I’m not saying I agree with everything OP said but lore can be changed so let’s stop using that as a scape goat. That does nothing but tell people the devs limited and boxed themselves in a corner with lore for the jobs. I’m not saying it’s easy to change but it can be done.

In short, the lore of the cards themselves (as well as what was "supposedly" changed) remained intact.
Not to mention that AST still relies on cards as its main mechanic.

What the OP and you suggest would be akin to removing the cards from AST or the faeries from SCH.

Besides, drastically changing lore because some people don't like an aspect of it is a (huge) slippery slope.
Where would that end?

Especially since one of FF14's main strengths is the consistency of its overall lore (class/job included).
