It's almost identical to FFXI scholar AF in terms of certain features. And so far, classes (I.e. arcanist, maraduer, etc.) do not have a signature equipment like an AF set.ÂI noticed after taking a second look that summoner was there. Maybe SE has a surprise for us at launch (Or they would like to)? I hope they aren't biting off more than they can chew. I know they're working on arcanist/summoner. It didn't make sense to me why they'd show that in the art for release if it's supposed to be the jobs at launch.
Is it likely there just happens to be a set that looks like a scholar being added to the game? Sure, but that seems like a bad idea because adding Scholar as a job is a highly likely option, so you don't want a regular set to look too much like an AF set.
Also, White Mages(Conjurers) and Black Mages(Thaumaturges) arguable use the same weapons as well, so the book argument is a bit moot as classes/jobs can use similar weapons but different versions of them. Scepter/Staff for Thm, and Wand/Cane for Cnj. They're the same thing, but made different within the game's mechanics etc.
A book can be all kinds of things. A grimoire, a tome, a spellbook, album, atlas, lexicon, etc. etc.
Plus, opening up a branching job system from existing classes could be a good way to squeeze more iconic FF jobs into the game. So it seems likely.
Even if it is another class we don't know about coming (Probably for good reason since fans would want to lay the pressure on) it will be a cool surprise! I'm sure it will turn out fine the game appears to have a lot of support from fans.
