Was it too soon to show this? Yes, I agree.
It was kind of necessary after they lowered the job advancement levels.
That was incredibly premature.
Having excess SP in 4th job, all skills maxed by level 180 or so, was pointless and incomplete. It was logical to expect 5th job to be released a few months afterwards. Obviously developing a whole new job for all existing classes - of which there were far fewer back then - was a large task, but we could assume they had been working on it for months or even years, before taking this first public step of lowering job advancement levels.
When months went by and nothing else changed, and especially with the advent of Hyper Skills (which were NOT 5th job and did NOT use the excess SP and did NOT in any way require 4th job to begin at 100), puzzlement grew as to where the foreshadowed 5th job disappeared to.
So they put that V in RED to say "Yeah, it's coming" and try to win more time.
I have no idea why they started pushing out the changes before they had even a glimmer of a concept of what 5th job would be like.
And even less of an idea whether they abandoned it or not.
