Seriously, do you know how much work they'd have to do to add the Fifth Jobs? They were announced way too early.
First off, they have to revamp all the already existing classes, modify skill max levels and whatnot. (4th Job currently goes from 100 all the way to 250. So we will without a doubt see some max level reductions there.) Then they have to make new animations and skills for every single class in the game. Including ones no one gives a damn about like Mihile. While also trying to keep each class somewhat unique, sticking to their themes without homogenizing them. Which is MUCH easier said than done. And for the Legends, they're probably going to have to write new story for them and their advancements considering they were at 4th Job back when they fought the Black Mage years ago. Kaiser has to become even more powerful than his predecessor was. (Which would make him more powerful than Magnus, seeing how Magnus had to poison the previous Kaiser just to end the battle with a mutual agreed loss.)
And so on.
You can say what you want about MS churning out classes, but they do in fact put plenty of care into them. And even then, the main contributor for why it's taking so long is that they want to release them all at once. If they did them one at a time like most other kMMOs do for advancements these days, we'd already be seeing them, but it'd still take just as long for all of them to be released.
