i don't know what the hell this PLD, thing is but its not a paladin. the same could be said about WAR/DRG/BRD
in all FF titles Warrior is a use it all class that has average tanking abillity's. Dragoon is an over juiced lancer just because it can jump and wear the DRG AF doesn't mean it is. the DEV team was on some powerfull hallucinogenics when they made the BRD, probably listing to disco as well.

they didn't give us our classic jobs, they gave us a rundown mess. and we sucked it up because it looks like what it most certainly is not.
