The developers admitted that having ACN split into SCH and SMN was a bad decision, and I believe they said that they have no further plans to have a class split off into two separate jobs again. The best you’d get would be Ranger added as a DPS job in a new expansion. I’d rather BRD not be overhauled for the third time in a row into either Ranger or Songstress. Especially since BRD already has a well established lore in FFXIV (that the current job design ironically goes against).
