Disciplines are the foundation of the Armory System in Final Fantasy XIV. There are four different base disciplines: War, Magic, Hand, and Land. Each different discipline can divide into several classes. The current weapon or tool equipped defines what class the player character is, with each specific class having different weapons they use.
In addition to the base disciplines, each job fills one of five roles: tank, healer, DPS (which is further divided into melee, physical ranged and magic ranged), crafter, and gatherer. The former three are used for quests which involve combat and duties, while the latter two are for Synthesis and Gathering respectively.
Each of the Disciplines of War and Magic classes also has one or more associated jobs which can be unlocked by leveling the appropriate disciplines and completing the appropriate quests. Equipping a job grants improved stats, and access to powerful, specialized abilities and equipment. Jobs that were not available in A Realm Reborn do not have a base class, instead being unlocked at an increased level (except Blue Mage, which starts at 1 due to having vastly different gameplay from other jobs).

Healers[]
Healers use restorative arts to mend wounded companions. They can also help to mitigate damage, remove detrimental effects, and even bring fallen allies back to life. Description
Healers are further subdivided into two types; Pure Healers which focus on healing already dealt damage assisted with regen effects, and Barrier Healers which focus on pre-emptive healing with shields. Unlike the subdivisions of DPS, these are not considered separate roles for the purposes of learning role actions, but they are considered separate in the Party Finder, and the Duty Finder will attempt to form parties using one of each for 8-man duties.

Sage - protects allies with barriers and augments own attacks using aether-infused nouliths.

Disciples of the Land[]
Disciples of the Land are master gatherers of Eorzea's rich natural resources. In the wild, they may find precious metals, fresh ingredients, and other useful items—even the occasional treasure map. Description
Miner – uses a pickaxe and sledgehammer to mine minerals from the earth.
Botanist – uses a hatchet and scythe to harvest materials from trees and other flora.
Fisher – uses a fishing rod and fishing gig to catch and spear fish and other marine items from rivers, lakes, and seas.
Limited Jobs[]
"Limited Job" is a term used for combat disciplines with a different gameplay and purpose. Currently Blue Mage is the only limited job in the game, whose gameplay is more focused for the single-player challenges of the Masked Carnivale.
The differences when playing a limited job are the following:
They cannot be used to progress in the Main Scenario or other sidequests.
Their weapons only increase the player's Item Level. They don't increase any attributes unless they have materia slots.
Besides the initial one, actions and abilities are learned by special methods instead of leveling or job quests.
They do not work with any Job Gauge, and cannot use Limit Breaks.
Their level cap is lower than the regular jobs.
They cannot use the Duty Finder, nor enter in special instances like Eureka, or Deep Dungeons. However, they can still participate in dungeons, trials, raids, and alliances through preformed parties.
