I hope 5th jobs comes with A LOT of development to each individual job's story. So many jobs got story that just end in a "to be continued" only to never be developed again. At the very least give each a pleasant clousure.
As for abilities, I'm with Khanie here. Unless they do something like restructuring jobs from ground to 5th job, I only see this as another power boost. Most jobs gameplay has already been well rounded, most jobs already got everything they could need, and whatever they don't and could work on making them better is already in another of the 3x other jobs out there. Take Hero for example, I tried to come up with ideas of ways to improve the job with 5th advancement and here is how it turned out.
- I wanted to suggest they should make combos into a small energy pool so we use Brave Slash as a means to keep the pool filled while use our finishers like Coma, Incising and (insert 5th job finisher) to as our main damage source, but hey guess what? SOUNDS LIKE DEMON SLAYER!.
- Or they should get rid of combo attack for Heroes, maybe switch it into something else, like a momentum-metter where the more hits you deal or enemies you kill the stronger you get, oh wait? THATS FREAKING ARAN !
- What about making finishers into acrobatic attacks that increase the mobility of Heroes? like Incising turning into a raising slash that allows to move vertically, Coma into a fast slash forward through monsters, and (insert 5th job skill) into a rolling slash while jumping over monsters... HAYATO, DAWN WARRIOR, ZERO
- Maybe add finisher versions of skills like Rush, and that chain skill, then make it so combos only charge through critical hits and finishers can only be used with a full charged combo count, then increase by A LOT the damage of all finishers deal so they can be used as 1HKO abilities depending on the situation. Problem is:
A) Most heroes already kill everything with 1 Brave slash
B) Muliple hit abilities would screw the critical combo charge system.
The combo attack system already feels like a pretty lame version of other systems out there, which you cannot improve without making combo into a copy of those. Problem is without combo attack, Heroes lose the main element of their gameplay identity
