Such as NIN, SAM, DRK, RDM, etc. Surely they exist because they're part of Final Fantasy's lore in general, but is there anyone that actually roleplays these jobs that have yet to be added?
I, for one, play a character who's more like a THF than a PGL or MNK. However, THF (which will probably be a class, not a job) isn't available yet. Still, when you think of Ul'dah's streets, there's bound to be thieves and the like, yes? Just because there's no job, or class, to support them yet, should we not venture into what isn't yet in the game's mechanics?
A lot of people still play as things that aren't actually implemented into the game yet. An example being, one of my characters is good with firearms and, in combination with his history and such, actually owns a functioning gunblade. The gunner-type class isn't implemented yet (but will be soon, alongside THF), but it's still very obvious at several points in the game that guns such as pistols, rifles, and even gunblades (though these are limited to Garleans unless you've worked out a logical explanation) that a character could easily be something along these lines.
Same with Ophelia. She's a dancer/songstress, moreover in the literal terms of a performer and not an archer-type like the game function. I know dancer is a class in 11, but not here, and there's never really been mention if it'll be available or not as a game mechanic. But, you see a lot of dancers about Ul'dah, and [in 1.0] there was a main storyline NPC for Ul'dah that was a very popular songstress of sorts, without being a bard like the game defines it.
So really, it's all up to your imagination, so long as it fits reasonably in the realm of the world. Majority of people I know don't RP their playable class as their actual class. Sometimes they just happen to play the class that their character is in-character. Myself, and most others, usually go by "IG =/= IC"
I hope this helps.
