I'm not convinced by the 'job difficulty' argument. I've found the Bard harder to manage than dragoon or samurai, and maybe the monk. (the ninja, I just don't like no matter how great it is, & I tend to forget the poor reaper.) I'd much rather have the easier jobs get a little higher difficulty than to be just a lesser dps. And I just don't enjoy melee as much as casters or ranged. It's kind of annoying to have the game basically tell you that you'll be 2-3 melee jobs or you can just take a seat in the back.
