Dawntrail's mediatour dungeon was already cleared without healers.

White Mage, in EVERY final fantasy is not a DPS. They are healers. If you have your white mage in FF 1-9 DPS, they do like single digits.

Im sorry but this is just incorrect. White mages in all FF games, especially 1-9, have a range of powerful damaging spells. They most certainly do not do single digits. Final Fantasy as a series has almost always promoted healers dealing damage when recovery isn't required. ARR of this very game was built on that premise. Despite the mistakes recollections of some other posters, we were DPSing as much as we could in Coil 1-5, for example. And most of us enjoyed it

I admit I am a Cleric Stance obsessive. I would love to have it back. But I also wouldn't mind if only one healer - say, scholar - got it. And I think it would also be good if there was a healer whose time was spent mainly on healing and buffing to support the party, rather than DPSing. Overall, healing should be more engaging regardless of whether you are a green DPS or a lover of all thing curative.
