my feelings are more towards Beastmaster, with whips. Flayer (whips) was supposed to be one of the original classes in the game. We already have one pet class in the game and expanding on it is doable. Second reason is that I believe Yoshida is highly against adding Blue Mage in to FFXIV. The complexity of Blue mage will likely make blue mage the only job added when they do add it. It will take far more resources to make blue mage then it will to make any other job.

If this is a hint, it is likely something about the super hero that relates to a Final Fantasy job. Him talking about the director is likely to throw everyone off.

While spiderman got his powers from a spider, he is not Rogue who is more likely to be character they would use for Blue Mage. Spiderman slings webs.
