The point in my post was that while yes, people do want traditional, the developers can also think a little outside the box. Like RDM. It looks traditional. Has traditional elements; using sword and magic, with light armor. But it's innovative in the fact that they gave it it's own "red magic," so it will have a defined role. They could do the same with BLU, which already has it's own "blue magic," but is difficult to place in FFXIV. Which has been stated in the past. It has also been stated that they are not sure how to implement a "spell learning" system.

So yes, tradition is great and all, but if it doesn't fit, then they have to get creative with it.
