Ever since stromblood, one of the main scions have picked up one of the new jobs introduced in the expac.
- Alisaie gained Red Mage officially in Stormblood (though it was teased earlier in the 3.x patches)
- Thancred gained gunbreaker in Shadowbringers, this was likely to also aide the trust system as we were light on tanks.
- Alphinaud gained sage in Endwalker.
- Krile gained pictomancer in Dawntrail.
Following this trend we can assume that one of the core group of scions will gain a new job.
Baring any switch ups the core party of scionsnat the moment seem to be the twins, Estinien, G'raha, Tataru, Thancred, Urianger, And Y'shtola.
Knowing all that and kowing that we will be getting a tank and a ranged dps I feel we can rule out all but Thancred or Estinien as the other all feel very tied to magic as a identity or in Tataru's right away as she is very confirmed to be a noncombat member.
Of the two I feel that Estinien is the less likely of the two. His job identity is basicly 80% of who he is as a character and we already saw him in the trailer as a dragoon. Though he could make a dramatic job change mid fight to become a tank maybe? This would probably coincide with he getring a bigger role in the story and character development. It's possible but have a better feeling about option 2.
I feel Thancred gaining the ranged role is the most likely candidate as he currently only can fill 1 role in a trust, it could fit his character identity as a spy and we have not seen him in the trailer. My guess is that he will run in and save the main character, Alphinaud, and Estinien as some sort of ranged sniper in the part of the trailer where they are surrounded by the floating crystal drones. He could also pick up another tank job just cuz.
If I had to pick another scion to get a new job I guess it would be Alisaie but magic just feels so tied to her as a character.
Of course we could always have one of the secondary or former scions show up as one of the new jobs. Though I feel Hoary Boulder or Lyse getting moved to the main party... unlikely.
TLDR: my bet is that Thancred will gain the ranged DPS job with my back up being that Estinien becomes the tank.
