Wow, this thread picks up after like a year hiatus and people are confused by it, it seems. Let me try and answer what has been added to the thread.

The question wasn't in regards to the jobs history in the series or irl history, but towards its depiction in FFXIV.

The classes do seem to show a bit more diversity, mostly with the races, but genders too. But the Jobs aren't bad, just skewed with the tank and healer representation.

I can't change the title, but it's not misleading. And it doesn't matter it was just a hypothetical. But given the current issues going on, it does show a bit of a bias that might exist. Not saying one does, it just points that way.

The simple explanation is this: when a new job is added a new Warrior of Light is added to the current XIV party. That new warrior is going to be the representative for that job. All of the artwork for the tanks depict a male character and all of the artwork for healers depicts female characters. My question was, would people like to see a male character represent the next healer job and a female represent the next tank job. (This only includes official artwork, cgi and supplementary artwork do not count.)

It doesn't matter, it was just a hypothetical.

It's not a troll thread, though I can see why people might think that given the current issues.

Why am I goofy? Maybe I'm Donald?

The question wasnt about masculinity or femininity, but the actual character that represents the job, should they be male or female.
