There are really only 5 jobs in this game, less than what the game started with in 1.0.
I have to agree on that one. When I lvl'd SMN and just got Phoenix I was very disappointed by the lack of fanfare. Such a missed opportunity.

And the 5 jobs thing is spot on. Funny thing is, I just had that discussion with a friend of mine today. lol In other FFs jobs are different from one another but in XIV only roles are. And 5.0 didn't do that any favours. The game is certainly past its prime and now it's only about how long you can secure a steady income by catering to the most common denominator.

Still waiting 4 for men raid content. PotD and HoH are way too boring with their randomisation (and you hardly need 4 people to begin with).
