Well in the case of SMN and SCH, sure they used books but eventually the books separated into 2 types. If they'd gone forward with branching every base class into 2 jobs with different roles we might have seen things like lancer taking up a 1 handed pike and tower shield to be a templar filling the tank role, or a gladiator dropping the shield for a 2nd sword to be a DPS fighter job, etc...
