    That's a semantic argument, and my point wasn't even about what specifically killed Chemist, only that for some reason or other, they didn't get it in for Heavensward or Endwalker, not for lack of trying each time.

    only if it sufficiently differentiates itself, which pretty much requires that the devs reverse their stance on homogeneity being the best thing since sliced bread.
    ... you're complaining about homogeneity in the same breath you point out that they chose not to go with Chemist because its core mechanic would have been too similar to an existing job's?
