    Gunblade is possible but we literally just got 2 sword job in 4.0.

    I can see the following:

    Handbell: Geomancer
    Whip: Dancer or Blue mage
    Cloth: Dancer

    Dual gunblades: blue mage/gun mage (can draw magic from enemies as part of the gunblade combo which allows access to different monster abilities)

    Whip: beastmaster/trainer (control pet animals with an obedience gauge that you have to keep in check)

    Fans: dancer (can slash enemies or fan allies)

    We technically already have seen Geomancer in the game (4.0 AST storyline), they're basically a Far Eastern CNJ (uses Wind/Earth/Water element spells and a cane-like weapon).

    Dancer would either use a single dagger or a wrist-blade. Whip belongs to Blue Mage and Beast Master.

    Geomancer is basically already in the game as Conjurer (sadly). I would love to see another tank class. Personally I wouldn't mind seeing a Hammer based tank (maybe 2-hander). Many of the animations are already in-game from some enemy NPCs.

    I also think it would be nice to see another ranged physical class that doesn't use bows or guns. Perhaps a type of throwing weapon (maybe boomerang), or even something brand new like a blowgun with poison darts (dot class)? I would say blow darts doesn't really fit the lore of "final fantasy" but they added the blow dart mini-game/quests so maybe? They could also create a "caster"-type heavy-gun class. Something that has to use a cast bar because of reloading the gun or because of weapon weight. Maybe a minigun or a rocket launcher.

    I think it would also be interesting to see a one-handed spear + shield class. We need another class that uses shields. Or maybe even a class that uses shields as a primary weapon...that could be interesting.

    I personally think we have enough melee dps classes for now. I think we're due for another ranged physical since there are only 2 of those. Also wouldn't mind seeing a new caster. Others have mentioned bluemage as a melee dps but I could very easily see it being a caster as well (think Strago FFVI).
