Forgive me if this has been pointed out before, but it occurred to me that in each expansion since Shadowbringers, one of the new jobs that came out with that expansion was directly related to whichever previous Final Fantasy game most influenced that expansion.
1. Shadowbringers introduced Gunbreaker, and was most influenced by Final Fantasy 8 (the Eden raids, etc.). Gunbreaker is obviously based on Squall and Seifer from 8.
2. Endwalker introduced Sage, and was most influenced by Final Fantasy 4 (the moon, the Loporrits, the Four Fiends, etc.). Tellah the Sage was a memorable character from 4.
3. Dawntrail introduced Viper, and was most influenced by Final Fantasy 9 (Alexandria, etc.). The Viper weapon is reminiscent of Zidane's "Thief Sword" weapons from 9.
Using this information, we could either a), speculate on which job might be introduced next, if we know ahead of time which previous Final Fantasy game will most influence the next expansion, or b), if we learn the new job first, speculate about which previous Final Fantasy game will most influence the next expansion.
