I love SCH's Tactical War-Sage aesthetics. The mortarboard, the glasses, the grimmoire, the quill- I love the concept of Arcanima, the use of written glyphs to "program" aether into living facsimiles, both to create aetherial constructs like the Faeries or dangerous substances.

Scholar exhudes that sense of control, given by deep mastery of both magic and war.

I really wish its aesthetics leaned further into the written word. I love the whole "magic writting" theme it has as a job- The names of the spells in English are a bit lackluster. In french, the skills and spells are all themed around treatises and laws.
FFXI's Scholar really felt like a savant with its use of the two grimmoires that allowed you to "augment" certain aspects of their kit by leaning into damage/debuffing or healing/buffing.

I honestly don't really care about the "fey" aesthetic of the class in FFXIV. I've always felt it was tacked on to mold it into the Summoner/Arcanist side of things. WHM is the job that has a connection with spirits of nature, that is all about the fluttery winds and leaves and flowers. Honestly WHM should have been the one with the access to a summon.
