If I've followed the other points of the conversation enough, here would be my suggestion.  I used the 'multiple base' form for my idea.

                   H-Archer
                              A-Crossbowman -> Sniper (Expert at strong ranged attacks)
         C-Hunter
                              W-Woodcutter -> Berserker (Uses axes)
                   H-Woodsman
                               W-Tracker -> Scout (Blue mage type; steals enemy skills, unlocks weaknesses/info)
Citizen (Base)
                              Ct-Spearman -> Pikeman (Heavy infantry, high defense)
                   B-Conscript
                              Ct-Freelancer -> Man-At-Arms (Heavy infantry, high offense)
         C-Brawler
                              R-Thief -> Highwayman (Can pilfer enemies, both melee and ranged attacks)
                   B-Rogue
                              R-Flautist-> Bard (Melee class that can cast status ailment 'magic')



                              Ac-Wizard -> Sorcerer (Standard high offense black mage)
                   N-Acolyte
                              Ac-Heretic -> Conjurer (Standard Summoner class)

                             Ca-Squire -> Knight (Balanced melee swordsman class)
                   P-Cadet
