    Lucky for us, Sage was not given the name of Druid, and White Mage did ditch nature magic for light and holy magic, so although I have no idea if it would happen, I could see Geomancer and/or Druid to appear in FFXIV...

    The FF franchise likes to change the name, and partial change the identity, of fantasy archtypes a bit, such as Black Knight, Dark Warrior, and Death Knight, in other places, to have seen a bit of change and given the name Dark Knight, in the FF franchise; so I could also see a Druid subclass given the name "Geomancer", despite the fundamental differences between the two archtypes, and despite what the Geomancer is like in other places that is not the FF franchise...

    And then, also.. there is the debate of what role Geomancer and/or Druid would have, in FFXIV... Both of those subclasses are half Healer and half Damager, but FFXIV will never allow the lousy Damager-Healer-Tank "Sacred Trinity" triumvirate design to be broken, so either or both archtypes would have to lose a large part of its identity; whether that be as a Healer that lacks the Damager half, or a Damager that lacks the Healer half.

    in my personal opinion... I could see Geomancer as Caster or Healer, while Druid.. I think, would better fit as a Caster than a Healer.
    Last, as a side note, I have no idea at all what the FF franchise Geomancer is like... I only know Geomancer from other sources, where-in Geomancer subclass is much not like the Druid subclass, so I regard the two as being different subclasses...
