What if the clover in the hint isn't green mage but...

It's inherently a bit of a red herring (green herring?) because even if it is called green mage it might have nothing to do with any previous installments of green mage. Especially the prediction that it will be heavily debuff/dot oriented is strange because job design has been going away from dots at every corner.

Let alone the fact that Green Mage has historically NEVER been a dot job ever. Not even poison, which is the foundation of DoTs.
It's just wishful thinking that Bio and Miasma will be given to Green Mage.

Sage says hi.

Not saying it's going to be a Green Mage, but they can and do literally whatever they want with the jobs regardless of their role in other FF titles.

Pretty much to be honest. Green Mage has really only been in two FF games, and anything else has been Green Magic without the Mage. Plus Green Mage has never been in any mainline title as far as I can see, only side games associated with the main games. Green Mage, as far as FFXIV is concerned, is practically a brand new Job. Or at worst, another Sage situation where it exists in other games but will have it's own identity in FFXIV.

Personally I don't really mind, being too strict about how jobs play in other games would mean they're either dead in the water or never even considered. Sage was a bit out there for me at first but I kind of enjoy seeing the "classic" jobs implemented even if the similarities end up being minimal.
