I feel like the most likely are going to be either Samurai, Red Mage, Blue Mage, and/or Sage/Devout (See: Krile).
Only new jobs I am really wanting to see added the future expansions are Samurai (Melee DPS), Red Mage (Melee/Caster DPS), Dancer (Melee DPS/Healer), Devout (Caster DPS), Beast master (Ranged/Pet DPS).
If they do add Beastmaster I truly hope a whip is their main weapon.

Tank - Samurai
Healer - Dancer
DPS - Red Mage

I love how people have already forgotten that the devs have already ruled out Blue Mage because they feel that the inherent mechanics for that class clash completely with the style of play that FFXIV requires, skills based vs gear based basically.
I would personally love to see something like WoW's Druids placed in this game, the ability to shapeshift and gain abilities based upon the form you take would be a nice switch from the other classes at this point.
The next set of jobs really should include a caster dps. We still only have two INT dps in SMN and BLM.
If you were going to pick 3 jobs based on popular demand, I think the leading requests are for Red Mage, Blue Mage and Samurai.
But you also need to consider balance and fitting the theme of the expansion, and the devs like to create new things rather than just draw from the past.
Also unclear if they will add 3 jobs in 4.0 or just 2 jobs, since the plan is to move towards smaller but more frequent expansions, and never doing something as huge as Heavensward again because the man hours were killer.
Heh, would be fun if they went into completely left field with Samurai and make it a melee-caster that uses INT and MND stats and utilize both MP and TP together to create SP (Spirit or Soul points) to execute special techniques through their katanas.
Yoshi has NEVER said no to Blue mage, only said that it was kinda hard to do in a Party Setting but seems good for solo content, because he's worried that Blue Mages might be avoided to bring along if the person doesn't have the ability the party wants so difficult to do in a MMORPG setting, so you're wrong to say that the developers flat out said no to bring Blue Mages to FFXIV since it's one of the most popular jobs that requested along side RDM / SAM / NIN and DRK with the latter two being already added....I love how people have already forgotten that the devs have already ruled out Blue Mage because they feel that the inherent mechanics for that class clash completely with the style of play that FFXIV requires, skills based vs gear based basically.

So where does it say "the developers have ruled out Blue Mage"?
