We dont know anything. They could turn around and make four new jobs (Red, Blue, Samurai, dancer) or we will only get two. Maybe the girl is a dancer but we wont get it as a new job. Or maybe we are all wrong and the next class is something completely different. But Yoshida wants some discussion for this so why are some people trying to stop it? Its really funny to read some speculation and as long as its without any hurtful comments why not just let people speculate whatever they want? And if its about wrong information one can still counter it but why try to be so aggressive about it?

I am happy about any class we get as long as its fun to play. At the same time I enjoyed reading all the reasons in this thread until it somehow turned away from being a funny, simple discussion to people putting others down for their opinions..If you dont think that its going to be class X because reason Y..well thats fine. But why try to change peoples mind? Why not ignore it and just post your own speculation about the next reveal? Its really sad. :/
Where you are quite wrong is that there are things we "DO" know, and it seems that quite a few people have absolutely no idea what deductive reasoning skills are. You cannot twist facts to support a narrative that isn't there. Speculation isn't a blanket statement for: "I want this! So be damned the logic and facts!"

1: After Heavenward released Yoshi and team said they were never going to do 3-4 job releases that close together ever again, and at most, we'd get 2 at a time going forward. ROG/NIN with 2.4, DRK/MCH/AST with 3.0. So, with that "FACT" we know that we can only expect 2 jobs for this expansion. Not 3 or even 4.

2: Every single shirt 'tease' has been on the nose. Batman - Dark Knight. 007 - Machinist. Scarlet Witch - Red Mage. Spider Man DOES NOT equate dancer even in the slightest.

3: Not a single teaser trailer has ever 'showcased' a new job prior to it's announcement. It's entire purpose is to showcase the titular job of that expansion. Stormblood is all about Ala Mhigo and MONKS. Two Monks sparing on the Hand of Rhalgr. Not a Monk and a watered down monk clone in a flowy dress doing stylized "IN GAME" monk abilities. I guess if it quacks like a duck, it's gotta be a dancer right? That's just plain ignorance about martial arts there.. but whatever..

Those are the things we know and is what speculation should be focused around. Not wild theories that equate to: "I want this, so be damned the facts!"

Rampant ignorance is the only thing that people are trying to stop or stamp out. Because as my earlier post said: There will be people who come raging to the forums when dancer isn't announced (and It really won't be), wondering why it was cancelled because it was confirmed! All due to poorly informed "speculation and deductive reasoning."
