Roles for Samurai, Red Mage, Dancer

At this moment were kinda just speculating these are the 3 chosen jobs arn't we? Dancer is the only one (assuming his word on the event having to do with it, thus the emote being a copy of XI) that seems like a possible choice but outside that, has any other info been seen or given to hint at it?

Dancer is actually the least likely of the 3 however. It's one that a lot of players have asked for but its not once been mentioned by Yoshida or the devs. Samurai has been talked about quite a bit and is undoubtedly a surefire addition to the game at some point, whether its 4.0 or later, it was originally in consideration for the tank role for 3.0 but lost out to DRK at the last minute (so some could argue it's role has already been decided and simply pushed back to a later expansion). And red mage has been mentioned quite a bit, and notoriously Yoshida has said recently it's one of his favorite jobs. Which interestingly enough he said the same thing about Dark Knight and Machinist in one interview months before the first Fanfest back in 2014.

So I would say, in my opinion, that Red Mage is potentially the most likely to he added in 4.0. It's iconic appearance will make for easy marketing and I wouldn't be surprised to see a CGI trailer where the Hyur changes jobs again to the Red Mage
