Yes, you see current PLD as stronger identity, I see current PLD as half of what it used to be.

Old PLD had one phase for their roots as a gladiator and one for their new magic abilities as a PLD. That, to me, tied the job mechanics very well to the job lore. Mashing both FoF and req into the same phase feels like they deleted any tie to the gladiator side of the job in an effort to make the holy magic side stronger.
