Hey guys, thanks for your responses! I'll (hopefully) address everything in this post, so if I miss something, feel free to slap me with a trout and call me on it, haha.

@Everyone:
So yeah, that's what's on the horizon at some point in the near future. Any suggestions and feedback are welcomed as always, and I'm glad to see people are still interested in this little weird patch of mine, haha.
EDIT:
For people wondering what I have in mind for monster/special unit skills, they're more or less the same, except for some choice changes. Adelle in particular is proving to be a struggle for me, but I think I might make her skillset very high-risk, high-reward. Possibly revolving around a rotation of Astra/Reraise and having her skills be massively potent, but killing her in the process (as a way of showing that she's not used to her Heritor powers quite yet), but I'm undecided yet.
@Chocolatemoose:
Yeah, I wasn't feeling that previous form of Berserker either. It felt very non-organic, and I want my jobs to feel organic and smooth, even if they end up being a little unbalanced (since that can always be fixed later). War Medic should feel far more natural and mesh well with other units, hopefully giving Seeq a little more love. Doc's Code would indeed work similarly to Bulwark, and Blast Wave is kind of a filler skill for now. I ultimately want them to have an AoE skill that can knock multiple units away so that they can get closer to their allies.
On the topic of Seeq, I'm trying to come up with a new job to replace them. The tricky part is that I only have four skills to work with, since Thunder/Thundara/Thundaga/War Cry are being used by other jobs. My current thought was a Red Mage-like job, using both Thunder and Water magicks, while being able to hit hard with their axes. I haven't settled on a concept yet though, and Viking is an interesting enough job to warrant having a truly fleshed-out concept.

@Zeke:
Terrible as I know this may sound, I'm aware that it may cause a glitch, but frankly, it's a cool enough effect that I don't mind. There are bound to be some smaller issues given how much I'm changing everything, and it's not game breaking, so I'm willing to tolerate it.
@Baron Samedi:
I'm glad that I was able to inspire you! I'm eager to see your finished work, and please, if you see an idea you like feel free to use it! As a community (especially one as small as A2's modding scene), it's important that we share and work off of each others' work. That's how improvement happens!
Allow me to address each of your points individually, and then I'll give everyone an update on where things fall idea wise as of right now.
Solder: Soldiers aren't meant to be particularly interesting, since they're much akin to FFT's Squire and Knight jobs. MP Gift was mostly designed as a way to help mages early-game and for non-mage jobs with their MP woes.
Black Mage: I've been playing a lot of FFXIV lately, which is where a lot of my inspiration has come from. I agree that the Black Mage's spells all feel very same-y, and I've been wanting to change them up for a while now. Here's where the challenge stands: I still want FFTA2 GG to feel like a FF game. Removing -ra and -ga spells feels counter to that. I think what may end up happening with Black Mage is that -ra and -ga spells remain, but have slightly different effects. For example, Blizzara might deal damage to a single target with a chance of Immobilizing it. Or Fira might deal damage in a small area with a chance to inflict Oil. Something like that. The other thing to keep in mind is that many monsters use -ra and -ga spells, meaning I have to keep their styles in mind as well (namely for Flans). That's why Black Mage is a little tricky to work with.
White Mage: Much like with the Black Mage, I agree (though I'd argue White Mage doesn't suffer quite as much for it). If Cure/Cura/Curaga did change, I'd probably make a normal healing AoE spell, a large AoE, small healing spell, and a single target large healing spell that bestowed Regen. Still, that would be a later update.
Thief: Thief has been a job I've been making one rehaul to after another throughout the years it feels like. I agree that some of their skills are somewhat boring, and I like the Steal Evasion idea. Realistically, I would likely keep Mug (since it basically replaces Attack- it's free, does the same thing as Attack, and steals Gil in addition to the damage), Change Loot I to Steal Evasion (or some semblance thereof), and turn Loot II into something like Steal Speed. The reason I hesitate on that though is because they're still Thieves- stealing things is their gig. Granted, it is canon. In Revenant Wings, Vaan could steal enemy stats.
Fighter: Please see below. I'm planning a few changes with Fighter, and Air Blast is chief among those changes.
Samurai: Samurai has always been meant to be a close-and-personal job, so I'm mostly fine with their skill ranges at the moment. As for damage output, I agree that it's been something that has been very tricky to get just right. I think what may end up happening is that they'll either deal physical damage (which might be the best option, since it'll give people some much needed physical abilities), or it'll continue dealing magical damage, but will ignore the enemy's Resistance. I haven't decided which I quite prefer yet, so that may need some experimenting.
Ninja: Ninja may actually be getting a complete rehaul soon, see below. That being said, Throw will almost always be a guaranteed keep on Ninja, mostly to reference FFT. Maybe if I play around with it enough I can make Grenades into Throw-only weapons.
Necromancer: I can definitely see where people are coming from with the criticism of Necromancer. Fun fact- the initial idea with Necromancer was almost exactly what you described. Potent effects on Undead units, a slightly lesser effect on living units. The challenge is that I simply don't have description line space enough to inform the player of what those secondary effects would be. Something I learned from FFTA GG is that correct descriptions are paramount, and I don't want to sacrifice that. That being said, 4/8 of the skills can be used in any fight, regardless of if there's Undead or not. I would argue that this is just a case of using it when Undead are around and perhaps not using it when there aren't, but Tainted Love and Brainrot are pretty useful all around.
Warrior: Body Slam will likely remain, but I'm planning on possibly retooling Greased Lightning, please see below for more details.
Dragoons: Ah, Dragoons. FFTA/A2 hasn't been kind to you. Dragoons have been on my to-do list for years, but I literally haven't been able to come up with something that'll do them justice. Jump (their stat and the skill) will likely be buffed, with Jump having increased range (but dealing less damage). Each of the Breath attacks will have a different effect, etc. Please see below for more details!
Myrmidon: It's okay! I completely agree! Myrmidon is on the list to be completely revamped. I realized I got a little carried away with the breaking abilities and I instead want to make the Myrmidon into a new job, which will focus on the use of Shields for defense and offense. Please see below for more details! (My apologies that I keep on saying that, but Bangaa are getting a desperately needed overhaul, haha.)
Gladiator: Ultima Blade is likely going to become Llednar's Alpha, which will deal heavy damage to an adjacent target, but we'll see. There were going to be some other small changes to their skills, such as making their three elemental abilities become physical skills that also buff the user- effectively making them stronger the more blood they draw from the target.
Oracle: Oracles may be getting a Future Sight-like attack (think Pokemon- the user attacks, and the damage hits the target a little later- Cannoneers have this right now, but this would be a magical/AoE variant), but I would need to test it first.
Bishop: Bishops are going to be slightly retooled as well. Break will be becoming a powerful AoE Earth spell with a chance to inflict Immobilize (to give them something later on with Holy as well as a rare Earth option), and Pilfer will likely become Renew, to fully restore a single target's HP. This would give them a slightly better magical skillset to pair with Oracle, Templar, or Trickster.
Templars: Templars are also getting a few new tricks (geez, I didn't realize until now how many Bangaa changes were coming down the pipeline). Namely, they're going to be better at protecting themselves against magicks, will have some bloat cut (I'm looking at you, Rasp and Soul Sphere), and just become a little more interesting.
Cannoneer: I respectfully disagree with you about Cannoneer. As for there being no real magical ranged jobs, just about any mage in the world has ranged magical options, haha. I like their gimmicks, and I think Vanilla A2 did a pretty cool job with them.
Alchemist/Sage: I'm coupling these two together because, frankly, I hate them both. I don't hate their jobs necessarily, but I hate how they're basically two halves of one whole. Ideally, Sage should be the ultimate magic job, which is why they have Ultima. But then you have Alchemist, with Item innate (which I wholeheartedly agree with), who can use Flare, Meteor, etc. Those kinds of high-end spells should be better suited to Sages. The only reason Transmute has stuck around as long as it has is because I like the concept, and it's one of the few things that make Alchemists feel like Alchemists. I'm admittedly not sure what to do about them, but it's been vexing me for some time.
Scholar: I liked Vigilance and Teleport as well, but sadly, they broke the game in one way or another. Bravery and Faith are Ivalice staples though, and are great to use if you have nothing else to do (namely at the start of battle).
Animst: Oh boy, Animist. Another job that's been on the chopping block for some time. See below (again, lol).
Fusilier: With the changes to Myrmidon, I think I like where Fusilier stands right now. I promise it'll be more worth it when I can edit enemy formations!
Corsair: So, stupid me forgot to give them the ability to use Guns. That'll be changing next update.
Chocobo Knight: This will probably be revamped, so each Chocobo Knight will be far more specialized based on the Chocobo being ridden. Like you said, not too much to be done about this, but I'll certainly tinker with it.
Fencer: Fencers are getting a minor buff next update, with Shadowstick dealing damage with a chance of Slow. I'll have to look into Retreat though. It's been a minute, but I swear that worked for me when I was testing it.
Green Mage: Green Mages are going to be getting a buff, but if anything it'll be more of a stat buff. The struggle is that literally all of their skills are also used by other things, so changing them too much becomes chaotic. They'll likely end up having a higher ATK and DEF to make them more battlemage-y (is that a word?) and allow them to better enter the front lines and smash skulls.
Occultist: Another fun fact- Possess was originally supposed to consume 20% of the user's HP to control a target. Due to how the game uses Control, it ignores any other effects tied to a skill, so Possess has to be free by nature of it being Control. As for Offering, it's on my to-buff list. It'll likely end up costing a percentage of maximum HP instead of all HP.
Summoner: Summons are boring, but effective. You won't find any large AoE source of Regen or Reflect, or healing and debuff removing at the same time. I'm pretty happy with them how they are... and if you want flashy summon effects, I'd advise seeing what I have planned below.
Spellblade: No need to worry, more MP costs are being added to Spellblade, so that's already taken care of!
Ranger: Fun fact time (yet again). I originally wanted Rangers to be able to set traps in an AoE. Unfortunately (likely due to memory limits), the game only allows you to set one at a time. Truthfully, I'm enamored with Traps. The fact that you could set them in A2 (unlike FFT), blew me away when I was younger. I increased their Range in a prior update to allow you to set them at more suitable chokepoints, but I agree that they're still somewhat underwhelming. That said, they'll be staying until I can find some way to upgrade them.
Reaver: Dawnblade will probably become Shadowblade, since that's what it was in FFT: WotL. I made this job ages ago, so I must not have noticed it. They'll both be becoming Dark Elemental. Not sure how I missed that all this time, haha.
Viking: Ugh, Viking. Please see above. Tsunami is definitely getting a buff of some sort though, if it lasts.
Ravager: Ravagers actually were changed, in a way similar to the Daemon. Ravagers require the user to be Prime'd, but for them to be afflicted with Prime, they need to wait three turns and survive that long. If they do, they become Prime'd and have access to powerful physical blows. Unlike Daemon however, the Prime buff doesn't wear off upon using an attack. Therefore, they're mighty glaciers. Slow and powerful, but they can be struck down easily, and they have to re-Prime upon being revived.
Dancer: Dancer will likely be nerfed ever so slightly, but it's not a huge mark on my to-do list yet.
Monsters: I like your idea in regards to this, and I'd be interested in crunching numbers with you. Numbers (MP in particular) is a tough spot of mine, so any help would be appreciated!

@Everyone:
Okay, so I've been working diligently, taking a magnifying glass to every single job and seeing what needs tweaked and what can stay. Here's what I came up with. Thoughts are of course always welcome.
Soldier:
-Rend MP would deal full MP damage to the target as well as HP damage. Previously, it only did 25% of that damage as MP.
Thief:
-Steal Gil will likely be renamed Mug, for clarity's sake.
-Loot will possibly become Steal SPD, which inflicts Slow on an adjacent target and bestows Haste on the user.
-Loot II will possibly become Steal EVD, which inflicts Evasion Down on an adjacent target and bestows Evasion Up on the user.
Archer:
-Leg Shot will deal full weapon damage. Previously, it only did 50% weapon damage. If the damage lands, it will also have a 100% chance of Rooting the target for a single turn.
-Blackout will deal full weapon damage. Previously, it only did 50% weapon damage.
Paladin:
-Parley is now Ward, which grants Invincibility and Astra to the user.
-Saint Cross now deals damage and Blinds enemies around the user.
-War Cry now inflicts Slow and Attack Down on surrounding enemies.
Fighter:
-Air Blast is now Reckoning, which debuffs the user and then deals damage based on the amount of debuffs the user has been afflicted with.
Samurai:
-Iaido abilities will now either deal physical damage, or will continue doing magical damage, but will ignore Resistance (undecided as of yet.)
Ninja:
-Ninja will be totally rehauled, focusing on increasing its Speed while nailing distant enemies with elemental magical effects until it gets close enough to kill.
1) Throw- same as Vanilla.
2) Huton- Bestows Haste on the user with a small chance to Quicken it.
3) Katon- Deals Fire damage in a small AoE with limited range, has a chance to inflict Oil.
4) Hyoton- Deals Ice damage to a single target and Roots it.
5) Raiton- Deals heavy Thunder damage to a single target.
6) Doton- Inflicts Blind and Poison to surrounding units with perfect accuracy.
7) Suiton- Deals Water damage to a single target and bestows Vanish on the user.
8) Fuuma- Deals 50% weapon damage to a distant target.
Hunter:
-Drill Shot now deals Defense-ignoring physical damage in a line in front of the user.
Warrior:
-Greased Lightning is now Omnislash, which deals two weapon strikes to a single target within range.
-Lifetap is now Mangle, which deals weapon damage to a single target with a chance to inflict Speed Down.
Dragoon:
-Jump now has 6 Range and deals 50% weapon damage with normal accuracy, no longer requires a Spear to use.
-Wyrmtamer is now Reis Wind, which bestows the user with Regen and Move Up.
-Fire Breath now has a chance to inflict Defense Down.
-Ice Breath now has a chance to inflict Immobilize.
-Thunder Breath now has a chance to inflict Slow.
-Bangaa Cry now knocks the targets back and inflicts Rooted rather than inflicting Defense Down.
Myrmidon:
-Myrmidon is now Warden, a job that focuses on balancing offense and defense with Shields, whose skills require a Shield to be used. I haven't decided on a skillset just yet, and I'd need to play around with their arsenal since they can currently only use two-handed weapons, but the basic idea is that they use Shields in an offensive capability, attacking and then immediately assuming a defensive stance.
Gladiator:
-Fire Soul is now Bloodlust, which deals damage to an adjacent enemy and bestows Focus on the user.
-Thunder Assault is now Rip and Tear, which deals damage to an adjacent enemy and bestows Attack Up on the user.
-Blizzard Tackle is now Juggulate, which deals damage to an adjacent enemy and bestows Critical Up on the user.
-Ultima Sword is now Omega, which deals 2x damage to an adjacent target.
Oracle:
-Hex now deals Dark damage and inflicts Resilience Down.
-Lubrication is now Omniscence, which deals magical damage to units in a small area next turn.
Bishop:
-Break now deals heavy Earth damage in a small AoE with a chance to inflict Immobilize.
-Pilfer is now Renew, which fully restores the target's HP.
Templar:
-Piercing Cry is now Crucible, which deals weapon damage to a target and removes all of its buffs.
-Discipline is now Aegis, which bestows Reflect, Shell, Resistance Up, and Resilience Up on the user.
-Soul Sphere is now Inquisition, which deals MP damage to surrounding units and inflicts Magick Down.
-Lifebreak is now Judgement, which deals weapon damage to a target and inflicts Silence with perfect accuracy.
Trickster:
-Mug is now Con, which attacks a target with a chance to delay its turn.
Daemon:
-Daemons move normally now, lose Innate: Teleport.
-Dark Holy deals slightly increased damage.
Fencer:
-Shadowstick now deals weapon damage with a chance to inflict Slow.
Green Mage:
-Green Mages gain increased HP, ATK, and DEF.
Occultist:
-Offering now decreases the user's HP by 90%, rather than outright killing it.
Spellblade:
-Paradigm Shift now costs 22 MP to use.
-Sanguinate now costs 24 MP to use.
Animist:
-Animist is now Evoker, which will use Summons similarly to Summoners, but their Summons will have dual effects depending on the targets. This functionality will need to be tested and I'll need to figure out descriptions, but basically, each Summon would have a different effect based on who's in the area when it's used. Each Summon would have a Light/Dark effect, based on if it hits an ally or the enemy. For example, Carbuncle may bestow Astra to allies caught in the AoE, whereas it may Dispel on enemies caught in the AoE.
Berserker:
-Berserker is now War Medic, with the changes planned as outlined above.
Reaver:
-Shadowblade is now Dark Elemental and consumes 18 MP.
-Duskblade is now Dark Elemental.
Soldier:
-Rend MP would deal full MP damage to the target as well as HP damage. Previously, it only did 25% of that damage as MP.
Thief:
-Steal Gil will likely be renamed Mug, for clarity's sake.
-Loot will possibly become Steal SPD, which inflicts Slow on an adjacent target and bestows Haste on the user.
-Loot II will possibly become Steal EVD, which inflicts Evasion Down on an adjacent target and bestows Evasion Up on the user.
Archer:
-Leg Shot will deal full weapon damage. Previously, it only did 50% weapon damage. If the damage lands, it will also have a 100% chance of Rooting the target for a single turn.
-Blackout will deal full weapon damage. Previously, it only did 50% weapon damage.
Paladin:
-Parley is now Ward, which grants Invincibility and Astra to the user.
-Saint Cross now deals damage and Blinds enemies around the user.
-War Cry now inflicts Slow and Attack Down on surrounding enemies.
Fighter:
-Air Blast is now Reckoning, which debuffs the user and then deals damage based on the amount of debuffs the user has been afflicted with.

Hunter:
-Drill Shot now deals Defense-ignoring physical damage in a line in front of the user.
Warrior:
-Greased Lightning is now Omnislash, which deals two weapon strikes to a single target within range.
-Lifetap is now Mangle, which deals weapon damage to a single target with a chance to inflict Speed Down.
Dragoon:
-Jump now has 6 Range and deals 50% weapon damage with normal accuracy, no longer requires a Spear to use.
-Wyrmtamer is now Reis Wind, which bestows the user with Regen and Move Up.
-Fire Breath now has a chance to inflict Defense Down.
-Ice Breath now has a chance to inflict Immobilize.
-Thunder Breath now has a chance to inflict Slow.
-Bangaa Cry now knocks the targets back and inflicts Rooted rather than inflicting Defense Down.
Myrmidon:
-Myrmidon is now Warden, a job that focuses on balancing offense and defense with Shields, whose skills require a Shield to be used. I haven't decided on a skillset just yet, and I'd need to play around with their arsenal since they can currently only use two-handed weapons, but the basic idea is that they use Shields in an offensive capability, attacking and then immediately assuming a defensive stance.
Gladiator:
-Fire Soul is now Bloodlust, which deals damage to an adjacent enemy and bestows Focus on the user.
-Thunder Assault is now Rip and Tear, which deals damage to an adjacent enemy and bestows Attack Up on the user.

-Daemons move normally now, lose Innate: Teleport.
-Dark Holy deals slightly increased damage.
Fencer:
-Shadowstick now deals weapon damage with a chance to inflict Slow.
Green Mage:

Occultist:
-Offering now decreases the user's HP by 90%, rather than outright killing it.
Spellblade:
-Paradigm Shift now costs 22 MP to use.
-Sanguinate now costs 24 MP to use.
Animist:
-Animist is now Evoker, which will use Summons similarly to Summoners, but their Summons will have dual effects depending on the targets. This functionality will need to be tested and I'll need to figure out descriptions, but basically, each Summon would have a different effect based on who's in the area when it's used. Each Summon would have a Light/Dark effect, based on if it hits an ally or the enemy. For example, Carbuncle may bestow Astra to allies caught in the AoE, whereas it may Dispel on enemies caught in the AoE.
Berserker:
-Berserker is now War Medic, with the changes planned as outlined above.
Reaver:
-Shadowblade is now Dark Elemental and consumes 18 MP.
-Duskblade is now Dark Elemental.
So yeah, that's what's on the horizon at some point in the near future. Any suggestions and feedback are welcomed as always, and I'm glad to see people are still interested in this little weird patch of mine, haha.
EDIT:
For people wondering what I have in mind for monster/special unit skills, they're more or less the same, except for some choice changes. Adelle in particular is proving to be a struggle for me, but I think I might make her skillset very high-risk, high-reward. Possibly revolving around a rotation of Astra/Reraise and having her skills be massively potent, but killing her in the process (as a way of showing that she's not used to her Heritor powers quite yet), but I'm undecided yet.
