What if the new expansion doesn't a healer or a tank

[Brightshadow]

Might as well quit then. FFXI only had 3 viable tanks for most of it's run and didn't get a fourth until the newest expansion. Even then I heard that one of their tanks doesn't really tank anymore. Someone might have to correct me, but FFXI only has 3, maybe 4 tanks.

Yet how many hours did DPS have to wait to do content? If I remember correctly my PUP and DRG “might” get a party once a week. Plus there wasn’t a real role system in that game, so players decided the roles and of course everyone wanted to be a DPS. Jobs like warrior and samurai could have evolved as tanks but the player base wouldn’t support it. Big reason why now FFXI only has WHM as the only usable healer when Dancer could have been a proper healer if the player base supported it. Just because the majority of the player base wants to be a DPS doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have new exciting ways to heal or tank. Heck I sacrificed my Astrologian main because RDM is so much fun, I wonder how many left the healing/tanking roles because the roles are becoming generic and stale. All healers function similar with scholar being the outlier, and all tanks are similar as well with warrior being a bit different. These roles really need diversity or eventually a large portion of tanks and healers will transition to DPS because they are getting all the new “toys”.
