The idea that none of these things could exist has three problems.
1. Anything could exist in this new world due to the power of narrative, even if they were just reskinned or otherwise explained in some specific way. The impact it would have on the grander narrative is exciting and anyone that feels that the current lore is sacred probably knows at most a quarter of the broader details at best.
2. The idea that this new place would not be able to innovate and invent every same fighting style on their own terms is not supported by the one document we have that compares the two different areas' societal and technological progression. Verglas is literally just 'kicks but with cold' and engineer is literally just 'magic but put it in a hard thing and make the magic stay there.' They're not tied to the old lore in any super restrictive way.
3. It'd be really, really boring. This is the biggest reason why I don't understand why people keep insisting that we axe classes and put up applications for half of what's left. This game is easily five years too late to become Eternia and this new map and new content is coming out far too early to have an entire roster of new classes and races to rival the old to keep builds diverse and interesting. Unless Dev has been working on this forever and getting new art assets for bear girls and other off brand monster girls after we've exhausted literally every set of attractive animal ears on Sigrogana content, people are basically asking for a world full of really mediocre humans but with slightly different horns than Zerans and Reapers.
