    FFXIV totally stepped away from the traditional FF lore is what the problem is. Conjurer is a summoner really. They summon the elementals. They also have cure spells (spirit healing).... and kind of remind me of druid (nature priests concerned over balance and what not). Spell-wise Conjurer fits both Black Mage and White Mage (and they are summoners by name and lore). However, THM is more of a "black" mage in name... seeing as how they use blood magic, enfeebling, life and death... they are a more dark necromancer type mage. Honestly SE should have CON unlock WHM and BLM.... and THM should unlock RDM.... and maybe SCH or whatever. lol

    I actually loved the direction SE went with mages in FFXIV. The lore is wonderful. I am hoping they don't break the lore by messing with CON and THM..... THM getting elemental spells makes no sense at all. It would make more sense to shift Conjurer's cure spells and pro/shell to THM, than it would to move the elemental spells to THM....

    In case people hadn't realized, they have gone with the traditional jobs in only a handful of games since FF hit the Sony platforms. VII, VIII, X, XII, XIII, crystal chronicles games all use their own job system that bares little resemblance to the original jobs. Almost as if they've been avoiding them in the design process.
