My small brain goes straight to Ninja. But obviously we already have that one.

The TMNT weapons are katana, sai, staff, nunchucks. We already have katana (samurai) and sai (ninja/daggers.) I suppose the staff could be BLM. Maybe there’s a nunchuck/chained mace wielding melee job, or a quarterstaff melee. Maybe a nunchuck/mace melee and another staff caster?

There’s been talk about an alchemist caster in the past - that could hint from the TMNT origin where a scientist creates a mutagen that spills into the sewer and mutates the turtles.

The old TMNT movies featured Jim Henson puppets, so maybe puppet master - a job in FFXI.

The TMNT characters are obviously animals, so… beast master?

I agree that the corsair theories are good though, but corsair has been a gunslinging job in the past, which is currently filled by machinist, and apparently it’s also been confirmed that the new class is not ranged physical. Corsair would need to be some sort of sword/thief job, and that itself seems unlikely at this point.
