Ignore the white magic if you want then, it doesn't change the fact that your statement "The PLD in Final Fantasy was never really holy." is just wrong. There are incarnations of the job in the Final Fantasy series that are indeed associated with being Holy; you just just choose to ignore the other examples for reasons.

I'm not here to defend the OP's claim of 14's PLD not being Holy enough, but rather if you want to make a statement, at least know what you are talking about.
