1.20. I wouldn't be surprised to see nukes moving to THM to make it more logically in line with BLM.

I see a sort of 'viking' under the paladin (the roegadyn one)...? :0

It looks a little more "Roman" to me than Viking. Still, as MRD will most logically be WAR when jobs come, it seems to fit either way.

Looks more like the Corsair kinda pirate get up... least I'm pretty sure he's wearing a jack coat and a tri-corn hat.

p.s.

After looking at the higher resolution picture, it doesn't look as much like a tricorn as I thought and I do see more of the roman look you point out... perhaps a Berserker type, mixing Roman armor with Germanic fur/hide clothing.
