I meant the FFXI monk.

There are obviously gameplay differences between the two and i have never leveled my MNK to 75, but for the sake of simple characterization what most people thought of monk was "class that hits stuff with H2H weapons, has lots of hp and has healing skills"

Kicks in MNK were only a passive skill that could be implemented as a high level PUG skill as well and PUG in FFXIV has also the best favors from light gear. At the same time, as a class with naturally high HP it's still a good idea to have high VIT.

Even if you made a MNK title in the FFXI sense with added "spiritual" characterization, you would only be giving it more healing spells and could perhaps make its VIT count for damage, but that would just screw the point allotment system.

So, PUG is indeed a FFXI MNK with less skills.
Making a MNK title in FFXIV would mean giving it skills and characteristics the original FFXI MNK didn't have. I just want that to be clear.
