Upper tiers of an action (such as Fire II and Fire III) will be abolished.....

Once you get into some endgame situations you will see that Conjurer is far and away the only one suited for a main healing role for serious battles and is a necessity. In XP and small groups the damage isn't too much for people to recover through themselves (and it should be that way) but in Darkhold/Ifrit/Moogle the extra potency CNJ gets as well as Cura and Curaga make a gigantic difference.

CNJ is able to nuke because fulltime healing and nothing else is impractical and it would severely hinder the class in solo and small party situations where people need to cover multiple roles.

Betelguzah has been giving you valid reasons. Scaling spells removes clutter, makes it easier to balance level-capped content, makes it easier to balance multiclassing, streamlines battles, and is the best way to ensure that abilities stay useful throughout the entire game's life.

Fully agree, People need to remember that jobs are coming. Soon CNJ can be a whm, which will probably make them more of a pure healer. Jobs are meant for party builds while classes are for solo or small groups.

Clutter is a joke. I've never struggled because of tiers, ever. If you don't need to use something, you just don't use it. It's not as if it's all forced upon you. Multi-class balancing was just fine before? At least in FFXI you had to level the other classes to gain access to higher tiered spells. Here, it doesn't make much of a difference. I still say that streamlining is just a cover-up for dumbing-down battles for console users. Usefulness is still subjective.

These reasons are anything but valid. It's a silly complaint about how there's too much clutter, as if there's an insurmountable amount of spells in-game. I will agree that it's probably much easier to balance spells when you don't have to deal with more than 1 tier, but that honestly just sounds like laziness.
