True and real, it'd be alive for a maximum of like 5 days and then would be as abandoned as Verminion, Chocobo Racing, Triple Triad tournaments, Mahjong, etc. I really don't get what people's obsession with it as a minigame is (we all did the 'go behind the goalie' cheese, don't lie), and I definitely don't see how on earth it'd make sense, gameplay or lorewise, for it to be a job in FFXIV. It just seems like one of those oddball (pun not indended) one off things that got some cult following. At least Artist/Pictomancer has the aspect of 'appears in multiple installations' going for it

Also we know the second job is a Caster. Can we just stop with the Blitzball copium please. I swear, Yoshi-P could say, live on stage, 'We will never do Blitzball, I will shut the game down before adding that to FFXIV, it is NOT happening, EVER' and some people would still go 'yeh he said that, but he might change his mind, I'd play it every day' it's almost like, delusional
