I mean, you can throw a dart at the board of jobs and chances are a noticeable amount of people called the job as something other than what we got. None of this is to say it absolutely will be a healer, but that people are too quick to write it off for reasons that are ultimately tied to their own feelings on what is and isn't valid for it.
In all fairness though, none of those classes had prior story before they were released or had no information about them. They came out a patch or so before the expansion, in a story quest, or just dropped with the actual expansion patch, no backstory. So you bring them up, and I get that but for all of them, all people could do was speculate based on other games. While we are on year three of Geomancers being in the FFXIV story being casters. So we have story pushing them as a caster, and people keep asking you where you are seeing them being healers in the world of FFXIV, but instead of saying "This quest" or "this page", "this dungeon" instead you just say "people thought this and were wrong".
