Yeah, I regret that the game wasn't designed for all four roles from the outset, but agree that trying to change it mid-stream after the game has been out this long presents a lot of difficulties, so probably won't happen.

Limiting themselves to only three presents some other difficulties, though. With their initial set of classes/jobs, SE has done a really good job of making each one both unique and relevant, but it's going to get increasingly hard to maintain that fact as they start adding more. A fourth combat role for support classes would increase the number of ways they could branch out with new jobs.
