Bard and tanks show that they're afraid of adding in unique situational things to play around with and that also should mean that not all healers will be the same anymore. Maybe WHM is the healer that stores dmg from healing, because largely people do want a pure healer.

But on the flipside you could very well bring back more complexity to abilities on Astro, Scholar or Sage while reducing the button bloat. You could bring back more RNG for Astro due to consolidating buttons elsewhere with a new gauge meter or whatever.

And my real takeaway from this is that in the long run Reborne mode will probably be removed, once they start adding cool buttons to use on Evolved mode due to the instant cast stuff certain jobs might be in a situation where despite this they have nothing to press.

Also with two minute meta being gone, you have to start thinking what kinds of things will replace those buttons, and buffs. Will they all be entirely gone or will there be an alt use for such actions?

I'm relatively optimistic about all this.
For raid buffs, they'll probably become personal buffs somehow. Like, Brotherhood will probably still get you Chakras from others, but maybe not give the damage boost to the team.
