I'm looking at PLD and the change to make Goring Blade usable only under Fight of Flight, and I'm thinking, "Why? Just, why?"

On the one hand, yes, that's what I do 99% of the time anyway.

On the other hand, why must the game shoehorn me into playing that way? At a glance (I admit to not having looked at every change closely), many changes across the jobs seem aimed at ensuring that players play a job in one particular way, and only that particular way.

To which I say: It's one thing if the players want to optimize the fun out of something. It's quite another for the game to do it for them.
