What if the new Job is Beastmaster?

[Bonkleberry]

A Beastmaster would not transform into a monster. That would be the Morpher job from Final Fantasy Tactics. Beastmasters control monsters, Morphers turn into them.

That said, almost every job/class released in this MMO has also made an appearance in a Tactics series. I think the only except is Arcanist or Astrologian (which I am in the camp of describing it as a renamed Time Mage). So, Morpher does not seem out of the ordinary to me with the Spiderman hint. He is a man that is also a spider.

However, Blue Mage makes more sense to me, so...

Funny story, but that's not actually quite correct either. Despite their name, Morpher doesn't transform into monsters at all, they just sort of appear to become posessed by them. FFTA was particularly lazy in that regard.

Arcanist is a job that's appeared other places and has done various different things such that it was kind of an available blank slate.

Astrologian is a mashup of Astrologer, Oracle, and Time Mage all wrapped up into one neat package. Some folks like to say AST is representative of Gambler as well but I think that'd maybe be a stretch.

Seems to me quite a few of the jobs and classes in FFXIV are combinations of other jobs/classes through the series. If they added BST and incorporated Morpher elements into it, well, it doesn't seem to be much of a stretch to me. Or heck, they could add BLU and give it beast-based transformations ala Morpher.
