As far as I know, crafters will still be classes further down the line, unless someone can produce an actual quote/statement from someone from development that specifically states otherwise. I mean either I have somehow completely missed a bombshell announcement or people are completely misinterpreting a statement that was made a while back and are now propagating a rumor that is going to result in nothing more than rage. Both for crafters now and anti-crafters later when they find out it wasn't true.

EDIT: also, what does it matter? Physical levels will be going away making every class have its own stats. Your problem will be a non-issue in a few weeks.
i think its in one of the famitsu interviews. someone did say that crafting and gathering will no longer be main jobs but be support jobs. And they didn't mean like "supporting battle", they meant it as they will no longer be viable as a "main". Ex. future missions won't let you win just by parley'ing, and content will be focused on dom/dow (raids) instead of what was originally intended which was to have like company crafting (giant cakes, ships, etc). At least thats the impression they have been giving over multiple interviews and in some dev comments.
