Why can't we have jobs with this level of depth and customization in FFXIV?

The game is so "Basic" right now not because they want room to grow it's because basic is simlple to control and balance. Unique gameplay elements can play out unpredictably and turn into things that were not planned (FFXI Ninja for example was originally built as a damage dealer, but became a tank due to players learning to skillfully utilize shadows)

It's a shame I'd prefer more unique gameplay elements and reactionary abillities. The game is currently rotation oriented instead of thought oriented.

Don't see how new gameplay being created by the players themselves is a bad thing. Heck, most of the coil strats are different from how SE intended it (T6 with super slugs for example).

I'm not saying it is a bad thing, it's just something the dev team seems to be clearly avoiding at all costs. Even if it means boiling all classes down to the most basic template of Tank, DPS, Heal
