Google translate is wildly inaccurate, but it sounds pretty similar over on the JP forums from what I can understand.

This has been going on since the beginning of FFXI, and isn't really endemic to this expansion. There will always be more people who want to thwack things, but SE will never have endgame events that do not require healers and buffers in some fashion. It simply won't happen.

Many people who play those jobs would prefer to play something else, but they see the long game and realize that they are helping make the event possible. In the process, they are getting rewards for themselves and everyone else. It may not be AS fun as <insert DD job>, but it's part and parcel of FFXI at this point. Ideally, groups should try to shake things up for members as best they can so they don't get pigeonholed.

As long as things are getting done it shouldn't really matters. I'm personally trying to pimp my mages job, slowly but surely, and I'm trying to force my LS mates to do the same, so the mages could be DDs and the DDs could be mages.
And some mages jobs are fun to play.

Oh, cool. Well you should have said so sooner. I'm sure everyone will change their minds now that they know how you feel and just start liking things they didn't like before. I mean just because a game isn't fun doesn't mean you shouldn't keep paying for it right? There's other reasons to play like self hatred and masochism too I guess.

I'll have to try your argument with my old lady when I get home...

<her> Ewww... that's gross. Stop it.
<me> As long as things are getting done it shouldn't really matters.
<her> Oh, okay. Well since you put it that way...

Something tells me this won't end well.

Server down on a Friday, EU primetime with NA coming up, is a pretty good reason for a game to phail.
