Next Scouting Job?

[linayar]

Ninja is currently the sole Scouting job we have.

Ninja is a melee job, so it stands to reason all scouting job in the future will also be melee.

I'm not sure it does. There is nothing in game that says that scouting jobs always have to be melee. It's true that, so far, all jobs that share left-sided gears are placed in the same role, but that was also true for accessories until they made Ninja. They could do the same thing and make another exception with the next scouting job being ranged physical.
