I've been wondering, the classic DnD idea of a Druid archetype, as in a nature aligned mage that controls vegetation and/or shapeshifts, is somewhat absent not just from XIV, but from FF franchise in general, either by being a job or a character that represents a job.

I feel that this archetype is interesting enough to warrant it being a caster job post Endwalker, and a nice way to introduce a brand new job to the franchise. And given the fact that the storyline will go towards a completely new direction, it may be just about the perfect chance to introduce such a thing.
