Yojimbo-- sword attacks (elemental/status) and a sacrifice ability that heals others. It has Hamedo and a Critical up support.
Devout-- All the -ra spells and a combo spell/teleport attack. Can wear Ribbons and ignore Reflect.
Master Monk has a lot of attacks. one breaks armor, one is holy, one has something to do with countering. Their counter knocks people away.
Cannoneer is basically the Bangaa gunner job.
Trickster uses status effects.
Arcane Mage uses spells classified as Arcane Magick in XII. Gravity, Death etc.
Scholar uses books for weird effects.
Magic Fencer has status sword attacks (Oil Sword, Confuse Sword etc.) Their support lets them use up HP instead of MP.
Green Mage uses Protect, Shell and other buffs. New spells increase movement and boost accuracy. Their support is Spellbound from XII.
Magic Gunner supports your party from long range.Potion shot restores a bit of HP. Ether Shot gives you MP.
Ranger uses bows, sets up and disables traps, and can reverse/boost item effects.
Lanista is sort of like a Gladiator/Dark Knight.
Vikings use axes. They have an ability that only works in water, Thunder spells.
Bastard is the Gria heavy weapon job.
Raptor is like Soldier/Warrior, but they can break things.

Let's see what kind of explanations I can pull out of my ***. Keep in mind that these are largely based on instinct and experience and nothing comes from any kind of official source better then the class system of previous games.
Devout- uber white mage M Monk- upgraded version of monk (I always wondered why specify white monk.) Cannoneer- a variation of gunner Trickster- I sense status effects Scholar- free libra/scan & good with items (Hopefully this is wrong.) M Fencer- variation of fencer that deals magic damage M Gunner- variation of gunner that deals magic damage Ranger- variation of archer, similar to sniper Viking- good defensive powerhouse

scholar sounds a bit like the ones out of fire emblem that use books...more likely they'll use some kind of staff or measures though. Like I said, yojimbo should be a human assassin that would be cool.

Crap, these "break" abilities. Wonder if any of them is going to be able to break equipments . I'd hate to have a weapon like Excalibur2 or Masamune 100 broken by an enemy's skill.

Try just adjusting threat assessment. If you see someone capable of breaking just have 3 or 4 people slaughter him. That works well for me.

I think the scholar may be like the one from FF3 if anyone has played that...

Scholars make use of things like the digits of your levels (like SLv. Flare in FFTA), heights, day and such.
Arcane Mage is well... Your typical Arcane Mage. Drain, Osmose and such.
Devout has Magic Burst, which makes you attack the target (with your weapon) after you cast your Magic. Otherwise, nothing special as he only has Lv. 2 magic in general.
Yojimbo is broken with its double-damage skills.
Cannonner (Bangaa) is slow, but has high range and is a fantastic support character for mages with Ether Shot (60 Mp is alot). If he gets stats from a Master Monk (strength and mainly offensive range) or Trickster (speed and mainly support)
Master Monk has a weaker version of Yojimbo's double-damage skills, but it's still something. Has overall the best offensive stats for a bangaa.
Trickster: High range and fantastic magic and speed stats (10 Mag, 88% Speed), but status effects moves generally aren't good in FFTA2.
Magic Gunner: A toned down version of Cannonner. I heard they had to reload after each shot, so that's not good, especially with their terrible speed stats.
Chocobo Knight: Best speed stat (99% chance) but his other stats are terrible. Though it's nice riding a Chocobo.
Magic Fencer: Comes with damaging status effect moves. Meh.
Green Mage: Your typical status inducing, status buffing green mage. Low stats (compared to others) and doesn't really have alot of decent moves other than her buffs.
Ranger: X-Potion + Reverse Item = Broken x]
Geomancers make use of the enviroment and season. Meh.

They just changed the name of yojimbo to samurai. So when the Us game cmes out it will be called samurai
Samurai- They use a sword and use lots of elemental based moves ex.Arcana blade tenrai
magic gunner- Use lots of neat guns/cannons, has a unique move called cura shot(cures who you choose to shoot)
chocobo knight- They learn abilities based on what chocobo they ride. Moves include chocobo attack,chocobo meteor,Chocobo cure etc.
