Remaining Niches to Fill?

[MartaDemireux]

Since Yoshi is firm with not adding jobs just to have the jobs present in the game and only adding jobs to match them up with a missing niche, what realistic niches do you see remaining?

I ask because I have a sneaking suspicion that we may only see 12 classes/13 jobs. This would match up with the 12 deities with ACN being the match for Nald'thal, the twins (The 12 are actually 13 afterall). The Zodiac Weapons hint toward this as well, potentially only having 13 of them as their name suggests. The Zodiac in the FF series historically has 13.

So what 3 niches could you see remaining? One for each role as we have confirmation of 1 healer and 1 tank coming with 3.0.

Current Niches filled:

High HP, two-handed reactive tank.
Standard sword and board proactive tank.
Reactive and AoE healer.
Proactive healer with shields and mitigation. +Pet
Physical fast paced DPS that excels in long fights.
Physical spike DPS.
Physical DoT sneaky DPS.
Ranged physical DoT/Crit DPS. Party buffer.
Magical spike DPS.
Magical DoT DPS. +Pet
