How to have fun healing in normal content?

They have an aversion to using anything ranged in general, the "poster boy" is consistently a melee, WAR for ARR, DRG for HW, SAM for StB, DRK for ShB, PLD for EW, VPR for DT, which is a goddamn shame, RDM is so much cooler than SAM...

I mostly agree with this, but you forgot StB also had MNK. Oh, and I think 1.0 had BRD? Not sure how it was back then, but ShB's intro did have BRD in it.

That was actually just a dream, meteor was never canonically a BRD per the 1.0 cutscene though he does have his BRD outfit in the ShB cutscene

I see, thanks for the info. BRD showing up in the ShB intro made it seem like it was the "official" job of 1.0

I suspect that more down to earth, the explanation being probably because they already had the high definition movie version of BRD, much like they had DRG, WAR, SAM, MNK already in store from the previous cinematic trailers. Ain't a coincidence that they chose those specific jobs, added to the fact that it consolidated what the player had already seen the WoL as before and leaning a lot more into that all those jobs are now useless vs the Light, leading to the DRK reveal. Two birds one stone.
