I don't know what can honestly be done for Final Fantasy XIV at this point.

One thing I think you are overplaying though, what is there to reskill as a healer? Min maxing melds? Or do you mean reacclimatising to each healer nuances? If it's the later, then that's entirely the point. It really does keep things fresh.

I thought we were talking about "custom job building" - like skill trees. The common cencept ist that everyone will put their points into the same tree anyway because meta.

When there is no meta which works for every content but there are different builds good for different content - and then the FF14 job system comes into play...

Then of course you can skill every job differently and you have to change the job depending on the content you run, so you will always play with a meta build.

But yes in general I am all for having strenghts and weaknesses for different jobs. Overcomming a weakness of your job and clear the content anyway was fun on DRK back in the day. But being excluded from content or being forced into a specific build / job is not.

I see the job system as an superior version of said skill trees TBH. It gives you a bit of flexibility to get a different flavour of gameplay along with bringing a unique niche to the party often without the need to re-gear.

SE just doesn't seem to want to take advantage of it, quite the opposite with the recent trend of homogenisation sadly.
