Yeah, a few things have been announced here and there about 2.3. Some things were confirmed during the live letter and some prior/after that.

Yoshida also mentioned that with each patch leading up to the expansion, we'll learn more about Ishgard and I believe he said more involved with them.

And this was after he said there was a possibility of a level cap increase before the expansion AND seeing a new class via patch before the expansion as well.

no, EdwinLi is right, class is planned before the expansion. he did recently in a live letter talk about the fact that we will not get a raise of the level cap before the expansion... but not the class.
it will be a huge slap in the face of the legacy player if he don't bring new class before the expansion leading at 5 years with just one new class for us. some of us had all the class 50 before ARR.

Platinum Mirage is the casino, the Golden Saucer sounds more like a racetrack for Chocobo's. Wonder if any Fat Choco's will compete. I'd pay good gil to see that.

Your confusing what he said in the quote. He said "probably increase the level cap" when he introduce a new class which means he does not guarantee a new class will bring in a level cap raise. So it still stands that a new class can appear in both Major Update and Expansion.

GE- With ARR we’ll see Arcanist added with Summoner shortly after the game launches. Are there any other classes or jobs you’d like to see added? And will these be added in patches or expansions?

Yoshida- What I would like to see right?

First of all, we are planning a new race for an expansion pack. For the classes and jobs, we will introduce them through patches because all of the Legacy players have level 50 jobs anyway. When we introduce new classes and jobs we will probably increase the level cap at the same time.

About what I want to introduce- it’s more like what I think I have to introduce. Something related to guns because the (musketeer) guild in the game. Something related to that I think I have to introduce.

Also I do feel that scouting classes are lacking so I want to bring in Thief, Ninja and those that have to do with stealth. Also more casters like Blue Mage and Red Mage are something I would like to add.
