It still goes back to what I'm saying about SE choosing the lazy yet more work in the future than choosing the right path of finding the good middle ground of adapting. I mean, DRK isn't like what it is in the other games, why can't BLU have a FFXIV adaptation? Yoshi just spews excuses after excuses, half-promises and disappointing compromises that ends in let downs. Remember when he said BLU had to be Limited because "Level 5 Death O12S"?

You can have a fully developed kit while still being able to have it be unlimited while maintaining its Learning system. BLU right now even shows that it can compete at level 50.
the first reason he says its not a job is the learning mechanic. And when you look at what they did with cross jobs, you realize thats a major feature of the regular job system. They want duty joining to be easy, straightforward, have few impediments, and they want players in your duty party to be fairly predictable, and similar.
