So here's a list of some weapons still free to be used for future jobs:
Gunblade
Club/Mace
Whip
Nunchaku
Megaphone
Quarterstaff
Fan (handheld)
Bell
Actual musical instruments
Chainsaw-gun
What kinds of jobs would you want in 5.0 and beyond?

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)
Geomancer as tank with a hammer, beastmaster dps with a whip, dancer (melee equivalent to bard), shaman as healer with magic pouch/talisman
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).

To round out the categories...
Ranged Phys DPS:
BLU using Dual Pistols w/ Magic bullet command. (3.x wm/gb mechanic) also Trigger Happy command cause we all about QTEs.
BST using Boomerangs? (dunno bout this one. Gotta see how they revamp SMN)
Magic ranged DPS:
ATH (Arithmetician) using Poles. Able to cast all -ga III and -ja IV spells for free (Including Haste and Slow)
or
GEO using Bells able to create terrain under their feet to spellcast (Leylines)
Healer:
DNC using Cloth/Knife. TP based melee healer.
Would love to see a third ranged support class that uses Chakrams/Boomerangs.
I want a Shaman/Voodoo healing job that uses a puppet as a main weapon
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).
