A plea for 3.0 and beyond: Job Customization

[Miitan]

The reason why this won't work in FFXIV is because of the Trinity that Yoshi P loves so much and how the entire game is structured around ensuring that the Trinity is always kept to. They don't want tanks who can heal, they don't want dps who can heal, they don't want dps who can tank and the fact that healers and tanks can (semi)dps seems to be the elephant in the room when it comes to the Trinity, as if they're ok with some job roles intersecting, but not others.

You know what was fun? During the early days of ROG levelling, people were cross classing Physick and doing low level dungeons as ROGx4. Of course, the minute you turned into a NIN, you lost access to any interesting combinations as you were funnelled into your predefined role as a dps, and the bonus to stats from becoming a NIN meant that it just wasn't worthwhile to stay ROG.
