Boring design

[Supersnow845]

RDM is also taken by an NPC

the only jobs that aren’t NPC jobs exclusively (so ignoring like graha plays functionally as a PLD if you make him a tank) and that meteor hasn’t played already are

-WHM
-SCH
-BLM
-SMN
-BRD (though he has played ARC)
-DNC (if you don’t count lyna)
-MCH
-NIN

Stormblood meteor was shown as both a monk and samurai, jobs represented by Lyse and Gosetsu. I don't think they're intentionally avoiding jobs because an important NPC for that expansion is also representing that job.

Important NPC no, but member of the 7th dawn probably

But Lyse was part of the main crew until the end of SB, so that's not it either.
