I think that the lore they wrote to justify the not-Warlock class of FFXIV was bad, and that this class deserved a far greater deal of respect to its source material than what FFXIV showed it from the beginning.
Okay but the other ff titles are literally irrelevant, are you fuming that SGE is a gundam healer, what about that WHM lost its elemental focus, RDM’s healing is functionally useless. Few of the jobs really follow previous games and I don’t think they need to. 14 explains why it’s SMN was the way it is and I’m happy with that
