So, if we restrict our search for evidence to changes we've seen to THM and CNJ since Team Yoshida completed their road map to 2.0:
The massive buffs to THM's offensive magic power were to prepare it for WHM?
And the overhaul to CNJ's healing/raising system were to prepare it for BLM?

But, good sir, we've already addressed the inclusion of so many healing spells to CNJ. We already had Cure, etc. Why change it suddenly before the revamp? We're getting a good month+ to prepare ourselves mentally for a surprise concerning the revamps that are happening. This is the time to change the classes drastically.
