BMs will always be more popular than MMs, doesn't matter what happens. I'm thinking bishops will lose a lot of popularity. Not that they'll be unpopular, but just the reason pretty much everyone with 3+ chars in 4th job has at least one bishop is hs+gen. FPs, I don't really know. They'll probably stay about the same as they are now. MMs should become a bit more popular relative to BMs, but it won't be much of a contest. NLs will probably take a hit, but still maintain pretty high numbers like their bishop counterparts.
My bet for least played class after the updates would be FP, as they now can't ultimate train, they have average (at best) abilities, and nothing but MW to aid parties with. And the idea of a fire and poison mage itself isn't very popular just like a crossbow user. Fire's cool, but poison doesn't really inspire a lot of "wow cool / I bet that's fun to play" for someone looking to play a magician in an mmorpg.
