2 jobs next time, but how about adding Musketeer (MCH branch)

Whatever they add, if they add, I expect those jobs to the last of the jobs they add. Why? Because they are starting to struggle with balancing the current jobs every time they bump them 10 levels. The overhead of maintaining that many jobs will start to become a burden.

There was actually an interview and they stated they plan to have as many or more as FF11.

Perhaps a better point of comparison is the Final Fantasy franchise’s other major MMO, Final Fantasy 11. That game, which received its reportedly final expansion last year, has grown to a respectable stable of 22 jobs. Judging by Yoshida’s comments, he fully expects Final Fantasy 14 to get to that point as well.

“I believe that leveling in and of itself can be enjoyed as content,” he said. “Choosing which jobs to add will get harder and harder as we progress, but we still want to add them.”

I agree with this plan but I feel like they often implement things that run directly counter to it. If leveling can be enjoyed as content, why do they keep adding new jobs that are halfway or more leveled when you get them? If they want to add more jobs, why do they cut some like Ranger and Thief out with the way they've done others? So weird.
