Please also realise the mechanics are completely different from FFXI. I understand that SE will be giving the battle system a complete face lift for beta, but what they've talked about gives no signs to it being like FFXI.

Therefor no jobs in FFXI in description or name will be in FFXIV, because the game plays 100% differently.
