FFXIV= you build individuality through glamour, race, and titles. You don't build individuality through class or job or skills because it would be impossible to balance. Hell...it's hard enough to balance the way things are, and people STILL complain over <5% performance between jobs within a role. Compared this to XI where a mythic weapon on Dragoon transformed them from being the worst DPS job to being 200-300% better than the best DPS job without their mythic weapon. Moreover, it's overstated but I'll state it again: having choices and options to differentiate your character from others through traits or skills is an ILLUSION of choice. People will eventually math out the most optimal builds for the highest DPS/Healing/Tanking to be the most efficient for content and then picking anything that ISN'T the meta, means you get booted from content or at least fall below optimal play.

There's already class individuality through their main weapon as well as AF armor, spells, and skills.
