I mean... there's only been two MMOs. I'm not sure how you could have a hard-set precedent, especially since there's a fair deal of classes that aren't in FFXIV yet (and have problems with getting in due to mechanics - see: Blue Mage).

Besides, there's already two job classes in the game that aren't exactly recurring: Machinist (which, granted, is related to gunner, but they haven't exactly had a lot of appearances, either) and Astrologian - which has appeared an entire once before, in a singular story battle in Final Fantasy Tactics.
