And yet that poll is sort of worthless because of how many fake options there are, like Time Mage, Thief, Ranger, and Berserker.

I wouldn't necessarily call it worthless or fake options. The pole was a pretty good reflection of player sentiment, and the job options were an inclusion of the majority of classes in the Final Fantasy series including Tactics. Time Mage especially is a strong candidate for a new mage class in the future. Some of its utility does overlap with astrologian, but things like Haste, Stop, Slow, are all things that have yet to be implemented into a job, but are spells that should be in the game or are already.

Arrow Card = Haste
Celestial Opposition = Stop (or as close as it'd get in this game)
Time Dilation = Extend

When you really think about it, Astrologian is simply Time Mage as recognized from past games applied in a more practical manner to a game in which jobs identified for just buffing or would otherwise be considered a "support" role wouldn't really work.
