Another Potential Job: the Ranger

[Enkidoh]

Ranger is pretty much just ARC already I'm afraid (there have been dialogue references in Gridania in the past about ARCs of the God's Quiver "going out into the forest on 'rangings'"), and with Yoshi's recent comments about new Jobs in the game will be entirelly original and unique ideas from now on and not reusing existing Job names and ideas from past FF games, RNG's appearence is even more unlikely (same with GEO for that matter, which likewise technically already exist in the lore anyway as just a Far Eastern hybrid of AST and CNJ, as shown in the Swallow's Compass).

Using two outright different weapon types on the same class is incdentally something that simply isn't possible with the Armoury System as it stands (the whole point of the Armoury System is your weapon is your class, a different weapon means a literal different class, so there is no mixing between the two, making your idea not possible sadly.

But hey, I would love to be proven wrong though!

the comparition to mch is kinda eh to me because mch just use just a bunch of weapons anyway, are we out of options for fire damage now it has flamethrower? eh. (and personality the autocrossbow is just ugly so idc) but i don't like being pessimist about jobs because its not like we arent gonna have gun based jobs like GNB just because we have MCH. i like to think they would just make it nitty

This job has almost nothing in common with ARC from what I can tell, and I highly doubt they'll never make another job from a previous FF game ever again. At the end of the day they can do whatever they want no matter what some guy said one time years ago.

I would suggest a name change to prevent confusion though (maybe something like 'Survivalist' but a less ugly word). People see 'Ranger' and immediately think of ARC and ranged attacks.

This job uses knives, the crossbow is only used for a few abilities similar to MCH so I don't see that being a problem. But multiple weapons can also work if they have some kind of synergy (see RDM).
