Attaching SMN to this poison mage and to SCH was a detriment to SMN thematically and mechanically throughout the years, and even now it struggles to deliver on the job fantasy of the final fantasy summoner. Moreover, you're not actually saving any amount of work by connecting the classes. Even if they wanted to add something like a White Monk, a Templar, or Cleric, they would just have the job be completely independent rather than stapling it to an existing job for no real reason.
No, their mistake was having the branching job go off the same class. I'm suggesting they lock the classes to 30 and make the jobs branch off fresh without any attachment.
