Yes:No:
- Paladin
- Scholar
- Bard (though limited iirc)
- Dragoon (given the right conditions... namely Ishgardian)
Eh.... possible but somewhat iffy...:
- White mage
- Black mage
- Summoner
- Monk
- Warrior
I believe the above is the general consensus. There are always outliers, and of course the "play whatever the hell you want" rule... but in general this is what people accept as I recall.
Someone do correct me if I'm wrong.
I am personally on the fence with SCH because the lore is really.....waffly. Not surprising considering I'm 99% sure it was the "afterthought" job. The sheer intelligence level required for this kinda pidgonholes the character into the "bookworm" trope though I'd like to see someone go the "highly functioning sociopath" route a la Cumberbatch's Sherlock.
Summoners have to find a way to fight a primal and not get tempered. At most i can see a summoner being able to summon 1 egi ICly. Monk can have a max of 4(?) chakras opened (correct me if wrong), and someone out there knows warrs better than me. xD
