    That's not the same equivalence.

    SMN and SCH don't just share a weapon type, they share arcanist. Arcanist uses grimoires, has a specific battle stance and a book-reading "idle with weapon drawn" pose. SMN and SCH share all these things, and thus it's logical (if undesirable) that their bstance and vpose animations are also shared.

    WHM and BLM have never shared these aspects despite their weapon types being physically similar. There is no crossover in the specific weapons they equip, and their stances are entirely different.

    You're discussing class/job related lore and battle mechanics.
    That has nothing to do with how one chooses to celebrate a battle.

    It does relate because it's about the programming that drives the emote. It's based on class. You're effectively saying "CNJ and THM have different emotes so why can't ACN and ACN?"... and that's why the comparison doesn't work. It isn't the same situation at a programming level.
