I'd like to see the quote of Yoshi saying that. I remember in our last letter he stated:
Q24: Will we be able to equip different types of weapons in the future?
A24: Hmmm. While I don’t want to say no, I personally think it’s better to just add new classes/jobs instead.
So while I wouldn't mind if two similar jobs get branched, I like where his head is currently. I'd be very nice for many people if ARC > RNG/BRD was an option, since they'll still be using bows, and the stats and ARC abilities don't conflict with RNG. The GLA > DRK is very contrary. Not because of the weapon, because FFT DRKs did use swords also. The stats and abilities are too defensive in nature.
While I'd rather an entire new class for SCH, I can follow the logic behind branching if they're both using books. The stats don't or shouldn't differ too greatly.
E3 is almost here! Hopefully it will clear up much of the convoluted speculation.

That'd be really stupid considering SCH in XI uses grimoires.
I still suspect it's Arcanist > Scholar and Something Else > Summoner.
I find that very agreeable. We always got the "subject to change disclaimer."
