They seem to be making all classes very similar. White mage and Scholar are getting abilities that are similar to eachother, bard is being encouraged to "sit still" for more damage, smn is going to be getting "stacks"... They appear to be leaning away from the "unique niches" of individual jobs and going for a more "what FLAVOUR of ranged dps / melee dps / healing / tanking would you like?".

It's incredibly frustrating. :<
