Two additional thoughts, to try and steer things in a more positive direction:

1) Anyone have a good idea of what a second "scouting" job could be? Seems like the deliberate separation of NIN gear from MNK/SAM might point toward where the devs think they can expand jobs.

2) Someone suggested "Judge" as a potential job in another thread and I think it would actually be a solid choice for an out-of-the-box design similar to GNB being an ode to VIII/XIII. Dual-wielded swords/daggers/maces that can combine into a staff. Some "rule" debuffs, make it function as kind of a time mage/green mage.
