I'm One Of The Filthiests Of Casuals And Even I Can See How Dumbdown FF14 Has Become!

^first of all I’m going to ignore your “I feel like you (insert baseless speculation)” comments because I know despite how often you discuss wanting fair discussion what you really mean is you want us to be nice while you are free to fling around any insult and hyperbole you want

and again I’m saying that your examples of basically adding 3 new primals that have swapped out VFX and maybe a different astral flow does not constitute an evolution of the design of the job in a meaningful sense as you are functionally playing the same rigid locked design but a part of your rotations appearance is slightly different l, something like you partially controlling the summoned primals or the primals having a core mini rotation that builds towards something would be a valid example of evolution of the modular primal format. Summoning shiva after pheonix when you would have summoned Garuda after Bahamut when both are just “summon casts aerial blast/diamond dust then 2-4 casts of gemshine + one slightly different astral flow”. The other example of a potential evolution IF they fixed the samey modularity would be allowing us to decide between 2 Demi’s and what primals they summon rather than a locked rotation

So basically evolution in a meaningful sense of the word would only occur through reconstruction of the jobs core job loop and the structure of its filler which we know from the way they design jobs they won’t do (except to make them easier with things like the healers, ergo the job; based on the way square changes jobs from expansion to expansion is functionally already at a dead end
