FFXIV is in it for the long term, and it will base each expansion around one of the original jobs. That's why they're not introducing any more jobs, and sort of giving up on the class/job system. If you look at the lore it lines up all the expansions quite nicely.
Expansion 1 - Ishgard, Dragoons
Expansion 2- Back to Ul'dah, Paladin
Expansion 3- Take back Ala-mhigo, Monk
But... they are introducing new Jobs, and they said they would continue to introduce more Jobs in future expansions. They are just not introducing any future Classes as far as we know. As far them basing expansions around a specific Job, I doubt it... I think there is just an emphasis on DRG because of Ishgard, and I'm pretty sure we will be going back to Ul'dah in Heavensward... they aren't going to leave that open and untouched for the next 1+ year.
They initially said when they started designing the expansion they were conflicted between a sky based expansion, or a water based expansion. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up doing the water based expansion as the second expac, then perhaps Ala Mhigo as expac 3.
