Sounds to me like you have not really engaged with the possibilities that Lost Actions and Essences allowed you to do. You could transform any class into any role, some lost actions dramatically changed how you played your jobs rotation too. All of those things are not possible with what Phantom Jobs provide. In terms of depth, if Lost Actions were a swimming pool, Phantom Jobs are puddle.

That is the one thing Phantom Jobs do better than Lost Actions, imho. The fact that Lost Actions were not unlockables but consumables meant that it caused some players to not experiment with the possibilities of the system.
