You say the design of Sage is a little jarring because of the difference in design between old one and the FFXIV one, but adding a new class with Black and white magic will look too much like the Red Mage. If you take the Lore of FFXIV into account, it's not that strange, Sharlayan got great magical base, and they even developped technology along with it. Sage isn't only based on magic, but on medicine too, and this make sense
No one is saying Sage in FF14 should be BLM/WHM hybrid, just that calling it Sage is a bit off considering it's not a classic Sage which is very much an existing job concept in the series and it's nothing like the FF14 job. And I mean nothing, except that both are casters. Sage in the series and Sage in this game are far more disconnected than RDM and SMN.
