The same way Bard and Dancer / Summoner and Red Mage all coexist despite essentially offering the same thing (raid buff / raise / etc). By having the ways in which it’s used, applied and managed vary for each job in a unique way. I.E White Mage having actual support spells while SCH/AST has ability based support. Astrologian could have stronger buffs to compensate for cards rng mechanics (assuming they returned). Scholars buffs could interact with Deployment and/or cost Aetherflow and debuffs could be tied to damage over time. Naturally Sage would continue (or start lol) to be heavily dps-oriented.

Having overlap between jobs within the same role isn’t a bad thing as long as the ways in which they do it is different. I mean, nobody complains about the fact Bard songs and Dancer’s dances do literally the same thing (damage up), because they’re done differently enough to still be distinct (Bard rotates songs, Dancer has step mini game, one is aoe one is single target etc)
