    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.
    So which other statements? About every Final Fantasy has some kind "holy" weapon that can be equipped by some character (is the Dragoon holy because he can equip a holy lance in some games?), some even have it as a simple elemental status iirc. I doubt that is what the OP wants when he asks about the PLD being more holy.

    I don't know about the FF:T spinoffs, never really played one, but from a quick read it seems to be the same there.

    If you want some kind of holy knight that throws around holy light and is really close with his deity, that is just not the Final Fantasy depiction of a Paladin.

    Edit:
    This is what a Paladin is in this game:
    For centuries, the elite of the Sultansworn have served as personal bodyguards to the royal family of Ul'dah. Known as paladins, these men and women marry exquisite swordplay with stalwart shieldwork to create a style of combat uncompromising in its defense. Clad in brilliant silver armor, they charge fearlessly into battle, ever ready to lay down their lives for their liege.
    To be a paladin is to protect, and those who choose to walk this path will become the iron foundation upon which the party's defense is built.

    Edit 2:

    I am sorry, I almost missed the insult. I played about every Final Fantasy from the main series up to 12. Most of them when they were new. I think I am qualified to make that statement.
