    As a NIN main I'm not really fond of the idea of having to have positionals (I'll deal but still not fond) but nothing about having positionals added screams job homogenization to me.
    Adding positionals to a job in which play difficulty and distinctive style do not entail positionals being the primary difficulty is homogenization of the job.

    It would be the same as if MNK's forms were made to be used similar to mudras, and were suddenly changed to be required to be used manually rather than changing automatically. Or if GL stacks did not stack automatically. Then MNK would be strolling towards the playstyle that NIN has.

    NIN is a class about managing multiple timers and buffs/debuffs at the same time, MNK is a class about maximizing positionals for higher DPS. NIN's old skills being changed to require positioning for maximum DPS is making the job much more like MNK, except with the added downsides of possibly higher difficulty, and definitely lower DPS.
