does PLD feel like a holy class yet?

always bothered me when ARR pld only has maybe flash and circle of scorn that has some kind of holy look

The PLD in Final Fantasy was never really holy. You are thinking about D&D (and what spawned from it) here.

If I remember right, in the Japanese version Paladin isn't called Paladin. It's just called Knight.

Right, FFXI and FFXIV Paladins are simply called "Naito" (Knight), this is different from FF9's Beatrix (compared to Steiner) or FF4 Cecil's PLD which was "Paradin/Seiken". Although, FFXI's PLD had Cures/Holy/Flash.

They were in the 3 FFT games.

Yeah i it's just Knight, that said they made it a bit more "holy" if you want to call it that. we got a nice party shield and an heal that is supposed to go to a Party member but can also be cast on yourself.

Knight FF1 : Had low level White Magic. (Up to level 3 white magic)
Knight FF3 : In the remake for the DS they were capable of casting low level White Magic. (Up to Lvl 1 white magic)
Cecil Harvey as a Paladin FF4 : Cecil was able to cast low level White Magic such as Cure, Cura, Esuna, Pro/Shell, Raise, etc.
Paladin FFTA : Had abilities such as Saint Cross and Holy Blade.
Paladin FFTA2 : Similar to the FFTA with Saint Cross and Holy Blade, also recevied Sanctify.
Paladin FFXI : Many White Magic spells, Undead Killer Trait, etc.

Paladin Summary
Throughout the series Paladins and Knights have also been able to equip Holy Swords and Armor.

FFT "Holy Knights" could use "Holy Sword" skills. FF9 Beatrix was a Paladin and could cast mid-tier white magic and 'Holy'.

Give PLD holy...then we'll have everything....except poster boy. Maybe in the 3rd expansion when people realize pld is bad ass as is.

White Magic has nothing to do with "holyness" (else the PLD in FF14 would be "holy" too). That is just your interpretation. Like Khaoticsuccubus said, Paladin is just a Knight.

That would be the literal solution ^^.
