Actually, me and a friend in work (both summoners) were speculating about possible "adjustments" today. What we came up with was...

Miasma has now been removed, and replaced with blizzard 1. Umbral Ice cannot be used. (bonus option) The Disease debuff has been removed from Miasma.
Bane has been adjusted for an even larger radius, but now passes to 1 monster maximum.
Pet adjustment: Enkindle has now been replaced with Tri-disaster II with a longer casting time than Tri-disaster, but increased radius. Titan has been bugged to match Garuda and Ifrit.

AF2 bonus: Accuracy has been replaced with spell speed.

Summoner, fixed!

From my interpretation of Yoshi wordings, new jobs are still possible with existing classes that do not require expansion. SE must be playing around with the concept of Arcanist having both as Summoner and Scholar and decided that other classes can do the same too. Here's where its a little bit tricky as SE is not usually giving out free new jobs like thief to players that have already level up most or all classes thus the likelihood to increase lv cap to 60 together with the new jobs to get used to them.

As to the location of where to level up above 50, instead of having each new areas for all 3 cities (Limsa, Gridania and Uldah) that will be too large for patches, SE might simply be using one common new area which could be Ishigard. It is situated on a neutral ground Coerthas and is possible as simply a patch thing (2.4 maybe just after Crystal Tower patch). Or possibly giving experience points on new harder dungeons so as not to clogged out all players in one location.

In regards to existing classes for new jobs with daggers, I was actually thinking there is ALREADY a dual handed wield class: Pugilist! Thus that will be the main class with either Marauder or Lancer as sub. Guns job will have Archer and either Lancer/Marauder or Thaumaturge as sub depending if SE would like pure ranged DPS method or ether magical guns job.

Again this is simply my own analysis and is definitely up for all kinds of debates but I am glad that SE are looking at all possibilities!

Loved that cut scene so much.
