Job Personalization: Can I Have It?

[Dhex]

And I didn't suggest that. I was directly responding to the passive/agressive post that was insulting players who acknowledge the glaring problems of specializations/customization.

Whenever someone makes a suggestion they more often than not have the tendency to pretend that everything will just be roses. What you want will bring about some obvious problems and it's perfectly reasonable for other players to oppose them.

Theoretically we should all be able to parse exactly the same and move and perform rotations exactly the same play the best Job choice and be perfectly optimal; but we're not computers.
Currently Jobs have no wiggle room, and content only has enough wiggle room to allow for different Job combinations.

How can you claim that their is a negative consequence to something before the developers even try it?

There is already a "best" and the other options are just illusions right? Why bother putting in three gear sets when only one or two pieces are any good?
Why bother giving players allocated stat bonuses?
Why give us different races?

When BiS gear, best stat allotment, best Job for a specific party slot - why not eliminate everything that isn't "best"?

The truth is it's all irrelevant so - why not add customization and give the game some depth - if it's imbalanced things get changed, Jobs come in and out of style - apparently there is already a right/best way to do things already anyway.

Remember when Black Mage was the only caster to bring to anything? I do.
